It’s always funny to me that I have to drive half an hour to Old Town Alexandria for a “European vibe” in my images. Old Town in particular, with its cute red brick alleys and (a few) cobblestone streets, gets overrun with photographers, especially during the busy, pre-holiday season. LITERALLY HALF OF MY NATIVE GERMANY […]

When Evan’s mom reached out to me about College Senior and Graduation photos, I didn’t hesitate one second. I’ve known Evan for years, not just as a client, but because he and my own son used to play music together in the brass section of the outstanding McLean High School bands. Also, I knew that […]

Clients often ask me whether we can tag on a couple of family pictures to a Senior Session and the answer is “absolutely yes!” So much fun to meet Finley’s whole family at the start of this lovely afternoon session at a new-to-me location, Burke Lake Park, last October, where we were able to catch […]

What better venue than the Kennedy Center for a theatre student! Most teens aren’t early risers, and I am always deeply appreciative (and in awe) when High Schoolers agree to meet me early in the morning for best light and fewest distractions. Thank you, thank you to Jo for getting up early on a Saturday […]

Meeting early in the morning, before tourists or staffers start flooding the place, is one of the key ingredients of a successful photo shoot on Capitol Hill. Kudos to the lovely Grace for getting up at the crack of dawn this past October to kick off her Senior Session at the United States Botanic Garden. […]

Rachel’s request for her Senior Session last fall was for something urban and cool. After some deliberation we decided on Georgetown as our venue – a touch spiced up from the more traditional dreamy pastel of its leafy neighborhood streets. We ended up with a huge gallery of images. Enjoy some of my favorites – […]

This Senior Session turned out to be a dream come true: A quiet weekend morning on Capitol Hill, overcast skies, a stunning Senior who not only S.L.A.Y.E.D her posing, but was able to change clothes in a heartbeat for – count ’em – four (yes, FOUR!) different outfits. Enjoy some of my favorite shots of […]

Will’s High School Graduation was the perfect excuse for a session with the whole family. And what better setting for a timeless photo than the doric columns of the Lincoln Memorial, even on a busy Sunday morning, with more than a few tourists around. So much fun photographing three generations celebrating Will’s graduation from Potomac […]

This spring and summer, I have met and worked with so many amazing High School and College Seniors from around the region (even as far away as New York) for sessions in Washington, DC. And the Class of 2021 keeps on giving, each with their own personality and individual touch. Check out this knock-out gorgeous […]

I met Caleb’s big sister a couple of years ago for senior photos and was thrilled when their mom contacted me for a session commemorating his graduation from North Point High School in Waldorf, MD. Because it coincided with the parents’ 25th wedding anniversary, it was a no-brainer to bundle these two auspicious occasions into […]
