Meet the most cooperative children in the world. Avery was the proudest big sister and was so happy to comply with all of my requests. I love this first sister image so much that I actually have it hanging in my studio. Smiles all around!

Working with newborns requires a bit of flexibility before, during, and even after the photoshoot.  Take little Luke, for example.  When he decided to come 3 weeks early—much to Mom and Dad’s delight—we quickly moved things around to welcome him at the JNP Studio.  He surprised everyone at 37 weeks, but fortunately, made his debut as a healthy, happy newborn!  

While most of the newborn sessions at the JNP Studio feature Mom and Dad in some way, the Doudt family brought a surprise when they came to see me last April.  Baby Audrey, at 13 days old, was accompanied by her older brother, Wyatt, her parents, and even her grandmother!  Before the day was over, we were able to capture these really special images with three generations of women in this family.

When one of your oldest friends has a baby, how do you find time to catch up? Recently, I had the rare privilege of mixing my personal and professional lives thanks to this handsome guy! On top of photographing newborn Camden, I also got to share the joy of this perfect baby with parents Carly and Conor.

Believe it or not, Jaxon was only 13 days old when he first came to the JNP Studio! The Baker family was looking for a newborn photographer close to their Frederick home and, luckily, they chose me. I was happy to welcome the trio this past August for what turned out to be an extraordinary experience.
