Who says girls have to wear pink? | Alexandria, VA Baby and Family Photographer

I recently had the pleasure of photographing Baby "E" and her wonderful family at their lovely home in Alexandria, VA.  The baby girl was as pretty as can be, all dolled up in her navy blue dress to match her two big brothers. At 5 weeks old, her eyes are lighting up and smiles are starting to emerge. This is one of my absolute favorite baby stages -- there is such an amazing transition from being a totally squishy and sleepy bundle to being an animated and interactive baby. I felt so fortunate to be able to photograph her at this age.

The parents are two of the most sincere and kindhearted people that I know. And they are just over the moon about having a girl.  She is such a sweet addition to their two older boys who are both ALL BOY.  When they weren't running around the yard, wrestling, or being goofy with each other, the boys were actually quite gentle and affectionate with her. And they were very good sports about having their pictures taken. I couldn't be happier for this fabulous family of five and I truly enjoyed my time with them!

Here is a sneak peak from our session:

Crimson + Green = Sweetness at Six Months | Washington, DC Baby Photographer


I kicked off the busy fall season with a wonderful session with the "F" family and their beautiful six month old baby girl. I truly enjoyed getting to know the parents, who are so warm and friendly and are just loving parenthood. I learned that the dad went to certain university down the street from my alma mater in Cambridge, MA.  I tried not to hold it against him, as the mom and I actually attended the same school - undergrad for her, business school for me. Small world, and Go Green!

But college talk aside, with the weather starting to turn cool, we decided to stay indoors for our session.  They have a lovely home in NW Washington, DC with huge picture windows in their bedroom, perfect for a photo session with a baby. The sweet little girl was cooperative and smiley and very comfortable propped up on her arms, happily posing for the camera in a variety of outfits and positions.  I just love to photograph babies this age!

I look forward to returning to their home in a few months to capture her cuteness when she's 9 months old.  So many developmental changes happen over the course of 3 months, I cannot wait to see her again to see how she's grown!
