Little Moon Blog bio picture

Welcome!!

Welcome to the shiny new blog for Little Moon Photography! I will be updating it often with sneak peeks from new sessions, new product offerings and exciting contests.

Just a little bit about me. First and foremost, I'm a Mom to a crazy, adorable toddler and I believe this is what makes me a better photographer. He inspires me daily and helps me see the beauty in everything, big and small. I'm able to connect and understand my subjects and capture the true emotions of growing up, bonding as a family, celebrating a milestone, or expecting a miracle. I specialize in natural light, modern, custom portraiture. I love what I do and it shows in every photo I take.

My style is very organic and natural, you'll never hear me utter the words "say cheese". I'm also very flexible and will try to work with you to get the best results. You will walk away from a session with me with unique and original photos that will be treasured forever.

Enjoy my blog and feel free to head on over to my website and drop me a line to set up a session. Thanks!

A Newborn Twin Session Slideshow | Northern Virginia Newborn Twin Photographer

I haven’t shared one of these in a while but figured I’d share this amazing session with 10 day old newborn twins. I posted the sneak peek a few weeks back but figured I’d come back and share the whole session. :-)

Just a quick administrative note, please don’t fret when you see no action on the blog for the next week. I’m headed out of town to the beach for the holiday. I hope you all enjoy the long weekend!!

Big Boy! | Northern Virginia Baby Photographer

Ahhh, where has time gone? This little guy is already 7 months old! I was so excited for this session because last time Dad was out of the country and this time he is back home so some great family shots were a MUST do today. I’m amazed that little M is already pulling up, standing, and crawling. To top it off he’s SO, SO freaking cute!

Here are some favs from our little jaunt through Old Town, Alexandria this afternoon.

His little grin is seriously the sweetest thing.

E & J, your son is a doll! It was so good seeing you again today! :-)

Firecracker | Northern Virginia Child Photographer

Little Miss C kept me on my toes today. She is SO much like my Carter I felt like I was at home during our session. C loved running around and around and around but did sit for a few photos. She has the most beautiful dark brown eyes, I love how dark eyes photograph, they reflect the light so nicely.

Here are a few favorites!

LOVE the colors in this one.

We asked C to sit down and this is what we got, this one cracks me up but i love it.

L family, you guys are awesome, hope you enjoyed your sneak peek!

Little Beauty | Northern Virginia Baby Photographer

Remember this little beauty? Well she’s 9 months old now! We had a blast out at Meadowlark Park today and Miss R. was so smiley and happy for the camera. She’s at that fun age where she’s pulling up on everything and it makes for such cute portraits.

Ages 6-12 months are seriously the PERFECT age for a photo shoot, babies are so smiley and can’t run away from the camera like toddlers. :-)

Here are some favorites!

R’s Mom found what might be the cutest dress EVER on etsy…

S & K, it was great catching up with you all again today. Miss R is seriously a doll, have an awesome vacation!

Day 16 | Northern Virginia Newborn Photographer

Lots of newborns around here lately, have you noticed?

I’m still playing catch up from my vacation a few weeks ago. I had quite a few clients that were due while I was gone and right when I got back and this one just couldn’t wait until his due date. Sweet little S kept me on my toes and my washing machine busy. He would give me the sweetest little smile and then would proceed to go number two on my blankets. The smile was worth it though and I think Mom and Dad would agree since they drove 3 hours to have a session with me, I love a dedicated client. :-)

Here are just a few favorites…

The infamous smile before the storm:

Brand New Times Two | Northern Virginia Newborn Twin Photographer

These two bundles of joy were only 10 days old for our session today. They join an absolutely amazing family including a sweet and loving three year old sister. I had SO much fun photographing these beautiful babies today, it was a lot of work but so worth it. :-)

Some favorites…

Miss A was nearly two pounds smaller than her twin brother S, she had no problems cuddling right onto her brother here:

I LOVE it when twins do the same poses, how cute is this?
48

Big Sis H just had her 3rd Birthday and has one of the coolest rooms I’ve ever seemed. Made me want to be a little girl all over again.

A basket full of sleeping babies al naturale outside, makes for a beautiful portrait.

Day 14 | Northern Virginia Newborn Photographer

Welcome to the world sweet baby E! This pretty little girl was so content and calm even when she was awake. She loved being close to her Mama and her big brother is so proud of his new baby sister. Here are a few favorites from today…

Look at that wittle smile!

Congratulations you guys, your baby girl is the perfect addition to your beautiful family!

Beautiful Bump | Northern Virginia Maternity Photographer

These two gorgeous parents-to-be are expecting a baby girl in just a few short weeks. Miss K has quite possibly the most perfect belly I’ve ever seen, she’s one of those lucky girls that only grows a belly and nowhere else. Judging by her parents, this is going to be one beautiful baby girl.

This might be a new favorite of mine. :-)

Awww, aren’t they adorable?!

Big Blue Eyes | Washington DC Baby Photographer

I know I say this all the time but I LOVE 6 month olds and could shoot this age all day, every day. This little guy was no different, Mr. J has the most beautiful blue eyes and the cutest gummy smile. He just learned how to sit up and was showing off that milestone to me today. Here are some favorites!

I LOVE how timeless and classic this image looks with the outfit he’s wearing and the black and white.

Look at those tushie dimples?!

Glowing & Gorgeous | Northern Virginia Maternity Photographer

You know when you meet two people and you can instantly feel the love between them? I met such a couple today. S & P are expecting a baby girl in a few weeks and not only are they both beautiful people inside and out but they are so in love that it made me smile. I had such a fun time capturing her glowing beauty today, here are a few favs for their sneak peek!

I can already tell this man is going to be smitten by his little girl. :-)
