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!

What Would You Save in a Zombie Apocalypse? | Washington DC Baby Photographer

Not my usual subject line, right? But I promise, it has a point.

Sometime last year I did something pretty unexpected: I got completed addicted to The Walking Dead. Now, I totally understand if it isn't for you - it wasn't really for me either - but stick with me, I have a non-Zombie related point to make.

In the beginning of the series, way way back in season one, the main character, Rick, is trying desperately to find his wife and son. The city has been abandoned, zombies are everywhere. It's treacherous to travel and things are bleak.

The good news is, he did find them eventually (it was a very heartwarming moment in a show filled with zombies). But when he finds her, his wife asks him,
How did you know we were alive?

You know how he answered?
All of the photos in the house were gone.

In the middle of the zombie apocalypse, when she was rushing to escape with her son, to find safety, when she knew she would never be back again, she took her family photographs with her. Albums, portraits from the wall, they were all gone because they were that important to her.

When I saw that it struck a chord with me. Sometimes we forget how powerful images are. How much of a person is left behind in the photographs we have of them. It's how we remember the little details of how they were. It's how we see how they aged over the years. It's how we get a glimpse into their relationships and see how they smiled and looked at the people they loved the most.

With any luck (knock on wood) we won't be facing a zombie apocalypse anytime soon, but what if there was a fire? Or what if you had to suddenly move to a smaller place? My guess is you would save those photos at any cost.
