Can you believe this sleepy, little one is 3 weeks old and 6lbs!? She is so incredibly gorgeous!

I thought President’s Day was the perfect day for a picture of a baby in a basket. (say it with me…) Awwwww.

My sister’s best friend just had her second baby–an over 9lb baby boy! He was so beautiful. He was over two weeks when he came to see me, and was so alert. He didn’t sleep a very long time, but he didn’t cry much either. He just lied there and looked into my eyes the whole time as I fell deeply in love with him. His big sister was so funny and equally as gorgeous. I had so much fun!

This was his one minute of crying time, and he even looked handsome during that minute!

I love newborn yawn faces. I think the way a baby yawns gives you a glimpse into their teenage years .

One of my best friends had a baby! Again! The first time, I was there all night, but she had to have a c-section. The next time, I was supposed to support her through a VBAC; but as I got there, they were wheeling her back for a repeat cesarean. Third time’s the charm, right? She scheduled her cesarean since all doctors say no way to a VBAC at that point. And I planned to be there for photos afterwards. She ended up going into labor before the appointment and I was out of town. She called me crying with happiness, saying she had had a VBAC right there in the OR.
This fourth time, I was determined that I would see a Henderson baby born. And FINALLY it happened. I was a nasty, blubbery mess the whole time.

Even though Daddy is also a photographer, they honored me with letting me do a newborn session with Emma. What is better than hanging out with your friend and playing with a pretty, new baby?

What a sweet angel Little V was. Thank you to the A family for letting me cuddle her for a couple hours!

Another sweet baby came for his close up–my first boy in a long time! We had such a great time and even went outside for some photos! Thanks for sharing T with me! He was amazing!

And isn’t his mama so beautiful? I think this was my favorite from that morning.

Little Baby S was the first newborn to come to my home for a session. And the first that I used studio lighting with. I discovered that I LOVE having controlled lighting in a newborn session. And I love moving my light around instead of the beanbag to achieve those perfect shadows across an itty bitty face. She was the perfect model too– she slept like a baby! I definitely am convinced that doing these type of sessions in my own space is best. That huge beanbag doesn’t even fit in my car! I cannot wait to put hardwood in and paint. Then I can have bigger babies and kids have sessions in there when it is just too cold out.

Look at that face!

And her beautiful family. Isn’t her big sister GORGEOUS!?

Beveled Mounts: New Product| Northern VA Portrait Photographer

I printed Archie’s cake smash storyboard on a beveled gallery mount. The photo is sealed with laminate to wood. And it’s ready to hang!
I think they look amazing with storyboards and will be adding them to the store as an upgrade from the styrene mounted storyboards.

I chose the one time to try a portrait with Archie that he *didn’t* want to nurse! So here I am forcing him to sit with me for one second…(1/200 of a second). I thought I would get a beautiful nursing portrait. HA.

Oh well, he is still super cute.
