Ben - Alexandria Newborn Photographer

There are many elements of meeting new clients that are a mystery until I show up to their session - I discuss a lot of things with my clients, but sometimes you don't know how things will be until you meet.

One main thing with newborn sessions is the setting - they are almost always taken in the parents home and though I will bring my props to each session it is nice to have some things to use that are the clients as it makes the session a little more personal and unique.

When I pulled up to Lisa and Dan's house I wasn't sure what to expect - it was a beautiful old building in Old Town Alexandria - GORGEOUS - but who knew what laid inside. From the moment I walked in I knew this session was going to be amazing - not only did they have one of the cutest boys in the world, they had a super awesome old carriage type home with exposed brick, old beams, amazing furniture and tons of character. Ah-mazing.

So the wave of baby boys continues with Ben - he was such a sweetheart. He slept, was awake and was just plain adorable. His Mom and Dad had some of the cutest beanie hats for him to wear too. Super cute. He loved to be swaddled and warm - two things I could take care of and he was a happy camper :)

Lisa and Dan - thanks so much for asking me to come and capture memories of little Ben. It was such a pleasure to meet you all! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Andrew - Catonsville Newborn Photographer

Funny how I meet some of my clients some times...

The wonderful parents of this adorable little boy I met on Craigslist - that sounds odd yes, but let me explain. My family moved and we were looking to get new bedroom furniture and sell our old, while Laura and Jason were looking for a dresser for their little unborn baby's nursery and our dresser fit the bill. So they came over and picked up the dresser last summer and ended up contacting me for newborn photos :)

I have to say I was so excited to hear from them, as the sex of their baby was a surprise and I really wanted to know what they had!! And they had this adorable little guy...Andrew. He is perfect and he has the biggest most expressive eyes I have seen on a newborn. Simply stunning. He was an angel throughout his entire photo session too - just taking it all in.

Laura and Jason - thanks so much for asking me to photograph Andrew :) And the dresser looks AWESOME! Congrats on your little guy and enjoy your sneak peek!!
