THROWBACK to this family of 3
•
… because they are now a family of 4! Let’s begin with a COVID update: I’m not adding any new in-home sessions to my calendar for the time being. My one in-home session until I re-evaluate again next month is for these sweet friends’ new baby boy. Please be in…

Social Distancing

Making the best of this time, which means color. Flower picking and sidewalk chalk (and bee dodging) after our projects this morning and some educational screen time. How have you been filling your time?

Northern VA Newborn Sesh: Sisters
•
A sister can be seen as someone who is both ourselves and very much not ourselves—a special kind of double. Toni Morrison One of the best things about newborn sessions is walking into a home that is new, where everything is still developing and growing and settling. And it’s even…

Look at all of this drastic change, girl.

Fall Minis: Mom & Dad
•
Let’s get some photos of just mom and dad, okay, bud? LOVE how this happened. So excited about how this gallery turned out. It’s one of my favorite things, how I and my clients often try to contain kiddos during our sessions, but when we stop is when the beeeeeest stuff…

Georgetown, DC Family Session
•
I love that my awesome families are patient as I change my mind a handful of times (these kiddos’ mom said, “well, isn’t that part of the creative process?” LOVE HER) about where I’d like us to stop during our sessions. Every session looks totally different, even if we do…

DC Newborn: Some quiet time

“There’s only one thing more precious than our time and that’s what we spend it on.” Leo Christopher This guy slept through so much activity (he is the fourth of four boys), and if he wasn’t sleeping super happily, he was just chillin’. I love newborn sessions, but I love…
