Valentine’s Day newborn portraits | Bethesda photographer

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.)

    Did you know we offer custom pet portraits at Tina Krafts Photography?
Because pets are family. Our furry babies are woven into our routines, our memories, and our hearts. They give us unconditional love, comfort on hard days, and joy in the quiet moments. A portrait session is a way to honor that bond, capturing their personality and the place they hold in our lives. Because family deserves to be remembered, paws and all. 🐾❤️

    I was SO excited to meet this absolutely perfect little guy earlier this week! I have known his mama for almost two decades, and I just adore her and her entire super sweet family. 
Congratulations, Z family - soooo happy for you!! ❤️
    It is such a privilege to have a job that allows me to meet the sweetest families and help them capture those first wondrous weeks with their new little one! 

This little guy is clearly surrounded by love. ❤️ I think you can tell from this image how much his big sister adores him, can't you? So sweet!
    Hope everyone is staying safe and warm today! How much snow did you get where you live?  We haven’t seen a plow yet, so I’m just hunkered down today doing some editing and prepping for sessions this week.

This little guy was one of my first newborns of 2026 - he was the absolute sweetest, and had the *best* expressions! Isn’t he the cutest?! 💚
