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.)

    A grand adventure is about to begin. ❤️

How absolutely stunning is this mama? 
Pregnancy carries a rare kind of beauty -one rooted not just in appearance, but in transformation and purpose. Maternity sessions are designed to capture these moments and to celebrate the amazing work your body is doing growing a new life! 

The ideal time frame for maternity portraits is 26-34 weeks. So if you're due this summer, NOW is the time to book your maternity session! Message me at tina@tinakraftsphotography.com so we can start planning your session!
    Had to share another of my favorites of this sweet girl. 🤍

    One moment, you’re cradling a tiny newborn who fits perfectly in your arms, marveling at each yawn and sleepy smile, and the next, you’re watching your “baby” stride out the door with independence in her step and a world of her own unfolding. The days feel long in the beginning - filled with diapers, first words, and small milestones - but somehow the years collapse into each other.  Time moves quietly, until suddenly the baby who once reached for your hand is reaching for her future, and you’re left wondering how it all passed in what feels like the blink of an eye.

I write this from experience.  I started my photography business when my kids were little … and now they are both adults. 🥹 I am grateful that they willingly agreed to be my photography subjects (albeit with a little bribe at times), and that I have treasured portraits of them throughout the years as a result.
Reflecting on all of this recently has led me to the conclusion that I would love to offer the same to my clients. Soooooo….I am returning to my roots and bringing back children’s portrait sessions! 

If you would like to preserve those years between *your* baby’s first and 18th birthdays, get in touch to schedule a time to come in to the studio!—————————> tina@tinakraftsphotography.com
    There is something so special about that dreamy period of quiet anticipation in those last weeks leading up to your baby’s arrival. 🤍🤍
