When you’re expecting, you have a million things to accomplish before baby arrives. From the nursery and baby proofing, to naming them, there’s a lot to plan for! You don’t forget to add scheduling newborn portraits in your Virginia home to the list. It’s equally as important as what crib you choose. It’s best to book newborn portraits in the second trimester, to ensure availability in addition to checking it off the to-do list.
I specialize in documenting new families in the comfort of the beautiful nursery and home they’ve created. The session below is certainly an exceptional example. What vision and talent! I adore the wallpaper.
In addition to newborn portraits, if you are in need of nursery inspiration, click here! I feature all kinds of tips, tricks, and suggestions on the blog.
