Little Moon Photography | Blog

About the Artist:

I am completely inspired by babies and children. I find everything about their young lives to be so beautiful, whether it be a newborn's wrinkled and flaky new skin or a toddler’s first wobbly steps. Gummy smiles and belly laughs make my heart soar and I feel so blessed to be able to capture all of these fleeting moments for my clients.

I specialize modern, fine art newborn & baby photography. 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.

Inspired by our nightly ritual of reading "Goodnight Moon" to our son Carter, the name Little Moon Photography was born.

Beautiful Emme | Eastern Shore Maryland Newborn Photographer

Today I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Emme, she came all the way from Philadelphia, PA for our session today on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. She is the baby of my Step-Mom’s niece and we have had this session planned for months and months. I was SO happy to meet Emme and see all of her family again. She was an absolute DREAM baby, slept so well and gave me non-stop smiles.

A few of many favs, I’m exhausted tonight from 4 hours of driving today but will share even more later.

How pretty is she?

She smiled the entire time she was in this basket.

My Dad went out and picked a few cherry blossom branches off one of the trees on the farm for this shot.

Miss K, motherhood definitely suits you, you look beautiful!

Sweet little strawberry.

So great seeing you all today, Miss Emme is absolute perfection.

SO Big! | Virginia Twin Baby Photographer

Posted in Babies, Bigger Kids, Sneak Peek

Remember these adorable twin newborns? They are now 9 months old, crawling and pulling up on everything! They are all over the place and such little sweeties. Today we met up at one of my favorite “indoor but looks like outdoor” locations in the DC area to capture how big they have gotten.

A few of many favorites!

S, who was a few pounds bigger than his sister at birth, is still a big boy! He’s also so sweet and snugly I wanted to bring him home with me.

And beautiful A who has the most adorable little curls on the top of her head.

This shot is nothing short of a miracle. If you’ve ever shot babies & toddlers you know how hard it is to get two 9 month olds and a 3 year old to all smile and look at you at the same time. Big Sister H is still the best sister ever and was extra sweet today.

This is such a fun age but once they are mobile you have to come up with tricks to get them to stay in one place for a short bit. This little dude is seriously SO happy and laid back.

SO freaking cute, look at that adorable dress! Mom is also a big fan of www.etsy.com like I am.

P Family, it was great seeing you all again today, hope you enjoyed your long awaited sneak peek.

Beautiful | Virginia Child & Family Photographer

Posted in Bigger Kids, Sneak Peek

That’s the one word I that I can’t get out of my head tonight, I spent a beautiful Sunday morning with two beautiful children. We have been SO lucky that this weekend has been absolutely gorgeous and warm unlike last weekends rainout. I had so much fun with these super well-behaved kids finding the beauty in all that surrounds us.

A few favorites!

I want to bottle up this light and marry it. This was shot at f/1.2 with my 85 and I pretty much love it.

How adorable is this cool dude?

This child is STUNNING and such a sweetheart too.

Cute Mr. N.

These two have a playground INSIDE their house and the coolest rooms I’ve EVER seen. Dad owns this super cool company that designs & builds dream rooms for kids. I was seriously blown away by his work!

J family, it was so nice to meet you finally, you really have a beautiful and awesome family!

Tiny & New | Virginia Newborn Photographer

Posted in Bigger Kids, Families, Newborns, Sneak Peek

This little guy arrived 10 days ago and was one of the sweetest, tiniest newborns I’ve had in a while. He weighed in at about 5.5 pounds and was such a great little sport for us today. When Mom said that she’d love to get a shot of J in Daddy’s Steelers helmet I knew he’d be a perfect fit.

I love how they’ll have this as a reference as to how small he really was because they get big FAST!
