What a wonderfully joyful session I had with this charming and delightful University of Maryland (nearly) graduate last Saturday. We had perfect conditions on campus: mild, overcast, just a little wind, most students still asleep, parent cheerleaders, and the cutest canine UMD graduate ever. So much fun, and very likely the first time ever that […]

Huge congrats to Olivia and Drew on their engagement. 💍💞 What an amazing session with these two a few days ago at the Jefferson Memorial in Washington DC. I was a tiny bit concerned when it started drizzling on my way downtown before sunrise but I knew that the Jefferson would provide coverage and that […]

We eschewed the cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin during their peak bloom weekend in favor of the magnolias at the Enid Haupt Garden at the Smithsonian Castle. While in the latter stages of bloom, they were still spectacular, and the volume of visitors, while significant, was much more manageable. This fast moving session was […]

Green Spring Gardens was at the very early stages of spring last week, with many flower beds still more mulch than blooms, and the beautiful Sunday afternoon drew crowds of families and picnickers. I had to be very intentional with locations and posing to capture the early spring colors (pre-tulips) while avoiding the many visitors. […]

There’s never a bad time for dog therapy right? We had to reschedule this session not once but three (!) times last spring because of rainy weather but the wait was so worth it. Lola, her lovely human and I met at Meridian Hill Park in Adams Morgan and while the fountains were sadly out […]

What a session this was with the stunning and lovely E. Getting up and out before dawn is never easy and always worth it. And while the Lincoln Memorial is still a construction site, the reflecting pool and Washington Monument are beckoning us to provide an iconic DC backdrop, followed by other photogenic spots along […]

Throwback to this colorful spring Senior Session with the beautiful R. on a day when there is a snowstorm forecast in Northern Virginia. I met her back in 2016 when her parents hired me for the first of many family sessions, and I’m pretty sure that I was taller than her back then. 😎 It […]

To think that we nearly rescheduled. We were on the fence about going forward because of uncertain weather, and, boy, am I glad we moved ahead: a virtually empty garden after the rain and even, cloud covered light all around allowed us to freely move about for some beautiful Senior portraits of this stunning McLean […]

A milestone birthday brought this very fun extended family together on a sunny spring evening in Old Town Alexandria. What better occasion is there to get some updated family photos? We scheduled the session right before the big birthday dinner and kept locations within a few feet of each other to keep things as simple […]

After taking his sister’s senior photos a couple of years ago at this very location, I spent a wonderful spring morning with this fun college-bound senior – and look at the huge gallery we produced for him. We even found blooms that matched his Gonzaga HS tie right by the Supreme Court. Clients are sometimes […]
