Claire and Roger welcomed baby Neven at the end of December, what a wonderful and happy way to end 2020! And my camera couldn’t get enough of him, from his precious button nose to his tiny little toes, this in-home newborn session was one of my favorites for sure! They are a good looking couple, but their warmth, easy going demeanor, and pure love for their changing (for the better!) family shines through in their smiles and the twinkle in their eye makes their family even more beautiful. It was such a pleasure to photograph Neven after meeting Claire and Roger at their wedding this summer.
Congratulations!!!
Welcome Baby Lily!
In 2016, Mary and Brian were married on a sunny day in the shade of the Jefferson Memorial (link) in downtown DC. This year they welcomed a beautiful baby girl - Lily! Lily rocked her newborn session, she was all affection and on very special moments, showed us her *adorable* smile with dimples. Congratulations, Mary and Brian! It was an honor to meet your little girl.
Newborn during Social Distancing :: a ray of light comes into the world
With everything that has been going on, it’s been hard to find positivity, let alone envision the future. This beautiful mama was heartbroken there would be no photos of her first child’s first days on earth - until we worked out a wonderful system to keep everyone safe and at a distance, while capturing these precious moments that will never come again. Their cul-de-sac was private and empty. They put out a brand new, sealed, hospital mask for me near their front steps. We spent just 15 minutes, at least 10 feet apart, on their front porch and capture over 40 unforgettable photos. I used my sharp, L-series telephoto zoom lens to get up close and personal from so far away. This little baby’s smile and his parents’ love put a smile on my face and hope in my future.

Melanie, Tyson & Chester welcome newborn Harriet! In-home newborn portraits
Precious little nose, eyes, mouth, and fingers! Harriet is adorable and only one week old! The magnolia trees are in bloom and Chester is running around while their sleepy dog lounges on the couch next to mama and Harriet. What a fun afternoon for a photographer!
Welcome Baby Adrian!
This precious little girl was just 10 days old yesterday during her photoshoot, and she rocked every minute of it - from giggling in her sleep with a smile, staring wide-eyed at the camera, holding onto her mama’s finger, yawning, and even sneezing! I can’t wait to see how her little personality emerges over the next year.
First Newborn of 2020!
Back in January, Danielle and Chris welcomed an absolutely precious baby boy into their family. With his two older brothers already experienced toddlers, he’ll be in good hands as he grows up in this wonderful, loving bunch!
