Virginia Claire | Northern Virginia Premier Birth Photographer
Sometimes you meet new people, and instantly think “we are meant to be friends”. Which is exactly how I felt when I read Ashley’s first e-mail. She was kind, genuine, and just so excited about her third little (surprise) babe on the way!
My feelings were confirmed when we met to get lunch and we hit it off, talking about our lives, our families and interests more than we talked about any kind of birth plan! Because we met before she even knew that she would be welcoming another little girl into her family,I felt like I got to experience all of the exciting happenings throughout her pregnancy with her, which reinforced the feeling of a years-long friendship.
From finding out she was having a girl to hearing the story behind Virginia’s name and finally her birth, it was truly a blessing that Ashley thought to share those exciting details with me and chose me to be her birth photographer. Even now, just a week or so after she gave birth and is figuring out life with 3 babies, she thought to hand paint and send a gift to me to keep in my office- a quote that reads “there is such a special sweetness in being able to participate in creation” and I am so glad I was able to play a small part in being able to capture Ginny’s birth story!! here are my favorites!
Love all these!!!! So glad Ginny’s birth is well documented!!
Thanks so much for capturing these!! What a great way for those of us so far away to share a slice of this precious moment with y’all. Beautiful pictures!!!!!!!

I know how important it was to Ashley to document Ginny’s birth and I have to say you did an amazing job! She was worried about calling you so early in the morning in case it was false labor, but I’m so glad she did! What was truly great was for you to come back and get pictures with Peyton and Holden meeting their new little sissy! Thank you so much.
Beautiful pictures. Makes me feel like I was there to share this wonderful experience with Ash & Mike.
Love these! These are such wonderful, candid moments.

What a wonderful testimony to my daughter-in- law. I love this young woman like my own and she has been a blessing to my son and the entire family. In a digital age when so often pictures remain in the device it’s great to see them shared and never forgotten. Thank you for this.
Lucky mama to have such beautiful birth pics.
Love these so much!
