Northern Virginia Baby Photographer
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!

THE
EXPERIENCE
HOW IT WORKS
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.

Northern Virginia Baby Photographer FAQs
What is a sitter session and when should I book it for?
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 on their own without toppling over. This milestone is usually reached between 6-9 months old.
When should I book my baby’s One year milestone session?
If you want 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 ordering appointment.
What should my baby wear for their milestone session?
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 2 outfits for baby to wear during their session.
Do you provide the cake for the cake smash?
Yes! I offer a minimal cake smash as an add on to a first year milestone session. You have your choice of a pink rosette, blue palette knife or naked cake. The cakes are made by a local baker who can accomadate for allergies, they are beautiful and delicious!
DEAR laura,
Incredibly honored to have 3 photos featured in the summer edition of @thekindredpath magazine including the cover photo 🤍🤍🤍 @kaylamariphotography along with @marie.elizabeth.photo and @beatificvisionsphotography work SO hard to put together a gorgeous print magazine twice a year to celebrate motherhood and family photographers! I’m so grateful to them, seeing your photos in tangible print never gets old!
I’m very delayed in sharing this beauty because August was a month of a lot of change and extreme highs and lows for our family 🤍 All in the same breath we unexpectedly lost our beloved dog 💔 and moved into our dream home ✨ Sprinkle in some travel and the start of the school year, I’m glad to now be feeling back to a more normal routine!
All the while I’ve been meeting and photographing lots of families and new babies - I can’t wait to share more!
Last night kicked off my fall busy season. I’m looking forward to seeing and photographing so many of you over the next 2 months before my maternity leave starts in November!

soft light, sweet snuggles, and the start of something beautiful 🍼✨
