Tre, Bebe Coterie Portraits, Family Affair of Photography | Northern VA Newborn Photographer

Sweet, little man Tré was lovely to photograph! As a newborn photographer in Herndon, VA, we love photographing babies like Tré, along with his parents, Donald and Tarsha, and his big sister. This was more than a newborn portrait session for us, though. This was personal! We have been documenting their family since Donald and Tarsha got engaged. Talk about a family affair!

We love being a family photographer who also specializes in baby photography because we have the opportunity to get to know our clients. Capturing various milestones in their lives is so fulfilling for us. We enjoy building a relationship with the client through the years and witnessing the growth and changes typical of a family. Better yet, we get to document their lives and their love for each other.

Donald and Tarsha come to us for their engagement, wedding, and maternity Wall Art and have also invested in our fine art albums for their portraits. Ever After has been an important part of telling their family’s story, and it is an honor for us to know that our work resides in their family home and will for future generations to enjoy.

For their Bebe Coterie Wall Art documenting Tré’s first year milestones, Donald and Tarsha selected the Contemporary Steel Finish. It’s a metal finish that offers a sleek modern look and is the perfect finish for the vibrant portraits of this little guy! This look also worked perfectly with their home’s decor. (We offer various styles of framed and frameless wall art, as well as other products, to meet diverse tastes and budgets.) To see other products Donald and Tarsha chose, click here to see Tré’s Bebe Coterie Gallery!

Families like theirs make being a family and newborn photographer in the Herndon, VA area a true pleasure!

Gavin’s First Year Bebe Coterie Gallery | Northern VA Baby Photographer

As a Herndon, VA & Reston, VA newborn photographer, we know that a portrait session can be the start of something great! There is so much you can do with the portraits from your portrait session – especially if you choose our First-Year Bebe Coterie Plan.

Our clients, Julie and Chris, made the most of their Bebe Coterie portraits starting with a birth announcement using a picture from their newborn session. Gavin was the perfect little star! You can click through Gavin’s Bebe Coterie portraits here and see how wonderful they turned out. They also opted for several products including a fine-art quality album.

Newborn Session
Your Bebe Coterie series begins with newborn portraits taken during the baby’s first eight days of life. Gavin’s parents selected some poignant portraits which were their first professional family pictures in front of our cameras. They also selected one of those portraits for their birth announcement!

Beginnings Session
We next see a Bebe Coterie client during the baby’s 6 to 8 months when they can sit on their own. Gavin was an adorable little man in his shirt, tie, and hat for his Beginnings Session. His session was as fun and joyful as the pictures reflect! Smiles all around!

Freedom Session
Once a baby is standing on his or her own or even walking, we love to include the entire family in the Freedom Session. Baby photography during this session can be loads of fun as we capture your little angel and his new found freedom walking or, in some cases, running!

At the end of Gavin’s Bebe Coterie year, his parents chose a Legacy Album to chronicle their beautiful son’s first year of life. This fine-art quality album will protect Gavin’s portraits and display them beautifully starting with his newborn pictures. We offer our clients a variety of archival-quality products including framed and frameless portraits, albums, and announcements.

If you’d like to learn more about the products we offer, we invite you to browse our website and contact our studio. We are always available to answer your questions about how we can collaborate with you to capture ideal portraits you’ll treasure for decades!

Twin Girls – Double the Fun!  | Northern VA Baby Photographer

Twin Girls – Double the Fun! | Northern VA Baby Photographer

As a newborn photographer in the Herndon, VA area, we love to see how our clients display their finished artwork in their homes or offices! There is a strong sense of pride for us in seeing our work presented so lovingly in someone’s home. So, seeing how the Shivers Family displayed their gorgeous twin girls’ portraits was love times two!

The Shivers invested in our Bebe Coterie Plan allowing us to photograph these little dolls throughout their first-year milestones. You can click here to see how the Shivers family displayed their beautiful art in their home. If you look carefully at the portraits displayed on their walls, you will see how much the girls grew that first year! Ashley and Gary selected an Ice Finish because it works so perfectly with their home’s clean lines and for showcasing the girls’ vibrant pictures.

They also chose a beautiful Portrait Box for all of the other portraits they loved from the girls’ sessions throughout the year. After all, not every single portrait they loved would fit on the wall!

Post-Production
After you finish your photo session, our work continues. Baby photography – all professional photography actually – requires time in post-production. We will pour through the many pictures we took during your session and edit as necessary. We pick the portraits very carefully and deliberately with an expert eye. Those are not necessarily your final product. Those are the portraits we will present for you to review. Several days later, you can select the ones you would like to have made into art for your home.

Products
As a high-quality, fine art photographer, we only offer museum-rated and high caliber products. Our products are rated to last approximately 100+ years. Your children’s children will be able to enjoy these baby portraits many years from now!

Preview
When you’re selecting your portraits, there is no need to guess how they might look in your home. There’s also no showing up with a framed portrait for the wall you had picked out only to find out it’s way too large for that wall! We use an interior design software program that allows us to show you how a portrait will look on a wall in your home – before you even purchase it!

If you would like to work with a trusted and reputable Herndon, VA area newborn photographer, call our offices to schedule your sweet baby’s portrait session. We would love to meet you and your child!

Storytelling in Baby Portraits | Northern VA Baby Photographer

Storytelling in Baby Portraits | Northern VA Baby Photographer

Storytelling in Baby Portraits | Northern VA Baby Photographer

They say that great things come in small packages. It’s certainly true when it comes to babies and baby pictures! As a mother and daughter photography team in the Reston, VA area, we believe that portraits, especially baby portraits, are an important form of storytelling. Photographs create a visual documentation of your child’s life from their earliest days.

What really is Baby Photography?
Baby photography is a way to stop time. It is a visual record of your child’s earliest years. It can begin as soon as your baby’s first seven days of life when they’re still curled up and sleepy as if still in the womb. These newborn portraits are priceless and are best followed with regular professional pictures straight through the toddler years and into childhood.

What Baby Photography Can Do
Portraits are more than pictures or images. As skilled baby photographers, we know that baby portraits are a poignant and treasured record of your child. Baby and children’s portraits visually tell the story of your child’s life.

You will enjoy your baby pictures now, but you will treasure them most years from now – long past your child’s earliest years. One day, when your baby is an adult, you will look at those portraits and lovingly reflect back on those long-past days.

How We Create Stories through Photography
We get to know our clients, and we take our time during their portrait sessions. Understanding our clients is critical to building a relationship with them, yes, even the tiniest ones. It’s also important to us that you and your baby or child feel comfortable and relaxed during your portrait session. If the chemistry is there between the subject and the photographer, the photo will reflect that. The results are profound and memorable.

We also care about our clients. Caring about them allows us to see them better for who they are. When it is a child or a baby, taking our time with them makes it possible to bond and accurately capture them through our portraits. Why would you want baby pictures to do anything else?

We like to think that if we do our job well we can peek inside our client’s personality and then convey that in portraiture, including baby pictures. As a Reston, VA area photographer, we absolutely love helping you tell the story of your child’s life through our poignant imagery.

What should your baby wear for his/her Portrait Session? | Northern VA Baby Photographer

What should your baby wear for his/her Portrait Session? | Northern VA Baby Photographer

What should your baby wear for his/her Portrait Session? | Northern VA Baby Photographer

Imagine this scenario for a moment: You have (wisely) reserved your date with us at Ever After, a leading Dulles, VA child photographer. You are excited and looking forward to your baby’s portraits. But, as you think about your bundle of joy’s first professional pictures, you begin to wonder about outfits, and then it hits you! What should your baby wear for their portrait session?! Don’t worry! As an Ever After client, we will provide you with plenty of information before your session, including on clothing, and we are always available to answer your questions.

Before your baby’s Portrait Session, we will have a Design Session during which we’ll discuss, among other things, clothing choices. Sometimes a certain clothing choice will be recommended due to the style of your home or the room in which you intend to display your child’s portrait. But you are always welcome to select any outfit you like for your baby’s portrait session. It can be anything you want and, obviously, what they wear will depend on their age. Even so, as a Northern Virginia newborn photographer we want to offer some tips for you and other parents to consider when thinking about photo session outfits for a baby.

Newborns
Options include photographing them nude. Holding your tiny newborn in your arms like this makes for a truly classic and beautiful first portrait! (Be assured that we’re discreet when taking these photographs of your newborn; nothing inappropriate will be captured.) Adding a soft blanket and accessories such as a knitted hat or stuffed animal or doll can add depth to the portrait. Heirloom toys, like a parent’s childhood teddy bear can be especially priceless to include in a baby portrait.

Older Babies
Although babies can wear any outfit you like for their pictures, it’s always a good idea to discuss the outfits you plan on using with the photographer. For example, we usually recommend fabrics with little or no patterns. Ideally, easy on and off pieces work better. Depending on the style you are going for, clothes can either be pastel for a softer look or bright and bold for a more casual, fun look.

Comfort
The outfit needs to be comfortable. You should wash new clothes before putting them on the baby. Otherwise, it might be scratchy and uncomfortable. The last thing anyone wants is an uncomfortable and unhappy child during their portrait session.

Wear it once
We also recommend the baby wears an outfit at least once before the session so that you can get an idea of how he or she reacts to it. They don’t have to wear it for long; just long enough so that you are pretty confident that they are comfortable and it fits well.

Bring multiple outfits
While changing a baby’s outfit can take time away from taking pictures, it’s always good to bring two other outfits just in case. Spit-ups happen, as do diaper leaks!

As a Dulles, VA area child photographer, we have been taking newborn and baby portraits for almost two decades. We have the experience you should look for in a photographer before you let them handle your child and take their picture. We are committed to producing portraits worthy of being called fine art for you and your family.

Babies of the Week, Twin Girls! | Northern VA Baby Photographer

Babies of the Week, Twin Girls! | Northern VA Baby Photographer

Our image of the week is portrait of a gorgeous set of twin girls, McKenzie and Kennedy! We love baby photography, and as a baby photographer in Cascades, VA, we meet a lot of new parents. For new parents Ashley and Gary, no daddy could be more proud, and no mommy could be more joyous. Their twin girls were a blessing and a joy!

This portrait was taken when the girls were around nine months old. These little ladies are rarely still, but in this portrait we caught the solemnity right before their joyous energy came bounding back. Ashley’s choice of white dresses with gold polka dots was perfect for her girls, making our antique golden sofa a great choice for their portrait.
