Sophia’s mom found me on google after a miscommunication with another photographer that ended in a disappointing no-show. Such a situation is no fun, but I am sooo glad she found me and that we had the opportunity to capture Sophia’s NCS Senior pictures on a beautiful and sunny afternoon in DC. As serendipity would have it, we realized in conversation that we each had a child who had graduated (virtually) from the same New England college last year, who both worked for the same University publication, and – at that point to nobody’s surprise – in fact knew each other. It’s a small world indeed.

We started the session with some secret garden vibes in Bishop’s Garden, the stomping grounds for National Cathedral School students, moved on to a slightly edgier look in the golden evening sun and ended with Sophia’s elaborate prom dress in front of the cathedral, just before the sun dipped too low. Here’s a selection of my favorites, many of which make me smile as I recall how much fun we had during this session. Sophia, keep shining, and all best wishes for your next chapter at UVA.
