I went to high school with the dad of this brand new, sweet baby girl. His wonderful sister, who I also knew at school and photograph regularly, bought them a newborn session gift certificate for their baby shower. A gift that lasts longer than anything else on a baby registry could! I know this adorable family will look back on these images for years to come and wonder how the time went by so quickly. Babies are only considered newborn for the first three months, and if you ask any newborn photographer, we will tell you only for the first ten days! After that, babies tend to be more awake and not as easy to be posed into different positions. Good thing we photographed this sweetie in time. If you’re thinking about having newborn portraits taken, don’t wait until you’ve already had your baby! Email me at helen@helendon.com as early as you feel comfortable so that you can be sure not to miss this incredible time for beautiful portraits of your little one at their tiniest stage. 
If you live in Northern Virginia, Maryland or DC, please contact me to schedule your newborn session!
