I could go on and on why you should have a newborn session as a DC Newborn Photographer. I previously wrote a post on why you should have a maternity session. These reasons also apply to newborn sessions. 1. Time is Fleeting. If there is anything I have learned as a mother, it’s that time […]

Figuring out how to choose your newborn photographer can be overwhelming. I love being a part of such a talented, supportive group of newborn photographers in the DC area. What I love even more is that we are all unique in many ways – not one of us is exactly like another. We each want […]

One of the largest worries my clients come to me with is what to wear for their Washington DC newborn session. Most people do not naturally have dresses for photo sessions already in their wardrobes. Naturally, this can cause confusion or indecision on what to wear. The overarching idea to aim for is to look […]

I’m a newborn photographer, I did not get newborn photos. You read that correctly. I specialize in motherhood photography and made the choice to NOT get photos taken when Rosie was born. Why? We were so busy – there were many items on our to-do list, and we felt like we were running out of […]

This winter Northern VA newborn photo session was blissful! I find photographing newborns during the winter makes for cozy and comfortable sessions. You don’t need to leave the house, and you can even choose to have Lori Nansi, my preferred hair and make-up artist, come right to your door. It was the week before Christmas […]

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. There is so much to love about having your newborn session at home. I list my […]

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 […]

This Maryland newborn session was photographed on a crisp fall day. We had documented this beautiful family’s maternity session in the summer in DC. I love photographing babies in the cooler months because of the cozy feel it lends to the photos. It almost feels like hibernation! Baby Penelope was so calm the entire session, […]
