Potomac, MD newborn photography | Baby girl and “big” brother portraits

Welcoming a new baby into the world is one of the most joyful and special occasions in life.  It is also a bit of a whirlwind, and that new baby stage passes by in the blink of an eye.  But professional newborn photography can help families capture and preserve those fleeting first few weeks of babyhood.  With a fully-equipped studio in Potomac, MD, Tina Krafts Photography works with clients throughout the Washington, D.C. metro area to create custom newborn portraits that both document those precious baby details and reflect each family’s individual style.  The studio is stocked with a carefully curated collection of gorgeous, high-quality backdrops, blankets, wraps, outfits, and hats (including lots and lots of bear bonnets – a personal favorite!) in a full range of colors, so Tina Krafts Photography can match a family’s aesthetic whether they prefer neutral tones, or are fans of bolder colors or patterns.   Of course, we are always happy to incorporate items of special significance to clients into newborn sessions as well, to further personalize those newborn images.

If you would like to create custom newborn portraits that preserve your baby’s first weeks, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!  (It is never too early to reserve a space on my calendar for your newborn session!)

    Although most of my newborn portrait sessions take place within the first 2.5 weeks after the baby is born, I have photographed many, many “older” newborns, including this sweet girl, who was just about 5 weeks old at the time of her session.   As you can see, she was still a petite little girl at 5 weeks! She slept through most of her session, but we also captured some adorable awake images as well.  (Her wakeful expressions were simply adorable, especially her sweet little smile in the third image below!)

    We used a variety of different colors for her portraits, but her mom specifically requested that we use some pinks and incorporate some hearts into her session, to reflect the fact that she was born on Valentine’s Day. ❤  I am a total sucker for holiday-themed images, so you can imagine my excitement about this request!  (Be sure to scroll to the end to see some of the Valentine’s portraits.)

      Potomac newborn photographer | beautiful December holiday baby portraits

      Potomac newborn photographer – beautiful December holiday baby portraits

      Hi friends! It has been a while,  but I’m finally getting a minute to update this blog with some of my more recent client sessions.  So please forgive me if I am sharing holiday baby portraits even if it *is* April!   (If you would like to see more of my recent work, check out my Instagram page: www.instagram.com/tinakraftsphotography or the portfolio tab here on my website!) I always have the best intentions of sharing my portrait sessions here, but I do prioritize actively photographing clients, editing galleries, processing orders, and responding to messages. If only there were 40 hours in a day! 🙂
      But keep your eyes open for new posts coming your way – I have soooo much work to share!

      The images below are some of my favorites from a special newborn session I photographed back in December.  This little sweetheart is just *stunning,* and I loved the colors that her parents requested for her session.  (The purple was made for her, in my opinion!)  I was also super excited that her mom and dad wanted to included some holiday-themed images in her session, as I always love styling holiday portraits.  And who doesn’t love a reindeer lovey, right?

      Be sure to scroll through all of the images so you don’t miss this beauty’s sweet smile and perfect little piggies!

        Washington Commanders baby portrait session | DC newborn photographer

        Washington Commanders baby portrait session – Northern Virginia newborn photographer

        It was such a treat to photograph this perfect baby girl and to work with her sweet family, who recently relocated to the area to join the Washington Commanders family.   Naturally, her parents wanted to incorporate some of her dad’s uniform/gear into her portrait session; I just love how perfectly she fits into her dad’s football helmet!
        We also captured a number of more traditional portraits, incorporating a floral theme…I have shared some of my favorites below.
        I am so very thrilled for this incredibly sweet family, and I wish them continued success and happiness in the DMV area!

          Those first few weeks with a newborn baby are one of the most extraordinary and fleeting seasons of your life.  In a matter of just a few weeks, tiny features begin to change, little toes and fingers uncurl, sleepy snuggles give way to longer periods of alertness, and the little one you longed to meet begins growing rapidly before your eyes. 
This chapter passes so quickly that many of these precious details fade from memory. Newborn photography helps to preserve those memories, however…long after your baby has outgrown your arms, these images will bring you back to the awe, love, and joy at the beginning of your family’s story. ❤️

          For the last decade, I have been almost exclusively photographing newborns and babies. Over the last year, however, I have reintroduced various types of portrait sessions, including children, family, and pet sessions. 
Among these “new” portrait offerings is one that has quickly become one of my favorites: fine art children’s portraits. These portraits are thoughtfully crafted images that are designed to capture the beauty and emotion of childhood in a timeless way. These sessions importantly allow your kids the opportunity to dress up and feel special, encouraging confidence and allowing their unique personalities to shine.  The ultimate result is heirloom-quality artwork for your home that preserves a season of your child’s life. 🤍

          Did you know that I offer *both* posed *and* lifestyle (as well as hybrid) newborn portrait sessions at my Washington D.C. area studio? 

Those first days with your new baby are filled with fleeting moments you'll never want to forget, and there are beautiful ways to preserve them through newborn photography. Lifestyle newborn sessions focus on capturing natural moments with your family in a relaxed environment, highlighting authentic connections, cuddles, and the beauty of everyday life with your new baby. Posed newborn sessions are more carefully styled, with your baby gently and safely guided into timeless poses that highlight every precious little detail, creating beautiful heirloom portraits you'll treasure for years to come. As a photographer experienced in both styles, I love offering families the freedom to choose the experience that feels most like them (or even the best of both worlds - a hybrid session!). Whether you envision heartfelt, documentary-style images or beautifully crafted portraits, my goal is to create photographs that not only document how your baby looked, but preserve your memories of this extraordinary season of your life.
