Hi! I’m Teresa. I am a lifestyle and documentary newborn photographer based in the Washington, DC area. As a mom to three who battled infertility, I get how important newborn sessions are. Like my family sessions, I love documenting authentic connection and details. As my three kiddos get older, it’s so easy to forget those moments, but photographs remind me of how Emma would nap with her arms up in the air, making her look like the letter Y, how Liam had the sweetest, messiest blond curls, and how both Emma and Liam adored their little brother Patrick.
Newborn sessions, held at the client’s home, last one and a half to two hours. I offer a mixture of posed newborn portraits and a lifestyle session with the newborn and his or her new family. The time includes any clothing changes or scenery changes, and clients can choose one of two collections. Clients have access to my newborn baskets, wraps, hats, headbands, clothing, fillers, furs, and blankets. When you book, you’ll get my Preparing for Your Newborn Session Guide with all sorts of tips and tricks to help the in-home newborn session go smoothly and access to my complimentary styling service!
