Washington DC Maternity Session

I met Courtney at a photography workshop we both attended. She was quiet and so gentle-always smiling. We slipped upstairs for some quiet and I had the privilege of taking a few maternity images for her. I love how simple these frames turned out. A beautiful mama, a sweet baby bump, and an old window.

Winter Maternity Session at The Library of Congress |Washington, DC Maternity Photographer

I enjoy winter newborn sessions so much! It feels extra cozy with a newborn and for this session we even had Christmas lights. Little Charlotte was so relaxed and sleepy for her entire session.
