Posed Newborn Photos with Big Brother in Charlottesville

There’s something incredibly special about watching a family grow. I first met this sweet family during their maternity session here in Crozet, and I knew even then that their newborn session was going to be filled with love, connection, and a whole lot of sibling sweetness. Now, baby Camille is finally here—and she’s already so loved.

As a newborn photographer in Charlottesville, one of my favorite things is documenting these early days, especially when there’s a proud big sibling ready to help welcome baby home.

From Baby Bump to Baby Girl

Camille’s journey began during a studio maternity session that perfectly captured her mom’s radiant glow and her dad’s quiet excitement. Seeing them again for their newborn session felt like picking up right where we left off—but now, their arms (and hearts!) were a little fuller.

This family chose to document both the maternity and newborn milestones, which I always love because it allows us to create a cohesive story—from bump to baby.

Including Siblings in Newborn Photography

One of the highlights of this session was Camille’s big brother. He was gentle, curious, and full of personality! I know how tricky it can be to photograph toddlers with their brand-new siblings, but with patience, playfulness, and a relaxed approach, we captured moments they’ll treasure forever.

Whether it’s a quiet kiss, a silly moment, or just sitting close by, siblings bring so much heart to newborn portraits. Learn more about how I approach siblings at newborn sessions here. From Squirmy to Sweet: Tips for Including Siblings in Newborn Portraits

A Cozy Studio Experience in Crozet

Camille’s session took place in my Crozet newborn photography studio, which is fully equipped for comfort, safety, and creativity. I provide everything from cozy swaddles and tiny headbands to curated sets and soft textures that photograph beautifully.

Parents don’t need to bring a thing—my studio includes a full wardrobe for both maternity and newborn sessions, and everything is styled with your family in mind.

As a former NICU nurse, I bring a calm and experienced hand to every baby session, ensuring that your little one is safe, soothed, and never rushed.

Creating Timeless Newborn Portraits

Camille’s photos feature soft neutral tones, rich textures, and gentle posing that brings focus to her delicate features. I love working with natural expressions and thoughtful details that feel true to each baby’s unique spirit.

If you’re looking for natural newborn photos in Charlottesville or Crozet, this session is a perfect example of how we can create simple, beautiful portraits with emotional impact.

My studio serves families throughout Charlottesville, Crozet, and Central Virginia, with a full-service approach that includes wardrobe, styling, and fast turnaround (7 days or less).
