Photographer, twin mama, and sushi connoisseur.  I'm so glad you're here, and I hope you'll stick around and enjoy these blog posts!

WELCOME, I'M EMily!

Lillian James | Northern Virginia Newborn Lifestyle Photographer

This little sweet pea, Lily, was such a sweetheart for her session. She was a solid sleeper, only needed a couple of snacks and ‘posed’ on her own perfectly! I think her mommy and daddy particularly appreciated it after I got stuck in traffic on my way to their house in Maryland and didn’t arrive until her “time” of the day. 

Jess and Steve were so welcoming, patient, and laid back which made our time together fly by! I think the longest part of the session was trying to get their pup Nola in a few pictures (which I think we pulled off flawlessly after we just let her do her own thing)! I can’t get over how beautiful Lily is, the Gerber baby better watch out! Oh, and because the majority of my newborn and birth babies this year have been boys-seeing the way her Daddy lights up with her is priceless
