As a newborn photographer here in the DMV, I help all my clients prepare for their session so they can approach and leave their session feeling comfortable and confident. The vast majority of the work associated with photo sessions is done before the session, not the session itself. As part of the Marie Elizabeth Photography […]

This McLean, VA newborn session was so sweet. Alison’s family welcomed baby sister Carson, and they were simply a joy to photograph. It was a winter day when I traveled to this sweet family’s McLean home for their newborn session. Newborn sessions tend to be so serene. This newborn session was not only gorgeous, but […]

As a newborn photographer in the DC and Northern VA area, I have always adored in-home lifestyle sessions. I enjoy posed studio sessions, too, but nothing replaces documenting the connection between baby and parents in those first few days.

COVID hit the US just as my maternity leave was coming to a close. Just as I was preparing to head back into the world, the world shutdown. I have been fortunate enough to spend Rosie’s first year with her at home, although I have been home for a long time. Parents of newborns tend […]
