Sweet In-Home Newborn Photography Session in Northern Virginia

Hello and welcome, I'm Stacey voted The Best Northern Virginia and Washington D.C. professional newborn photographer. I’m so grateful you're here. As a professional newborn photographer, I provide portraits that are completely unique to every families needs. I strive to provide one of a kind baby portraits for expecting parents. I feel a baby is most comfortable in their own home where you have everything you need. I have experience working in homes with ideal and not so ideal lighting. All I need is a room that has a window that brings in natural lighting and I can make some magic.

It’s super important to me that I get to meet each client. This allows us to get to know one another, but also we get to discuss all the details that go into a newborn session. One of the main things discussed is the space. I recommend doing the session in the rooms that have the best natural light. So typically that can include the master bedroom, nursery, spare room, and living room. I have clients focus on those “ideal spaces” and declutter. My goal is to focus capturing the family and your newborn baby. Decluttering helps any distractions in your newborn portraits.

During the session I captured a mix of simple newborn poses and candid shots. Focusing on Sunny’s needs and really letting him guide the session. Sunny was a little hungry still, so we let him guide the session and we took a break so mom could feed sweet sunny. Once he was fully fed, I swaddled him using one of my wraps that I provide and let him rest before I started to pose him. In order for me to safely and successfully pose any baby they need to be in a deep sleep. Swaddling and feeding baby is the best way to keep them happy. Sunny slept through the whole session which allowed me to capture some sweet sleepy and adorable portraits.

I love the idea of including family pets, but this also determines how the pets are. Oreo was so curious and wanted to be part of every step of the session which I loved! Your fur pets are family and should be included as well! I’m already missing Oreo’s kisses!

Sweet Ashburn Virginia Newborn Photography | Baby Finn

I had such an absolute amazing time capturing this growing family at their Ashburn Virginia home for baby Finn’s newborn session. When I first arrived ms Audrey greeted me with the biggest smile. She wanted to show me all her toys and I was super excited she wanted to have a tea party with me! Of course I got greeted with the pups too. Who couldn’t resist some doggy kisses.

Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. After greeting everyone we headed to the master bedroom and nursery, both rooms had amazing lighting and those are the rooms I typically stay in to make sure the portraits come out beautifully. I love the colors that Heather incorporated into the session. Adding a little bit of color is always so fun and just makes the images pop. Baby Finn was literally a champ this whole session. After his feeding he was out, and through out the whole time of me posing him he did not once need a pacifier. Every baby is different and some are little more sensitive than others, some need more comfort and some are happy as can be.

I love the idea of including family pets, but this also determines how the pets are. In this case Macy was the more cooperative one, and that’s okay. I let the dogs guide me, and if they’re just too excited and don’t want to lay down then I don’t push anything.
