This Arlington newborn session was such a joy to photograph. Julia, the mother, is the sister of my best friend, so it is always so wonderful to see our friends’ families grow! I went to their Arlington home the week of Thanksgiving to photograph this special time for them. Baby Delilah was the sweetest little […]

This is a short and sweet preview of baby Delilah’s newborn session. She was the most adorable little one, even smiling during one of her photos! I had the honor of photographing this session the week of Thanksgiving. Julia is my best friend’s sister, so what a joy it was to capture this tender time […]

Oh, my, how I love this outdoor newborn session! This was my very first outdoor newborn session, and I cannot recommend them enough. Not only were we gifted with gorgeous scenery, but I find that newborns enjoy being outside. This can make the session run so smoothly! This outdoor newborn session was photographed at The […]
