Classic & Simple Northern Virginia Newborn Photography

Are you looking for a classic and simple Northern Virginia in-home newborn photography experience? Well, you came to the right place. 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. Depending on your tastes and how you wish to enjoy them really determines how your portraits will turn out. For Megan's vision, she really loved the idea of authentic and classic portraits for her newborn daughter and family. She also loved how I shared why an in-home newborn session is beneficial and how I can safely pose her daughter in the comfort of their own home.

I believe it's super important to get to know each of my clients before they take the leap on booking me. I encourage this because I think every family deserves to see a full gallery, ask any questions they have and really discuss their vision for their session, that way I can better serve them but also give them a chance to be part of the process.

Sweet Kendall arrived on May 18th, and I captured their family two short weeks after in their beautiful home in Fairfax, Virginia. During the session I captured a mix of simple newborn poses and candid shots. Focusing on Kendall's needs and really letting her guide the session. Sweet Kendall was a little hungry still, so we let her guide the session and Megan fed her daughter. Once she was fully fed, dad swaddled her and let her rest before I started to pose her. 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 baby happy. Kendall slept through the whole session which allowed me to capture some sweet sleepy and adorable portraits.

Thank you so much for following along, sweet Kendalls portraits turned out great. Thank you Megan and Drew for allowing me into your home, looking forward to seeing Kendall grow and can’t wait to capture more of your family in the future.

Northern Virginia Cake Smash Photography Session featuring baby Estelle

How adorable is this Northern Virginia Cake Smash Photography Session with baby Estelle? Milestone sessions are one of my favorite sessions to capture. It’s that fun age when they are learning to walk and talk and SO curious with everything around them.

My biggest advice I could give for parents when booking a Northern Virginia Family Session and Cake Smash Session is to not expect anything to go right. You heard me! When they get to that age (one year old), this is when they become more vocal of what they like and dislike. So for cake smashes, not every kids will be excited to have a full cake and dig into it. But no matter how the child reacts to it, just know, happy or not these memories are worth capturing and you can later on share these memories and have a good laugh.

Tips for picking the perfect cake. This is VERY important. Simple is key! I would steer away from fondant because that’s really hard for a little one to get into. Highly suggest frosting because that’s easy for the little ones and makes a good photo op! If you have a theme for the session I would suggest getting your cake to match that theme! Very adorable and I have great baker recommendations to fit your needs!

I always like to start with a couple of portraits before baby gets messy, this includes family photos as well! This gives them a chance to warm up to me. I always recommend the session to start in the AM for best lighting and happy little one. We all know that our little ones have, what’s called witching hour so definitely morning is best. If you are having fun, your baby will most likely have fun as well!

I’m a Northern Virginia Newborn and Family photographer based in Loudoun County, VA.
