Welcoming a new baby is such a precious moment in your life as a new parent. You want to cherish every tiny detail – those delicate fingers, soft wisps of hair, and peaceful expressions. At Melissa Sheridan Photography, I offer a luxury Northern Virginia Newborn Photography Studio experience. My goal is to capture these fleeting moments in a timeless way.
My Alexandria, VA based studio is warm and inviting. It features backdrops, headbands, wraps, and all the props needed for newborn and baby photography. Parents can relax on a cozy couch while I gently pose and photograph their baby. The session is meant to be stress-free and enjoyable. The only thing you need to bring is yourselves, your baby, and a way to feed them, and I provide the rest.
Studio newborn sessions offer a controlled environment with soft, natural lighting. Unlike in-home sessions, my Northern Virginia Newborn Photography Studio provides a perfectly styled setting. Every detail is thoughtfully arranged and curated. With a variety of props and timeless setups, your baby’s first portraits will be elegant and beautifully composed.
Need Something to Wear?
I know how hard it is to find something that fits well and looks photo worthy when you’re expecting or newly postpartum. I provide a collection of curated dresses for women to use for sessions. No worrying about what to wear or buy something expensive only to never wear it again. My client closet is always expanding to accommodate all sizes.
Here’s one of my client closet dresses in use at a maternity session.
I also offer maternity photography, baby milestone sessions, and seasonal mini sessions in the studio. Whether celebrating your pregnancy, capturing your baby’s first-year milestones, or updating family photos for the holidays, I provide a seamless and effortless experience.
If you’re expecting and looking for a high-end, personalized experience to document your sweet new little one, I’d love to help.
