Earlier this month, I had the honor of doing lifestyle family photos for A & C for an exciting adventure they are about to take. While planning for their photos, we made sure we prepped for a variety of activities for them to do so that we are able to document this phase of life they are in right now. And that’s why I love lifestyle photos so much; it’s not just about looking at the camera and smiling. It’s shows more of who you are as a family.

IC, the dad, kissed L, the mom, so tenderly on her forehead as she was holding Baby C in her arms during their lifestyle newborn photos in Haymarket, Virginia. While L was adoringly looking at their newly born baby, IC kissed her again, and again, and again. L just started laughing. The kind of laugh that when you hear gives you all the feels because you can hear the pure joy in it and all the love that’s wrapped all over it.

Last weekend’s in home newborn pictures in Arlington, Virginia is a proof that being able to document special milestones like this for families is truly a gift, especially after everything this beautiful family had gone through. Without giving too much information, it was amazing watching how the struggles that they’ve had strengthened their bond and love as a family. Being able to witness that is just priceless.
