Simple, Timeless heirlooms
Just like the newborn stage, your baby's first year of life is fleeting and filled with so much change! Your baby will grow and develop faster in their first year than any other time in childhood. You don't want to miss the opportunity to capture their milestones. You can never get this special time back, but you can preserve
it to cherish forever through photography.
I offer 2 types of baby milestone sessions, Sitter Sessions (6-9 months when your baby can sit independently) and One Year Sessions (just before your baby's first birthday). Milestone Sessions are 1 hour in length and take place in-studio or outdoors. You will have access to my studio wardrobe and a list of preferred hair and makeup artists for a full-service, luxury experience.
Following our session together, we will meet again virtually for your gallery
reveal ordering appointment. My job is not complete until you have something
to show for your experience. Whether you choose a custom gallery wall to
enjoy everyday or a heirloom album to pass down to your kids,
I am here to help you preserve your family's memories!

As your Northern Virginia Baby Photographer my careful attention to detail from booking to the delivery
of your gallery makes your portrait session a relaxed, enjoyable experience. As a mom to a young baby,
you have enough to worry about. My goal is to make sure that all of your questions are answered and
all of the details are ironed out well before your baby arrives, so you can look forward to your
session with excited anticipation.
Once you book your session, we will schedule your virtual planning call. We will hop on zoom to discuss
your vision for your session. We will decide things like when and where the session will take place
and address any questions or concerns you may have. Then comes the fun part... we will style your
session using my studio wardrobe for mom and baby and a style board for the rest of your family.
All the work is done for you, you will have the session of your dreams and all that's left for you to
do is get glammed up and enjoy the session with your baby!
During your session I will use a series of gentle guided poses and relaxed direction. This will allow
for natural connection and interaction. We follow your baby's lead and make sure all of their needs
are met and they are kept happy throughout the session. All immediate family members are
encouraged to participate in the session to capture your family's memories!
Sessions are reserved with a $395 non-refundable creative fee. The creative fee covers
the session time, the virtual planning appointment and access to my studio wardrobe.
Digital files and artwork are sold separately at your gallery reveal ordering appointment!
Please get in touch for more detailed investment information.
the VERY latest from
the blog
A Sitter Session is a milestone session when your baby is sitting up on their own. Ideally, you would schedule a sitter session for when your baby can easily and happily sit up unassisted without toppling over. This milestone is usually reached between 6-9 months old.
If you would like to have your photos back by your baby’s first birthday I suggest booking the session at least 3 weeks prior to their birthday. I finish editing your gallery within 2 weeks, but you want a little wiggle room to fit in your gallery reveal and ordering appointment.
My client closet includes options for baby as well as mom! During our virtual planning call I will show you the options and you can pick out up to 2 outfits for baby to wear during their session.
Yes! I offer a minimal cake smash as an add on to a first year milestone session as well as a petite milestone session which includes a cake smash. I provide a simple vanilla cake that smashes well!
DEAR laura,

like a fairytale 💫 family magic in the rose garden 🥰

Getting ready to welcome another little one into the studio for a heirloom portrait session this morning 🤍
Families are falling in love with the simplicity and timelessness of heirloom portraits. No props, no distractions. Just beautiful portraits of your children exactly as they are in this fleeting season of childhood.
These are the images that deserve a place on your walls and in your family’s story for generations to come. ✨

One year of tiny fingers wrapped around yours, sleepy snuggles, first smiles, belly laughs, wobbly steps, and watching her personality bloom a little more each day 💗
The first year is a collection of moments that feel endless while you’re living them, yet somehow pass in the blink of an eye. Before you know it, the tiny baby you brought home from the hospital is a curious little girl reaching for flowers, exploring the world, and filling every corner of your heart 🌸
What a joy it’s been to document this beautiful family through their baby girl’s first year ✨
