Ben - Alexandria Newborn Photographer

There are many elements of meeting new clients that are a mystery until I show up to their session - I discuss a lot of things with my clients, but sometimes you don't know how things will be until you meet.

One main thing with newborn sessions is the setting - they are almost always taken in the parents home and though I will bring my props to each session it is nice to have some things to use that are the clients as it makes the session a little more personal and unique.

When I pulled up to Lisa and Dan's house I wasn't sure what to expect - it was a beautiful old building in Old Town Alexandria - GORGEOUS - but who knew what laid inside. From the moment I walked in I knew this session was going to be amazing - not only did they have one of the cutest boys in the world, they had a super awesome old carriage type home with exposed brick, old beams, amazing furniture and tons of character. Ah-mazing.

So the wave of baby boys continues with Ben - he was such a sweetheart. He slept, was awake and was just plain adorable. His Mom and Dad had some of the cutest beanie hats for him to wear too. Super cute. He loved to be swaddled and warm - two things I could take care of and he was a happy camper :)

Lisa and Dan - thanks so much for asking me to come and capture memories of little Ben. It was such a pleasure to meet you all! Enjoy your sneak peek!

The Long Awaited Alan - Alexandria Newborn Photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing this little man while he was still in his Mommy's belly :) When I took Kendra's maternity photos she let me know that she found out that her and her two sisters were all early babies - so to be hopefully expecting a call soon. Well her due date came and went...then Mr. Alan arrived just as he had planned. He was totally worth the wait. Super adorable and looked just like his Mommy's baby pictures.

Kendra and Greg - I was so happy to get to photograph your little guy. He was just resting up for me to come over and visit :) though I'm sure you got a good nights sleep out of him after I left! Enjoy him...before you know it he will be one and chasing his kitties all over the house! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Sweet Baby Girl - Alexandria Newborn Photographer

Such sweet little girls - I have said it before and I will say it again (and probably over and over again...) but I love to see the bond between new sisters. Even when they are close in age you can see the love and concern that a big sister has for her new baby sister.

I have been overwhelmed with newborn babies the last week (in a good way!!) - they were all due within a 4 week span and they all arrived within a week and half of each other!! Not only have I been incredibly lucky in the baby department, but also in weather department - babies love to be outside and in the warm air - and it has been warm.

This little girl was a complete angel and loved being outside. Her big sister who is also absolutely gorgeous, was a lot of fun as well. Melissa - thank you so much for asking me to come and capture the newness of your beautiful Maeve and her big sister Remy. They are both incredibly adorable and so lucky to have you and your husband. Enjoy them - take it from me, two girls are so much fun! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!!
