Baby Jay 11 Days was welcomed into the world in October 2020. What a year to be alive, am I right? In the midst of a crazy year, life is still happening. Baby Jay came into the studio at 11 days new. Her parents drove from Northern Virginia to have me capture their little princess […]

What’s the best way you can tell a photographer you love their work other than referrals? Coming back over and over again! I’m so happy I was able to photograph Kaelyn Emelia 9 Days. I photographed her big brother’s newborn portraits and his 1st year portraits. When they left the session from her brother’s 1st […]

Hello world, meet Stevie! Right when COVID-19 basically shut down our entire world around March 2020, Clarise called me to let me know she was expecting in July! I couldn’t wait to photograph her baby. I remember chatting with her thinking that in July, by the time her baby came, the virus would be long […]

Ever since becoming a mom, I have a brand new appreciation for lifestyle sessions. I absolutely adore them!! A new mom spends so much time at home with her precious new baby so what’s not to love about all the snuggles and cuddles?! Capturing these precious memories forever has my heart! I had the honor […]

Hello world. Meet Alexandria Grace Botta!! Photographing my own newborn is a moment I’ll never forget. I teared up a little when I photographed her at 4 days new because I just couldn’t believe she was mine and I was photographing MY baby. I’ve photographed countless newborns so this was extra special. I photographed Ally several […]

I love seeing Noa every 3 months! She’s the prettiest little thing and I am fully obsessed with her hair. For Noa’s 9 Month Milestone session, we decided to do something a little different and do a strawberry milk bath session! It’s summer after all and what better way to celebrate your 9 month milestone […]

Nora is such a hoot! She had the most beautiful pinwheel cake from Angel’s bakeshop and her mom got creative and made her fun gold pinwheels! Little miss had other plans. Instead of eating her cake she was much more interested in smashing it and painting the icing all over her legs. Every so often […]

Great Marsh Estate is the prettiest wedding venue I’ve ever been to so I love that Hana and I were able to swap maternity and mommy and me sessions in July. Click here to see the maternity images she photographed. We were extremely lucky with cooler temps and didn’t have to photograph each other in […]

It’s not everyday you get to photograph your niece! This miracle had so much prayer over her even before she was born. The Botta family waited and waited for this blessing to happen and we are so unbelievably grateful she is here and healthy. 10 Day Brooke Isabelle was born July 1st and weighed about 6.5 […]

Blogging this session is so surreal to me! Through this pregnancy, I’ve often stopped and thought, “Is this really happening? Is this a dream? Am I really pregnant?” During my baby shower I stopped several times because I couldn’t believe it was real. It’s the most magical feeling! I’ve been so blessed that this pregnancy […]

A few weeks back, I tried my hand at creating a balloon garland! It’s something I had been wanting to try and thought creating a balloon garland for my baby shower would be the perfect opportunity. It was easy to do, looked fantastic, and I didn’t want to get rid of it. I told my […]

Hello Third Trimester!! It’s hard to believe how fast the last 6 months have flown by. Today is my 29th birthday and I’m now 8 months! I still can’t wrap my head around this being a mom thing. I know I’ll be good at it though. Cheers to the last year of my 20’s!! Here are […]

My family knows I’m slightly obsessed with the Town of Occoquan. Anytime visitors come, I want to go to Occoquan so it’s no surprise that I’m slightly obsessed with this Occoquan maternity session. When Ruth’s inquiry came in, I didn’t know if it was going to be possible to schedule her maternity session so last […]

Over the weekend, my sisters and mom hosted the first ever event in my home of 4 years! Baby Ally’s Baby Shower! What more special of an event than a baby shower celebrating Baby Ally? The day felt like a dream and multiple times, I stopped what I was doing in disbelief that this was […]

This doll is 9 months old! Nora can be so shy but when she smiles she smiles so big it makes my heart melt!! I’m so excited I was able to catch her big smiles and personality since she’s getting more and more used to seeing me. Her mom and I are already planning her […]
