As a Northern Virginia family photographer and a mama to a sweet little girl, I have based my portrait experience on the belief that we are living in the "good old days" right now. The only way to truly remember this season of life is through photos that will forever bring you back to those fleeting moments when your children were little.
As a mama myself, I understand just how important family photos are to you. I know the feeling of watching our little ones grow (literally over night!) and wishing we could freeze them just as they are for a little while longer. I specialize in creating artful images that will forever bring you back to your good old days.

Northern Virginia Family PhotograpHER
I've been in your shoes. The day of my own newborn session, I was so busy getting everyone else ready that I didn't have time to do my own hair or makeup. On top of that, I was exhausted and had no idea what to wear to flatter my postpartum body. While having a new baby is full of many wonderful moments, it can be challenging and leave new (or experienced) mothers feeling frazzled.
Having family photos taken doesn't need to be stressful. I will take care of scheduling your hair and makeup services so that you can get back to enjoying all of the new baby snuggles. And, you don't need to worry about what everyone will wear. You will receive wardrobe suggestions and shoppable outfit links directly to your inbox. It really can be that easy.
THE Carly Rose Photography DifferenCE
The last thing you want to worry about on the day of your session is how to keep your children entertained. All you have to do is show up and have fun. I will handle guiding the entire family through activities that will result in genuine laughter and smiles.
III. A Fun experience For everyone
Planning is super important to ensure you receive images you love. Because wardrobe and location make such a huge difference in the outcome of your photos, I put a lot of emphasis on these two aspects of your session. We will pick the perfect location to compliment your family, whether that is at your own home or an outdoor location of your choice.
II. Guidance every step of the way
One of the most stressful parts of having family photos taken is trying to figure out what to wear. I will help you pick outfits for the entire family that will flatter and photograph beautifully.

"I will always treasure the photos from my maternity shoot with Carly"
Not only is Carly incredibly talented behind the camera, but she has an amazing ability to make her clients feel beautiful and at ease. We absolutely cherish the photos she has taken. Her work has even made my husband, who previously detested having photos taken, say “I want her to be our family photographer!” 10/10, would recommend, will ABSOLUTELY hire her again.

"She has an amazing ability to make her clients feel beautiful and at ease"
Carly is so talented!! I’m not photogenic whatsoever and was so impressed with the final photos. I will cherish them forever. She was even able to get great photos of a toddler with zero attention span. I felt very comfortable and 100% recommend Carly. She’s the best!

The Investment
Lindsey and her sweet little ones were so much fun to spend time with in the apple blossom trees. They walked down the rows barefoot and Sophie had fun putting flowers in her hair and twirling in her dress. I love seeing the world through the starry eyes of children

This whimsical family session at Oatlands in Leesburg, Virginia is what summer dreams are made of!
Elmore Family
This newborn session took place in the comfort of the family's home. We used cream and blush colored wraps, making the focus all about the sweet newborn. The window light created the most beautiful, soft light to capture these precious & fleeting moments.
