Family & Newborn Portraits
Connection-Focused Family & Newborn Portraits — At Home, Studio, or On Location
Family sessions with me are centered on connection — because the most meaningful photos come from the in-between moments: the laughter, the snuggles, the way your child’s hand fits in yours. As a DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia family photographer, I specialize in relaxed, lifestyle portraits that celebrate the realness of your relationships — not just what you look like, but who you are together.
Whether you’re welcoming a new baby, chasing toddlers in the backyard, or gathering for an in-home session with grandparents, my goal is to make the process feel effortless. I don’t believe in stiff poses — just a joyful experience where your family can slow down and be fully present with each other.
Newborn sessions take place in your home, where baby and family feel most comfortable. These sessions are flexible, unhurried, and deeply connected — focused on documenting your growing family just as you are. Big siblings and grandparents are always welcome.
what to Expect
From Day One, You’re Supported
Every family session begins with a brief conversation so we can talk through your family, your needs, and what type of session makes the most sense for you — whether that’s in your home, the studio, or an outdoor location. This ensures everything feels aligned before moving forward. My goal is to make you feel completely confident and excited about the process.
Two weeks before your session, we’ll meet on Zoom to go over session details, meet “face to face,” and make sure you feel totally prepared. If anything new comes up along the way, I’m always available to help.
Session Day: Genuine Connection & Easy Vibes.
Whether we’re capturing your growing family or welcoming your newest addition, the goal is the same: honest moments that feel like you. I’ll gently guide you into natural interactions without forced poses. We’ll take our time — pausing when needed for snacks, snuggles, or a moment to breathe — and I’ll document the laughter, love, and in-between magic that unfolds. These sessions are about connection, not perfection.
After the Session: Art That Lasts a Lifetime.
About two weeks after your session, we’ll meet for a personal reveal and ordering appointment (in person or via Zoom). You’ll vew your images for the first time and be guided through selecting your favorites with clarity and zero pressure. Together, we’ll plan finished artwork that feels right for your home — pieces designed to be enjoyed every day, not stored away.
