Baby Lucas | In-Home Lifestyle Newborn Session | Springfield, VA Newborn Photographer

It's no secret that lifestyle newborn sessions are one of my favorite types of sessions, but I absolutely love it when I get to go into a family's home right after baby has arrived and document those first moments as a new family.  Baby Lucas arrived on Christmas Day -- what a wonderful Christmas gift!  

Kate + Jeremy's Christmas Tree Farm Session | Leesburg, VA Photographer

We had a great time at Day Star Farm for Kate and Jeremy's couples session!  What better place for cozy, holiday photos!  Aside from being a very picturesque location for photos, Day Star Farm is a family run, horse breeding farm.  As a horse person myself, I loved seeing the pretty horses grazing in the pastures.  The farm is also home to a very friendly donkey that happened to make his way into a few of the images.  

Alexandria, VA Lifestyle Newborn Photo Session

This gorgeous family made my job so easy!  I absolutely love lifestyle newborn photo sessions -- the sweet freshness of a newborn baby and the happiness that new little baby brings to the lives of everyone it surrounds is such a precious moment in time to capture.  

Bishop Family | Lifestyle Newborn Session

This lovely couple welcomed a very precious little bundle this year and I was so grateful to have photographed him (and his parents) when he was just a few days old. Lifestyle photography is something I really love so when these three opted to add lifestyle shots to their posed newborn session, I was thrilled! There is something so lovely about photographing a family when they have a brand new, fresh baby.  So much snuggling and coziness all around.  Congrats Bishop family! 

Old Town Alexandria Family Session | Alexandria VA Family Photographer

Old Town Alexandria is the perfect setting for photos - and the Carlyle House is the perfect backdrop!  This gorgeous and oh-so-sweet family of six was a joy to photograph!  Enjoy a little peek at a few of my favorites from this lovely little Alexandria family session.

Angi + Zeb's Wedding | Fargo, ND Wedding Photographer

Angi and Zeb are honestly two of the most genuine people I've ever met.  Their love is so obvious and it was such a joy to photograph them on their wedding day in Fargo.  Their wedding party and family was a whole lot of fun too!  Congrats to the lovely couple!
