Wife, mom, artist, and full-time chaos wrangler with a camera in one hand and snacks in the other. I live for the real stuff—belly laughs, big feelings, chipped nail polish, and quiet light that sneaks through the window just right.
This work is how I see the world…
and how I love it back.
The first days with a newborn are not polished.
They are quiet and strange and tender.
They are milk-drunk afternoons and wide-awake nights.
They are hands learning how to hold something impossibly precious.

As a newborn photographer in Loudoun County, Virginia, I don’t come looking for perfection. I come looking for presence. For proof that you were here—together—exactly like this.
This is lifestyle newborn photography, rooted in real life, real love, and the deep knowing that these days pass far too quickly.

Northern Virginia families live full, layered lives. We move fast. We juggle work, family, and community. And then—suddenly—everything slows.
A newborn arrives, and time shifts.
My work as a Northern Virginia newborn photographer is about honoring that shift. Whether you’re welcoming your baby in Purcellville, Leesburg, Middleburg, Ashburn, or elsewhere in Loudoun County, these sessions are designed to meet you where you are—physically, emotionally, and gently.
No rushing.
No rigid expectations.
Just space to breathe.

Lifestyle newborn photography is calm, natural, and deeply personal. It takes place in your home—the space that already knows your rhythms, your light, your life.
Instead of posed setups and studio props, lifestyle sessions focus on:
Your baby doesn’t need to sleep on schedule. You don’t need to “perform.” These sessions unfold slowly, allowing room for feeding, rocking, changing, and simply being together.
This approach is especially meaningful for families in Loudoun County and Northern Virginia who want newborn photos that feel honest and timeless—not staged or rushed.

Welcoming a baby is vulnerable work. Your body is healing. Your heart is expanding. The last thing you need is pressure.
That’s why my newborn photography experience is intentionally high-touch and deeply supportive.
From the moment you inquire, you’re guided through every step:
This isn’t just about beautiful images—it’s about care. About being seen and held in a season that can feel overwhelming, tender, and fleeting all at once.

There is something powerful about documenting this season in the place where it’s actually happening.
In-home newborn photography allows you to:
For families across Loudoun County, in-home sessions remove stress and create space for authenticity. One day, you’ll look back and notice the way the light fell through your windows, the chair you rocked in, the quiet corners that held so much love.
These images become more than photos—they become memory keepers.

Proof of Life is the quiet evidence that you existed in this moment.
It’s the curve of your baby’s fingers around yours.
The tired joy in your eyes.
The way your home holds your growing family.
This philosophy guides every newborn session I photograph. I’m not here to manufacture moments—I’m here to witness them. To document the truth of your beginning together, exactly as it unfolds.
Because one day, these details will matter more than you can imagine.

If you’re expecting, the best time to book your newborn photographer in Northern Virginia is during your second or early third trimester. This allows space for planning while still offering flexibility once your baby arrives.
Lifestyle newborn sessions are typically scheduled within the first few weeks at home, but there’s no rigid window. Whether your baby is five days old or five weeks old, the story is still worth telling.
There is no “too late” for proof of life.

I am honored to serve families throughout Loudoun County, including Purcellville, Leesburg, Middleburg, and Ashburn, as well as the greater Northern Virginia area.
These sessions are for families who value:
If that resonates, you’re in the right place.

If you’re looking for newborn photography in Loudoun County, VA that feels calm, intentional, and deeply human, I would be honored to tell this part of your story.
This is the beginning.
This is proof of life.
And it deserves to be remembered.
