Meet baby Santino! This little cutie pie has already come to see me for his 6 month session and I cannot even believe how fast he is growing! I loved being welcomed into this amazing family’s home to capture their lifestyle newborn session. Santino was such a good sleeper and made my job so easy! We even had the opportunity to shoot a few outdoor shots which you know i was SO excited for!! Here are a few of my favorites:

WHITNEY MILK BATH | MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER | STAFFORD, VIRGINIA

This gorgeous mama and I met years ago when we both worked at Panera! She met her hubby there, fell in love, and are now welcoming their baby boy. When she contacted me about her maternity session she wasn’t sure what kind of session she wanted but when she decided on a milk bath I was ecstatic! Everything about her session was gorgeous. Motherhood looks gorgeous on you Whitney!! Here are my favorites!

JESSIE MATERNITY | MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER | VIRGINIA

Having the opportunity to photograph your friend’s maternity session is really something special. I have had the pleasure of capturing not one but two of her pregnancies!! We met years ago at a newborn workshop and have been instant friends ever since. She has captured my pregnancy journey and my family portraits many times and has been such a support for me personally and professionally.

This gorgeous mama is now the mother to 4 amazing kiddos . Jessie is a great friend/photographer friend and I have loved every minute of our photo adventures!! We lucked out big time with weather for this session and were able to explore a gorgeous private flower farm. Here are a few of my favs of this GORGEOUS FAMILY!

BABY LILIANA | NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER | STAFFORD, VIRGINIA

Meet gorgeous baby Liliana! This little beauty surprised her mom and dad a few weeks early! We had just shot their families maternity session and she surprised us all! She was an absolute doll baby and was so perfect at her newborn session. She has the most beautiful little features and I loved all of her setups! Here are some of my favs!

NADIA MATERNITY | MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER | MANASSAS, VIRGINIA

Yesterday’s warm weather reminded me of the magic that happened last summer! I had SO many incredible clients and sessions and this maternity session was ONE OF THEM!! This adorable couple was getting ready to welcome their baby boy and their session was amazing! The love these 2 share is off the charts and the entire session was just one beautiful photo after the next! Narrowing down favorites was tough but here were some :):)

BABY PAISLEY | NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER | STAFFORD, VIRGINIA

Meet baby Paisley!! I met this gorgeous family 2 years ago for spring photos and have loved working with them a few times since!! Last September they welcomed this gorgeous baby girl and she is one of the prettiest little babies I have ever photographed. She had what I like to call the good squish and is absolutely perfect! Here are some of my favorite images from her session!!

LIAM TURNS ONE! | MILESTONE PHOTOGRAPHER | STAFFORD, VIRGINIA

I love photographing cake smashes! I do not shoot them as much as I want too, BUT every once in awhile you get one like this and it reminds you of how much fun they can be. Liam was by far one of the best cake smashes I have ever photographed. I loved his airplane setup and he came to the session ready. He DESTROYED that cake and had a blast. It was fantastic!! This little guy is such a character and I loved every minute of this session.

TIFFANY MATERNITY | MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER | MANASSAS, VIRGINIA

On this FREEZING cold January day I had to blog about one of my favorite maternity sessions!!! It was a WARM and PERFECT day!! This adorable couple wanted to include their first baby in their maternity photos and I loved every minute of it. You know I am a sucker for a cute pup <3 We had a blast running all over and celebrating their first pregnancy! When this mama showed me the maternity gowns she brought for her session I about did a back flip because they are gorgeous and she is absolutely STUNNING in them! We shot in fields, the creek, the woods, EVERYTHING. It was amazing! Here are my favorite!!

BABY NOAH | NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER | STAFFORD, VIRGINIA

Meet baby Noah!!! This adorable little guy was so amazing for his newborn session! His mom and dad are smitten and were so much fun to work with! Noah was super sleepy and cuddly but also gave us some awesome open eye shots. I loved all of his setups and especially loved being able to celebrate him being the most perfect little rainbow baby. Here are some of my favorites.

DAVIDSON FAMILY | FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER | FREDERICKSBURG, VIRGINIA

Since I am on a roll with blogging family sessions here is another EPIC one from this past year!! This amazing couple is another fav of ours as I shot their wedding a few years ago. They welcomed their baby boy 2o days before Finley and have LOVED watching him grow into this incredible kiddo. He and Fin have been able to play a few times and it is really the most adorable thing I have ever seen. We started off the session capturing family photos and then finished with a golden hour cake smash! Russell was such a charmer and gave me SOO many smiles. Narrowing down my favorites was tough so here is one of the biggest blog posts ever :)
