These two are no strangers to JNP. Big sister is a seasoned baby membership cutie, and little brother is following in her footsteps. There aren’t many things cuter than a baby sitting on a tiny bench. Rest assured, my assistant is always close by for the safety and well-being of your baby.

It was a beautiful evening in a gorgeous location with new JNP clients. I wasn’t sure this night could get much better…and then it did. It usually takes one person acting silly to pull genuine, authentic smiles out of each other! For that very reason, I love the image in the middle below.

One of my favorite things is seeing how proud older siblings are of their new title! You can see older brothers' and sisters’ excitement when it’s their turn to have a special job with their new best friend.

This was a unique session because this newborn client was on the older side of my “newborn sessions.” This family contacted me because they wanted a newborn session for their three-month-old son. I typically photograph newborns in their first two weeks of life, but I have successfully photographed older newborns many times before.

When this family came into the studio to map out Nina’s upcoming session, she gave me the sweetest smiles and was so content! For baby membership babies, I always use the same prop at each of their milestone sessions. This puts their growth into a teary-eyed perspective.

As stunning as black-and-white images of Iyari are, I had to give this dress its moment! Yvonne always brings special, meaningful, and traditional outfits for Iyari to wear during their family session. Their family session happened to take place right around Yvonne and Iyari's birthdays, so we had to have a little celebration—champagne for Mom and cupcakes for her daughter!

I love to experiment with lighting during maternity sessions. Dramatic studio lighting in black-and-white gives an image that “wow factor.” Jaxson is JNP’s newest baby membership baby, and I am so excited to see him grow throughout his first year! He was a dream to transition into the much-admired and ever-popular bucket pose.

It just so happened that their family was bringing home a new puppy the day before we had planned this family session. What better way to celebrate a new furry family member than with a family session?

This 7 lb. 8 oz. bundle of love came into the studio with his proud family. It is essential that you, as my clients, get any combination of family images you wish for. These, and many other newborn features, are the details you will want to remember exactly how they are in their first few weeks.

Anything for Mom!! That's what this blog's title should be. You know you’re doing something right as a parent when your kids offer to carry a couch into the middle of an open field for your photographer, which was much appreciated and 100% worth it.

The Chanda Family planned to have their family session at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., which was unique and fitting for them. My assistant and I like to arrive slightly early to sessions on location to get an idea of the best places to photograph, keeping lighting in mind.

Whether for your resume, a new business venture, social media, or even a dating profile (no judgment here), updating your professional headshots is always a good idea. These mini-sessions are designed to meet your unique needs and showcase your best self. If you have a vision, I would like to hear about it. I love working closely with my clients to achieve the exact look they are going for.
