Newborns

I photograph newborn sessions in homes throughout Northern Virginia, including Vienna, McLean, and Arlington.

What Should I Expect?

I focus on Lifestyle Newborn Photography sessions which take a more relaxed approach than typical posed newborn photography. Sessions are held in your family’s home, with a focus on both your new baby and your growing family. Being in your home allows for feedings, diaper changes, and whatever else the baby needs. Your little one sets the pace!

This session style is ideal for families who want to capture both what your new baby looks like, as well as how your little one has become a part of your life already. This session style is also great for families with older siblings as they can easily be included in the photos.

The best time for newborn sessions in before your baby around 2 weeks old given how sleepy and easy they are. HOWEVER, babies are adorable at ALL ages. We blink and babies grow up!

What If My House Isn't Photo Ready?

Don’t worry, your home does NOT need to be perfect. I’ll help find the best light and spaces to make everything look beautiful. I am very comfortable working in a variety of lighting situations and can easily do a little rearranging to make your space work. Typically, lifestyle images are taken in your baby’s nursery, the living room, and master bedroom, but can work with many rooms. I focus on where the light is best. Capturing the details of your home is a fun addition to the memories captured in a lifestyle session.
