The Smith Family | In Home Newborn Session
about the session
Sigh! If I could work with families like this for the rest of my life I would be the happiest girl in the world. The Smiths are kind, generous, friendly, and genuinely good people. They’re family-centered and invest in memories. Their home was beautiful and was the perfect place for an in-home session. They did everything right!
Who better to properly introduce you to the Smith family than Laura herself: "We are the Smiths- Mason, Laura, Cooper (5), Lucy (3), and our NEWEST baby Caleb (born 2/2/21). We are originally from CO and moved out to the DMV area about 6 years ago for my husband's job with Amazon. Mason and I met in college and have been married for 8 years but together for 11. We got married in Jamaica and haven’t stopped traveling since. We love to explore and adventure and even moved to London with our littles (ages 2 and 4 in 2019) for a bit and played all over Europe! It was a wild adventure and I’m so glad we got the chance to do it before COVID hit! These days we are running around barefoot and Mason is working at home while I’m attempting homeschool. We LOVE tacos, picking fresh strawberries and blackberries from our backyard, spending as much time outside gardening, swinging or grilling as we can, and eating Georgetown cupcakes!”
The Smith home in Alexandria, VA was perfect for this family/newborn shoot! Their master bedroom had a few giant windows which let in amazing light, making for the most beautiful photos. Their home was immaculate, with no clutter, and their white bedspread that we photographed on was beautiful and textured. It was a total dream!
The Smiths were the kindest, sweetest, friendliest people, both the parents and their kids. At one point during the shoot, Lucy drew me a Valentine and snuck me a kiss when I wasn’t looking. She was just a dream! Baby Caleb was an angel baby. He was relaxed and just content to be held and cozied up with his family while I photographed him. It felt as though Caleb has been in the family for years, let alone a week. Laura and Caleb were amazing with their children as they laughed and joked, and were clearly so in love with their little family.
I am so grateful I had the opportunity to photograph this beautifully happy family in their perfect home in Virginia. What an incredible experience!
