I had the pleasure of working with baby Erik and his mommy, Stephanie, for a very fun baby session. Erik is such a hilarious little guy. The minute I walked in the door he was all smiles. He has the thickest hair you’ve ever seen - you’ll see that Stephanie styles it adorably!! And Stephanie is gorgeous and so relaxed with him. She acted as if I wasn’t even there and just laughed and played with her little boy; she is just glowing in all their pictures together.
While I was working on her pics I was so excited that she’d be able to show these to her husband who is serving in Afghanistan. He will be so proud of his beautiful wife and baby!
Reminder on my schedule: I am going to be in UT from Tuesday, April 29th to May 13th and CA from May 7th to May 11th. I will try to keep posting while I am gone!

My favorite shot from the session. Stephanie’s face is lit by the light reflected off of Erik…and her expression is just so happy and proud.



I LOVE these moments with the two of them!
Stephanie asked specifically for pictures of Erik’s chubby legs - I was happy to oblige!

Stephanie’s mom was wiggling a giant singing duck while Stephanie was tickling Erik to get this smile! Totally worth it!!

He has the cutest expressions!

He started acting tired so Stephanie rocked him for 2 seconds and he was asleep! Amazing!!


We accidentally woke him up, but I loved his sleepy eyes while he was falling back asleep
He fell asleep sitting up, how cute is he?!

So sweet!!
Another chubby leg and tiny feet shot while he was asleep, what a cutie

So about a year ago my friend Vanessa told me, “I hope I have another baby before I move away from D.C. so you can take our pictures.” What a nice compliment!! And guess what?! She had a baby (little Breezy) before she moved (next month)! I was so honored to get to finally take pictures for her!
Baby Breezy popped the most smiles I’ve ever seen out of a newborn. And Vanessa is one of the most easy going moms I’ve ever met. I hardly remember her being pregnant for more than a week (because she was so small and never complained), then she had a c-section, and then she was back on her feet within hours. Hopefully by my 3rd child I’ll be as cool as her!! Here’s some of our favorites from the session.
And Vanessa, we will miss you and your amazing cheese enchiladas SO MUCH!!
We were going to do newborn sleepy pictures….but this smiley face is what we had instead!!
Vanessa was so patient with Breezy and tried to get her to fall asleep
She didn’t fall asleep until I was all finished….but aren’t the Mommy & Breezy moments beautiful?!
Her eyes are so big!
Cute little naked baby!
This is how calm she was during the whole session!

I know you guys have been eager to see these cherry blossom pictures….so, tadaa!! Here’s Lindsey and Justin at the cherry blossoms downtown. They are the most adorable couple. They were so comfortable and awesome in front of the camera. We all completely underestimated how cold it would be at this sunrise session - it was FREEZING! (me and Lindsey were in sandals…) We had a blast, and the light was so beautiful….so it was worth it!
Also, a note about my schedule: I will be out of town in Utah visiting family from April 29th - May 13th. I will be taking appointments in Utah while I am there. I am also traveling to Bay Area, California to do engagement photos for a good friend of mine from May 7th - May 11th, and I will have time to take additional sessions if you’re interested! Email me at andrea@andreamariephoto.com to schedule an appointment!
Thanks Lindsey and Justin for doing this session with me! I finally have my D.C. cherry blossom pictures! You are one gorgeous couple! Here are a few of my favorites…
Lindsey’s hair is gorgeous…
…and her eyes! …beautiful!!
Yes, they are actually this cute in person
THIS is why we went in the cold, cold morning!
Can you tell how much Justin adores Lindsey?
Justin says this is his “blue steel” face…pretty good, huh?
