When Dominic’s mama emailed me, I was so excited to learn that they are neighbors of mine! I’m not sure you can shop local more than that. When we talked for their pre-session planning chat, mom’s request was that we focus on family, his tiny details, and incorporate big sister into photos. I absolutely loved watching Dominic’s sister dote on him. It was also really fun to pose him with his older sister.
I have to say with complete certainty that one of the risks of my job is removing baby diapers. Dominic decided that he should remind his dad and I that we should know better right at the beginning of his session. Poop just wipes right off, right? We had a pretty good initiation and then learned that we should put the diaper back on this little man. Thanks to his papa for being such a good sport. .He didn’t even wince.
Enjoy the photos of this snuggly cutie and his family.

If you are looking for a newborn photographer in the Northern Virginia area, I would love to work with you. Posed newborn photos are taken at my in-home studio in Sterling, VA when your baby is between 6-14 days old. It is important to book your newborn session at the beginning of your third trimester, sooner if you are planning to also have maternity photos taken. I am currently booking newborn sessions for January, February, March and April 2017 due dates. Please contact me for specific availability.
