Sleeping Baby Boy at Vivienne Photography




What a surprise when this 4-month old baby boy fell asleep during his recent portrait session. I wasn’t expecting it but am so glad he dozed off for a few minutes, allowing me to capture this precious moment.

There is just something so beautiful and peaceful about a sleeping baby. This image reminds me of the classic images of Bessie Pease Gutmann that she created many years ago.

Future Naval Academy Midshipman!




Here is a cute image from his 3-year old session. I have been photographing him since he was an infant. It's been a pleasure creating a portrait history of him and his three siblings over the years.

It all started out when I photographed his parent's engagement session at the Naval Academy and also their wedding; which also took place at the Academy. (His dad is a USNA graduate) Four children later, I am still photographing the family, creating a portrait history for each of the children . . . a visual treasure that the family will cherish throughout the years!
