Handsome Baby Boy | Alexandria VA Hospital Newborn Photographer

Baby William... he is oh so handsome and darling. I simply adore his perfect little nose and round little cheeks. 

He decided he didn't want to wait around any longer for the big "being born" event and surprised us all a little bit early. Totally okay with me, I was thrilled to meet him. I photographed his parents when we met for his mama's maternity session, and I was eager to meet the little dude in the hospital for his first 48 session.

Here are some of my favorite images from our session together - enjoy!

Brand New Baby Sister | Northern VA Hospital Newborn Photographer

She's here! After making everyone wait (not-so-patiently) beautiful baby Claire made her debut. And I have to say, she was without a doubt 110% worth the wait. She is so gorgeous and adorable and downright precious. I was so thrilled to meet her in the hospital for her First 48 session when she was just hours old. I love First 48 sessions because they capture something so special about the newness of a new family member. And after having the best time at this wonderful family's maternity session, I couldn't wait to see them all (+1) again!

Big sister Nora jumped into big sister mode immediately, and she was a complete natural at big-sistering right away. She was so eager and happy to be holding baby Claire in her lap. I could tell right away that these two are going to be so close and have so much fun together as they grow up. I can just see them now, staying up way too late telling secrets and sharing jokes with each other. Their parents telling them to go to sleep already, but quietly loving how bonded their girls are.

I can't wait to share the images from her portrait newborn session that I did too, but in the meantime here are some of my favorite images from their First 48 session. Enjoy!

Best Valentine's Day Gift of All - Hospital Newborn Photography | Washington DC Baby Photographer

This Valentine's Day brought these two parents the best gift they could have asked for - a beautiful baby girl! After mom's maternity session, I was so honored to be invited to photograph her new baby in the hospital when she was just a day old. She is so precious.

I can't wait to see her again soon for her newborn session, but until then here is a preview of baby Evelyn's Fresh 48 session, enjoy!

Brand New Baby Brother | Arlington VA Hospital Newborn Photographer

This post is long overdue, but I hope handsome little Evan's brand new squishyness makes up for at least some of my tardiness! I got to meet Evan's mom for her maternity session and also met with them for his newborn photos. In between, I was thrilled to do this in-hospital Fresh 48 session after he was born. From his very first hours he was surrounded by so much love. Mom and Dad were there of course, but so were Grandma and Grandpa. And even though he didn't show it right away, I think even big brother Declan had nothing but love for his new little brother. I love in-hospital sessions because they capture something so authentic and so wonderful when it's brand new.

Congratulations to this new family of four!
