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 […]

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 […]

The Washington area offers an array of unique portrait venues. Many of my High School Seniors opt for the classic look of white marble and clean lines, the perfect mix of visual interest and focus on the subject. I shoot at a lot of different locations for different looks, and the “classic DC” is one […]

Imagine my surprise when Holly’s mom emailed me to ask whether I was available to shoot her wedding just after Christmas. Wait what? Hadn’t I just taken Holly’s High School Senior photos a couple of years ago? And now she was getting married? Well, when you scroll down and see the way Alex is looking […]

One of my favorite Senior Sessions from 2019 was last spring with this lovely young woman, Alannah, then a Senior at McLean High School. We started at the median of a non-descript street near my house that had some pretty pink blooms and then went for a fun walk in Georgetown, one of my very […]
