You’re in for a treat with this Washington DC Newborn Shoot!! I can barely wait to show you these epic and adorable expressions from baby girl!
I love that my job enables me to shoot in more than one location. While I LOVE being a Silver Spring Family photographer, and working from my studio here, there is something so special about being able to drive and meet families where they are.
This little one was just a couple of weeks old when we scheduled her sleepy session together. We decided to go with a traditional feminine vibe to her photos and do a fully pink background. I love going all-in for the girlyness factor on these sessions! But to add variety, we also did a cream/neutral set too!!
And baby girl showed up to play!! As I was shooting, I could not believe the adorable expressions she was putting on as we photographed!! Talk about a cutie pie!!
Even though this was a Washington DC newborn shoot, and we were out of my studio, I made sure to use all the same safety precautions as I do regularly. (You can read all about them here!)
I always make sure the shoots are safe, so the family could sit back and enjoy this experience in the early days postpartum. I know how much of a blur those days are! I have kids of my own, and I’ll never forget the unique whirlwind that is bringing your baby home from the hospital. The postpartum let-down for mamas, the adjustment to sleep deprivation, the swaddles and bottles, and pumping and burb rags everywhere.
When you come to me for an early days’ session, I recognize that you are stepping out of the blur and pausing time. We are stepping into a bubble with a camera and capturing all those tiny details you never want to forget. The eyelashes you gaze at during a contact nap. Or the crinkle of their nose when they smile. Or their tiny fingers and toes. It was just yesterday you were decoding these features on a sonogram, and now you’re holding them IRL!!
I want to help you freeze time, and step out of the whirlwind, to capture these moments.
Whether it’s a Washington DC newborn shoot, or something in my Silver Spring studio – consider this your formal invitation to take the time to photograph this first year of life with me.
