The tiny days, the big year.

Newborn & First Year

In-home newborn sessions and first-year milestone bundles across the DMV.

Newborn sessions are quiet, slow, and built entirely around the baby. I shoot in your home so the baby stays in their own space and you don't have to pack the world into a diaper bag — natural light, simple wraps, and plenty of feeding and snuggle breaks.

If you want to document more than just the first weeks, the First Year Bundle covers newborn, 6-month sitter session, and the 1-year cake-smash so you have a single cohesive set of photos at the end of year one — all edited in the same style so they look like a series, not three random shoots.

Sibling and parent shots are always welcome — pick the package that fits the chapter you're in.

Booked a maternity session with me? You'll get a discounted rate on any newborn or first-year package — ask when you book. If you'd rather mark the 1st birthday with a full party instead of the cake-smash mini, Family Celebrations has documentary event coverage built for it.

Frequently asked

How much does newborn photography cost in the DMV area?

A standalone in-home newborn session is $525 for 2 hours. If you'd like to capture the whole first year, the First Year Bundle is $1,400 and includes three sessions — newborn, 6-month, and 1-year cake smash — with interest-free payments split across each session.

Do you come to our home for newborn photos?

Yes — all newborn sessions are in-home so your baby stays comfortable in their own space. I use natural light from your windows and bring simple wraps and props. No packing up the diaper bag required.

When should we schedule a newborn photo session?

The sweet spot is within the first two weeks, when babies are sleepiest and most curl-able. That said, I keep sessions slow and flexible with plenty of feeding and snuggle breaks, so don't stress about hitting an exact window.

What is the First Year Bundle and how does the payment plan work?

The First Year Bundle ($1,400) covers three sessions across your baby's first year: newborn, 6-month sitter, and 1-year cake smash. It's split into three interest-free payments — one at each session — so you're never paying for the whole thing up front.
