As your newborn photographer in Northern Virginia, we’ll work together every step of the way from choosing the best locations to portray your family’s story, to picking the most flattering wardrobe, and using prompts to evoke natural interactions and connections.

As one of the only photographers in Northern Virginia certified as both a Click Pro Elite  and a Hello Pro Creative, I’m uniquely qualified to provide a professional photography experience resulting in beautiful, high quality newborn photographs. To further highlight my qualifications, I was a winner of Click Magazine’s Voice Competition in 2020, have been published in Click Magazine, This Detailed Life Magazine, and Z!nk Magazine, was a featured photographer in the book Hidden Cities, and was voted a Best Photographer in Rockville in 2021, 2020, and 2019.

What does my expertise mean for you?

  • Shorter session length; You’ll get a full gallery of images filled with tons of variety, including multiple settings, poses, and groupings. Capturing all of this in less time means you can get back to all things baby sooner.
  • Expert posing; As the author of several lifestyle photography posing guides, I’ll use my expertise to make you look natural, effortless, and beautiful in your images, while also keeping baby happy and comfortable.
  • Expert editing; As an editing educator, my extensive knowledge of editing processes keep you and your family looking like yourselves, at your absolute best. I also remove temporary baby marks like flaky skin, excess redness, and baby acne. You can see a handful of editing examples here.

The Process/ What to Expect

Step 1/3:

Check out my portfolios and pricing – Maternity info can be found here and Newborn info can be found here. Detailed pricing info can be found near the bottom of both pages. If you have questions, you may wish to check out the FAQ. Then get in touch!

The best time for a maternity session is around 32-35 weeks. For newborns, it’s best to do the session between 3-15 days of age. I encourage booking at least 4-6 weeks ahead of time to ensure availability and allow time for planning.

Step 2/3:

Complete your booking by filling out the (digital) paperwork I’ll send you. Your booking is complete and date held when I receive your retainer and signed session agreement. You’ll then receive access to my client closet to start picking out a gown, and we’ll set up a time for your planning call.

During your planning call we’ll go over everyone’s wardrobe, I’ll make recommendations for your location based on the type of images you want, and we’ll chat about hair, makeup, and accessories.

Step 3/3:

Have your Session!

After your session, you’ll receive a link to your private online gallery. You’ll be able to download your images directly from the gallery. Prints and products are also available – please inquire for pricing.
