If any family can pull off having a family session at 7 am, within 24 hours before their oldest daughter leaves for college, AND show up and look like THIS, it is my wonderful neighbors. The Kennedy Center rewarded them with color coordinated columns.

Northern Virginia Bar Mitzvah What a great time documenting Owen’s Bar Mitzvah – rehearsal at Temple Rodef Shalom in Falls Church and a rockin’ and rollin’ party at Jammin Java in Vienna. So proud of all these kids for their discipline with mask wearing during all the festivities and for not letting their spirit be […]

Even if I had tried, I doubt it would have been possible to take a bad picture of this stunning McLean High School Senior. Thank you for meeting with me super early on a hot August day for this wonderful Capitol Hill Session. As it were, it turned out to be just in the nick […]

The count is on. So glad I got to kick off the Class of 2022 with this fine McLean High School Senior in one of my favorite locations in the city, on Capitol Hill, thus following in the footsteps of his big brother in a location that we haven’t been able to take for granted […]

This wonderful family has been with me through my photo business journey from the very beginning. The gorgeous young women on the right, who are now in and out of college, were tiny little girls when I first took their pictures.

If you think wrangling four kids is hard, try seven. It was such a pleasure to meet this wonderful family last month for a Capitol Hill session together with their three host children from Colombia. Thank you for the privilege of letting me document a sliver of their summer in the US. Had to pull […]

You’ve got to love a family with teens and young adults who are not just willing to meet at 7 in the morning on a Sunday (after a 30 minute drive no less), but are happy and smiley doing so. Of course, for active athletes such as this group, 7 am might feel like sleeping […]

Big Mazel Tov to William and his family on his Congregation Etz Hayim Bar Mitzvah. The amount of hard work that goes into preparing for a B’nai Mitzvah is truly awe inspiring. Can you see the pure *J*O*Y* in William’s eyes for finally reaching his big day? Congratulations to the proud parents as well. It […]

My headshot sessions typically don’t make the blog but this one was just that much extra special. It took a while to coordinate before we finally found a time when all seven members of the Housing Policy Council were able to meet for updated team photos and headshots for their website. As a one-woman small […]
