Birchtree Photography by Mary Schwarz

Well it's been a looong time since I posted on Facebook. My own baby number three happened last June...and while I've been photographing many sessions and families since then...I haven't prioritized social media. Anyway, I'm still here, and Cherry Blossom season is coming up! Yes, I'll be doing a limited number of mini-sessions again this year. See the flyer for info and let me know if you're interested in booking a session!

I love to document families as they grow in number...here's a newborn session from a sweet family: http://www.birchtreephotographyblog.com/2017/05/virginia-newborn-photography-baby-lucy/

In honor of Mother's Day yesterday, I thought it fitting to post a sweet newborn session. I had the privilege of photographing this family when they welcomed their first several years ago. So it was especially sweet to document their newest addition, baby Lucy.It was fun to see how much Ben had…

Spring is here...and so is baby Rhys: http://www.birchtreephotographyblog.com/2017/04/maryland-newborn-photography-baby-rhys/

Spring is truly here with lovely blooms, fresh green leaves on the trees, and birds serenading in the morning. I think it must be a nice time to have a baby--the weather is just getting warm enough to take walks without having to be completely bundled upAnd speaking of new babies, I…

Monogrammed outfit...check. Cute baby grin...check. Spring weather in February...also check! http://www.birchtreephotographyblog.com/2017/03/dc-baby-photography-will-is-nine-months/

Well so much for an early spring! The cherry blossoms are only now coming out. We got a teaser back in February for baby Will's nine month photo session. It's hard to believe these photos were from a month ago! Since we were assuming the weather would be cold, we scheduled the session for inside the...

So it's been a while since I posted...not for lack of things to share...it's been a busy past few months! Check the blog for an adorable baby session (complete with hilarious hat mishap)...and some news on what's coming this summer. :) http://www.birchtreephotographyblog.com/2017/02/nyc-baby-photography-baby-rinnah/

Hello dear neglected blog of mine. It's been a busy past few months! Fall came with its usual jump in family photo sessions (which I love), and then the holidays hit with the fun, family, and friends that we all so enjoy.And well, there's a been a few other things going on, too. Come this…

Yes, fall is here! And that means fun family sessions like this one:

Yes, fall is here, and with it come lots of beautiful and fun family sessions. Here is one such family session taken on Capitol Hill. The leaves hadn't quite changed yet, but you can see the lovely fall light filtering through the trees.I so enjoyed catching up again with Ben and his parents and…

I could not stop smiling when I was editing these photos! So much joy and laughter in this family:

I love this time of year because it means I get to photograph a lot of wonderful families. And that makes me smile. You know what else makes me smile--editing this family's photos from their session. I couldn't stop smiling back at my screen at the joy on their faces!I recently met up with AJ…

This beautiful little girl was recently welcomed by an excited big brother and two wonderful parents. Lake is an absolute little doll...so very precious. I was so glad to meet her and take her newborn photos with her family in Cheverly, MD a couple of weeks ago.Also, her grandma brought the…

I'm looking forward to watching this cute little guy grow up this year...http://www.birchtreephotographyblog.com/2016/09/alexandria-va-baby-photography-will/

It's amazing how much babies grow in just a few short weeks and months. One of the fun things about doing "a year's worth" of photo sessions--ie, several photo sessions over one year--is seeing how much the baby has grown in just a few months. I'm looking forward to watching Will grow over the next…
