I met Victoria during her High School time at the Howard Gardner School in Alexandria, VA, where I periodically take portraits of the students (when they’re not in quarantine). A couple of weeks ago her mother contacted me to ask whether I would be available to take some grad photos of her on their farm, […]

There was lots to celebrate in this family. The graduation from Marymount University for the oldest sister as well as the promotions to Middle and High Schools, respectively, for the younger two. Three graduates and no (official) celebrations for this Class of 2020 does not diminish their accomplishments. Congrats all around and especially on a […]

With a college graduate of my own I’ve had first hand insight into the sense of loss for the class of 2020, missing out on the traditions and rituals of senior spring, last concerts or sports events, the senior nights, the banquets and parties, the handshakes and hugs, the walk across the stage. And then […]

I have been missing my Families and High School seniors SO MUCH this spring. Still hoping that I can schedule photo sessions starting in June. I am so ready. In the meantime I thought that some of you might like to try your hands on some portraiture yourselves. After all, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day […]

My sole cherry blossom shoot from 2020. Actually, my only spring family shoot of 2020. So grateful that I got to work with this sweet family before things went downhill very quickly and we all had to go into captivity. It already seems like a million years ago.

Update Dear all: I really, really dislike doing this to you, but after much agonizing following the Governor’s announcement earlier this afternoon (March 23), I decided to cancel the Front Steps Project for now. It is just not worth the health risk, even if that risk is minimal. The Covid-19 situation is expected to get […]

Every year I photograph a number of wonderful local High School Seniors from Fairfax and Arlington County schools. In the photos below you get to meet many of them, classes of 2019 and 2020. As the mother of three GenZ kids, I feel very close and connected to these teenagers and young adults. Here’s my […]

Classic DC for classy girls, classes 2016-2020. Going through the various galleries of these past senior girls’ sessions gave me goosebumps. Such beautiful people, inside and out, so much talent, promise and bright futures. I thoroughly enjoy my senior session outings with these young adults, chatting about their High School experiences, the ups and downs […]

“Forty and Fabulous” was the theme for Randa’s auspicious DC Penthouse Party, and a fabulous celebration it was at the top of the wharf. The penthouse of LaVie in DC provided a stylish, contemporary indoor and outdoor setting with breathtaking 360 degree views of the waterfront and the city, including – strangely enough – into […]
