Ok, I have a confession to make…I have been very neglectful of this blog in the last two years.  It’s not that I don’t want to share my beautiful clients with you (I really do do that on a regular basis on Facebook and Instagram!), but I am generally just super busy with photographing my little clients and editing their images. . .and with life (having two teenagers means that I spend a loooooot of time chauffeuring ????)!    But I am going to do my best to try to carve out some time each week to share more of my sessions here because, seriously, couldn’t we all use a dose of adorableness?
The session I am sharing today is one of my favorites from the past year.  This gorgeous little girl was *such* a good sleeper —  I don’t remember her waking up at all during her session! — and she was very smiley as well, as you can see from the images below.  I was also super excited that this sweet girl’s mama loves autumn tones as much as I do, and I think there is no disputing that they look perfect on her!   Which color is your favorite for this cutie?

    Bethesda, MD and Washington D.C. newborn photographer receives award from Professional Photographers of America

    Bethesda, MD/Washington D.C. Newborn Photographer Named Bronze Medalist at International Photographic Competition

     

    Bethesda, MD – Washington D.C. newborn photographer of  Tina Krafts Photography (Bethesda, MD) was named a Bronze Medalist during Professional Photographers of America’s 2020 International Photographic Competition. Krafts’ work will be on display at the upcoming Imaging USA, held virtually January 17-19, 2021. Imaging USA is one of the largest annual conventions and expos for professional photographers.

    A panel of 36 eminent jurors from across the United States selected the top photographs from over 5,000 total submitted entries at PPA headquarters in Atlanta.

    Krafts was named a Bronze Medalist by earning a merit—a mark of quality and honor—for each of the four images included in her entry case to the International Photographic Competition. This is the most prestigious competition of its kind, where images are judged based on a standard of artistic excellence, not against each other. In 2020, Krafts was one of only 170 Bronze Medalists.

      I have had the pleasure of photographing so many gorgeous babies this Fall, including little Miss S. (I mean, seriously, look at her sweet little face and amazing hair!).  There were so many things that I *loved* about her session. . . I loved that this sweet girl was fairly alert during parts of her session, as it allowed me to capture some of her incredibly adorable expressions (be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom).  I loved that her parents appreciate autumn tones as much as I do, especially because I think that the burnt orange color — one of my favorites — was made for this cutie.  And, most of all,  I loved that it was evident from the moment I met her family that this little girl could not possibly be more loved.  (She will undoubtedly have her daddy wrapped around her little finger in no time at all. 😉 )

      I truly couldn’t be happier for this lovely family!

      I loved everything about this gorgeous 9-day-old sweet girl’s newborn session.  She was an amazing sleeper (though I did manage to catch a few photos of her with her eyes open), she flashed me some adorable smiles, and I couldn’t get over her amazing hair and cheeks!  It was also such a pleasure to spend a few hours chatting with her truly lovely parents.  It is sometimes hard for me to believe that my job consists of snuggling and photographing precious new babies and getting to know so many wonderful families!
      I couldn’t be more thrilled for this new family of three, and I am so grateful that they chose me to help them capture their memories of those fleeting first weeks of their sweet girl’s life.

          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.
