A & M | Northern Virginia maternity photographer

For Andi & Misha’s half baked (there’s a baby in that cute lil belly!) session, I told them I wanted them to exist. Not pose. Just exist. Photos come off so natural when you just connect with each other vs be posed into everything. It’s my job to tell you what to do and I do have clients where every single photo I have posed them down to the hands lol. But if you go into your session prepared to just exist and do things naturally, I do think the results can be better! 🤍🫶🏻 if you want an “exist” […]

Doing those things will never get your child to stand & smile anyway. They […]

It was one of the worst moments in my entire career as a photographer! I frantically text my husband and he found me a back up location. We only had 20 min to do their session and the photos somehow turned out amazing, but I still felt horrible mama didn’t get to change into this outfit with her bump out! I then travelled to Los Angeles for photoshoots, and begged […]
