A New Addition to the Grimes Family | The Palisades DC Newborn Photographer

Some families you get to photograph once, and then you get lucky enough to be invited back for another chapter. 🥹

I first met the Grimes family when they were my very FIRST cover feature family for Stroll Palisades Kent! We had the best time photographing their family among the cherry blossoms along Macomb Street, so when they reached out about photographing sweet Dawson’s newborn session, I was SO excited to see them again!

Their in-home newborn session in The Palisades, Washington, DC was basically a dream combination. Beautiful interiors, a brand-new baby, and all the regular happy chaos that comes with having siblings in the mix. 😂 Because let’s be honest, newborn sessions aren’t always quiet and peaceful, especially when there is an excited big brother and sister around!

I love getting to photograph families as they grow, and being invited back to document another milestone is something I never take for granted. From cherry blossoms on Macomb Street to welcoming baby Dawson at home, getting to be part of these little chapters is one of the best parts of what I do.

Welcome to the family, Dawson! The Grimes crew just got a little bigger.
