Northern Virginia newborns newborns newborns

I was looking at my calendar today and thinking about how last year at this time I had a new baby, feeling somewhat nostalgic! So I've decided to run a special for expecting parents! Anyone who books a newborn session by the end of 2008 (session can be in 2009, just must be booked this year) will receive 50% off of the session fee! So give me a call or drop me an email and we'll get you on the calendar!

And of course a newborn image! :o)

Family of 5

These 3 cute kids were such good sports as we tried to carry out a beachy vision today, braving the 50 degree winds! I didn't hear one complaint and I swear my kids would've whined me to death! What a fun, laid-back family! Hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek and we'll chat soon!

8 day old newborn ~ Northern Virginia Newborn Photographer

This little girl had a rough start in the hospital, but is home now, happy and healthy! She wanted to stay awake and party with us, but eventually was all partied out and let us do our thing. Her parents are such a great couple and now wonderful parents to his sweet baby girl. Congratulations E & D, hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Thank you, thank you, thank you

to all of my clients for being so patient! After my computer (operating system) crashed and my computer spent 3 days with the Geek Squad, I've been struggling to catch up ever since. Trust me when I tell you I'm staying up late (1-2am eek!) every night to get everything completed! Not every gallery/order is late, but for those of you who have patiently waited a few extra days, I'll be including a small "thank you" gift with your order! I'm a very timely person- running behind schedule is stressful for me so I appreciate that my clients are so understanding!! :o)

11 day old baby C

This little girl was determined to hang out with us today, fought sleep every step of the way, but eventually we won and she slipped into her sweet dreams. I had a great time chatting with new mom & dad while we waited her out, thanks for the coat info too, that was so nice of you! Congrats, she's a doll!

10 day old twin girls, K&K

These girls were so sweet, very easy going, napping nicely throughout the session. And even though they napped at opposite times, we were still able to get some great images. Thanks mom for all the help, your girls are just beautiful!

Twin girls

What an adorable set of identical twins! I had fun spending the morning with this family, I even got to eat a pretend chocolate chip cookie! It ended up being too cold to spend much time outside (wasn't it just hot a few days ago??) so we just played around inside. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek S family!

Mom gave me a little trick to be able to tell them apart, can you figure it out?

the babysnap 2008 calendar is almost full! whoa!

So BabySnap is booked now through the end of 2008 other than a possible "squeeze in" here or there (email me if you want to be squeezed). The last weekend session was filled tonight! As always I save some weekday availability for newborns so if you are expecting your new babe in the next 2 months, please call me asap and I'll get you in. I also know some amazing photographers so if we can't figure something out for family sessions etc, I can sure refer you to someone great!

My calendar is open for 2009 and I have started booking January so let me know if you want a winter session- knit hats, bright scarves, rosy cheeks, yeah! Thank you to all my clients for keeping me busy, I've loved working with every one of you! :o)

I can't post without including a picture so here's my 2 year old Kennedy last weekend:

4 days new [Northern Virginia newborn photographer]

8 days ago I did a maternity session and said "see you in a month!". Four days later, baby T decided to make his super early arrival so today I was back for more! I loved photographing this four-day-old 5 pound peanut, he was so easy to settle and so sweet! Congratulations C family!!!

As always I love the serious ones (ps look at those wrinkles ahhh soooo sweet!)
