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 Baby | Leesburg Virginia Baby Photographer

Posted in Babies

Today marked the first official session done at my new studio (photos coming soon!)! While it’s nowhere near perfect and done, it’s getting close and I couldn’t think of a better client to christen it than this sweet girl. I met Miss A back in September when I was about 9 months pregnant. She was one of the easiest newborns I’ve ever photographed and to make up for it, today she put up a good fight and then as soon as we were about to go outside for photos, it started raining. It all ended up beautifully with Miss A coming through like a champ and I’m super excited about having a dedicated space to work.

She has the most beautiful eyes!

And cutest smile.

N & W, it was wonderful seeing you all again today, thanks for making the trip to the studio!

Noah – 11 Days | Virginia Newborn Photographer

Posted in Newborns

I was so excited to meet Mr. Noah today on his 11th day of life, he is the baby brother to one of my favorite clients who I photographed when he was a newborn, 6 months, and 1 year His early arrival was so fast he was nearly born in the car, but they made it to the hospital right before he was delivered. I think he wanted to make sure he was here in time to catch the Caps in the Playoffs, Mom & Dad are season ticket holders and Noah has already gone to his first game at 3 days old!

Look at all of his red hair!

Noah was one of the sleepiest and bendiest newborns I’ve ever photographed, he was a dream!

Mom is a crazy talented knitter and made this hat, I would post her Etsy link but she’s on a break right now. I will share it when she’s back to knitting.

Big brotheer recently turned two, he’s gotten so big since the last time I saw him.

Congratulations again S family, it was so fun hanging out with you all today!

13 Day Old Beauty | Virginia Newborn Photographer

Posted in Newborns

This little girl was so much fun to photograph, not only is she one of the prettiest little newborns I’ve seen she was also so sleepy. I love it when I get to go all girly with my setups, it’s a nice change from my house of testosterone.

Isn’t she the cutest?!

The cutest little smile.

While I adore pink and lots of color I’m also so drawn to the simple images with no hats in black and white.

Congratulations J & T, your daughter is a doll and I enjoyed spending time with you all today!

A Home Run | Virginia Newborn Photographer

Posted in Newborns

In baseball the 4th hitter in the lineup is known as the cleanup hitter and is usually a position saved for the most powerful player as to hopefully get a grand slam home run. Sweet little Jackson is the 4th baby in this baseball loving family, and is a home run for sure.

He joins 3 older siblings who are equally as adorable and so well behaved and sweet.

(sweet when they aren’t smacking their brother in the face with a baseball bat, lol)

Mom looks this amazing 11 days after giving birth, I wish I knew her secret!

Little Jack, the perfect addition.

Congratulations again M & D, you have a beautiful family!!
