Baby Lila and the Polar Vortex, Loudoun County Photo Session

Little Lila was born into a very chilly world.  She was a little over two weeks in these photos and all she wanted was to be wrapped up and swaddled by her mother and father.  She was fussy for her first time parents, but that's to be expected. Some of these images make her look as if she is a little Eskimo.  Don't worry Lila, the temperatures are supposed to rise this weekend!

Poor baby!

I just love all her tiny little fingers and toes.  

Baby Brother and Big Sister, Frederick County Maryland Children's Photographer

It says a little something when I show up for a morning photo shoot and one of the subjects is full of giggles and ready to go.  It helps that the big sister knows me and was excited to see me, but after showing my husband some of the photos from the session he asked, "Who's photo shoot was it?  Hers or the baby brothers?"  Don't worry we got plenty of her two month old baby brother as well.

Big Sister.  I love her freckles and sun-kissed nose.

Baby toes 

You can tell big sis already enjoys her job.

Together

Classic!

Whenever I photograph babies it makes me a little sad that I didn't do the same with my own sons.  Babyhood is so brief, so you need to be sure you catch these little fingers, toes, lips, eyes and mouth before they change.

Smuggler Baby Carriage, Perfect for Newborn, Photography by Frederick County Photographer

After Liam's Saturday soccer today game we drove through Buckeystown, MD and spotted this gem sitting on a lawn with some other wonderful antiques.  The owner is a photographer as well and when I mentioned this would be perfect for a newborn photo shoot he agreed.  He called it a "Smuggler Baby Carriage" for it's hidden compartment under the cushions shown in the fourth photo.  It was just too interesting a piece to pass up.  It is most likely from the turn of the century and can still be wheeled around although surely you won't see anyone pushing it down the streets of Frederick.

Luke helped me test it out by putting Romeo in it.  Perfect fit!

If you know of someone who is excepting and would like for me to capture thier newborn in his or her first days of life please send them my way.  With some pretty, soft blankets it will make a perfect prop and can even be used in a photo shoot with a little girl and her dollies! I can't wait to use my new baby carriage!
