There are big moments in your life that deserve professional photography and having a baby is definitely one of them! I can't tell you how often I hear from clients that they are so glad they had a session because that tiny baby grew so quickly. In fact, they are shocked at how different their baby looks just 6 weeks after they are born. As a Northern Virginia newborn photographer it's my job to capture all those tiny features so you never forget how small they once were.
Experience
When you hire me as your newborn photographer you get someone who has been there done that three times now, lol!
I know how excited you are as you approach your due date and how overwhelmed yet completely blessed you will feel during those first weeks as a new parent.
So my job as one of the photographers in Northern Va is to prepare you ahead of time as much as possible and reassure you on the day of our session that you guys are doing everything right.
Preparation
From the moment you hire me, we will start prepping for your session. This includes tips and advice on what to wear from me plus my Pinterest boards full of ideas to help you coordinate the entire family.
I'll be sending you my Maternity and Newborn Tips so you know exactly what to expect on the day of your session. Once that day comes I'll walk you through our session and give you plenty of direction on what to do, it's easy I promise!
Reveal
After your session, I'll get to work editing your gorgeous photos and getting your gallery ready as soon as possible. I know how excited you will be to see your photos!
I know traveling and schedules can be tough so you get to see your photos from the comfort of your own couch. I'll send over the slideshow link and you have 24 hours to watch it over and over again before you decide on your collection purchase. I love when couples make a date night of it and enjoy a glass of wine as they look through their photos!
Ordering
You can decide on your favorites together and order prints, wall art, and even a baby book right from your gallery. I love designing gallery walls for my clients that include photos from their session plus personal photos they might have. I can take all of the guesswork out of what size to order and how to arrange them!
As your Northern Virginia newborn photographer, I want you to have beautiful images to display in your home along with digital files to share with family and friends on social media. Don't forget to send out the link to your gallery to your family so they can see the portraits we captured of you!
