Baby Katelyn * Session 2! | Northern Virginia Baby Photographer

It's true what they say...they grow up so fast! Katelyn is now 6 months old and just had her 2nd session in her Baby's First Year Plan. She was so much fun to photograph and totally made my job easy.



She looks just like a little doll in this one!

We did this session at Katelyn's home, and her brothers got in on the session too! I love photographing children in their own environments--Kids are so much more comfortable in their own houses and I think it really shows.
I love this next one.



This one just cracked me up--we were trying to get a shot of all 3 kids together and Dylan would not cooperate. I love how Brendan and Katelyn have almost identical looks on their faces!

What a fun session! Can't wait for our next one in a few months :)

Baby Katelyn | Northern Virginia Baby Photographer

Baby Katelyn is my newest Baby's First Year member! She is such a little cutie and was a great model. I'm really looking forward to seeing her grow over the next 12 months. Here are a few faves from the session. Enjoy!

Future comedian?

Or maybe hand model?



Katelyn is the first girl in a family of 3 kids, so I just had to put her in a tutu!


I love these pics with mom.




Katelyn's brothers both have collages like this one from their 3 mo sessions, so I made one to match theirs. Again, had to add a splash of pink!

Baby Ellery

I photographed Abby and Matt's wedding back in 2007 and was so happy they wanted me to do newborn photos of their very first baby, Ellery. I love to see my wedding couples and see how their families have grown--it is really one of my favorite parts of my job. Ellery was a great model and just so sweet and little. Here are some of my faves from the session.

Baby Michael

I had the honor of doing Baby Michael's first ever professional photo shoot recently. He was unbelievably good--so good that I ended up with nearly 300 images from our session! With Michael being so good, plus the whole family being so darn adorable, I was smiling the whole time editing these images.
Here are a few of my favorites.

Seriously, could he be any cuter?





I love mom and baby pictures :)

He's #1!






See, I told you they were an adorable family!

Ashyn & Will: Lifestyle Portraits

What are lifestyle portraits you ask? For me, it is when I go to the location of the client's choice--usually their home--and photograph the subjects in their natural environment. I've found this works great with kids who are in the age range of about 2-5, the age when they tend to freeze up in a studio type environment. This was the case for Ashlyn--we did studio portraits about a month before these, and she was just so interested in everything else around her, and it was reflected in the photos. We tried these at her house, and they turned out so much more natural. Ashlyn's mom had a little tea party set up for her in her adorable room, which made for some great shots. And Will is just getting cuter by they day!
Here are some faves.

New Birth Announcements

I am super excited about my new brith announcements! Here is the first sample with the adorable baby Georgia. The design can be printed as a folded card, or like a postcard. I have some more designs that I will be posting soon, but I just couldn't wait to post this one. These will be available a la carte with any sitting, and I will also be including them in my new New Baby Package, which is a new addition to the portrait offerings.
