This epic Tidal Basin session was the result of lots of meticulous planning, from scanning the ever changing cherry blossom forecast, obtaining NPS photo permits (a tediously bureaucratic process stuck in the 20th century – but that’s a whole other story), hotel reservations, very early alarms, sunrise hair and make-up artists, & supportive husbands playing […]

While everyone flocked to the Tidal Basin during the early cherry bloom, this beautiful Madison HS Senior and I caught the last of the magnificent magnolias at the Enid Haupt Garden before heading up to Capitol Hill. No crowds, just an abundance of daffodils. Here’s a selection of my favorites from her large gallery. Congratulations […]

Check out this absolutely gorgeous High School Senior Session at Great Falls Park. During a busy – and highly successful – volleyball season for Langley High School, R. and I fit in her Senior Session at Great Falls Park on an exceptionally beautiful fall day. Looking at the images it’s hard to believe that there […]

This was my last Lincoln Memorial Session before construction began in preparation of the big Semiquincentennial (yes, I needed to look this up) in 2026. Let’s hope the Lincoln will be at least somewhat accessible before 2026 to capture beautiful sunrise photos such as these from last June. The days are very long at that […]

If there ever was an epic Graduation shoot, it was last spring’s DC triple session with these three wonderful young women celebrating their graduation from the George Washington University in style. We had so much fun between Foggy Bottom and Capitol Hill on a very sunny afternoon, and hanging out with these amazing humans made […]

That 5am alarm hurts just a little less when you know you get images like this. It was so much fun to meet and work with this wonderful Georgetown University Senior just a couple of days ago on a very sunny morning. Thank you to E. for getting up and out before dawn to make […]

What a wonderful session with this dynamic and fun McLean HS Senior, and possibly first drum major knocking on the doors of the Supreme Court? Who knows. Once again, getting up and out early is so worth it and Capitol Hill doesn’t disappoint (at least as a photo backdrop 😉). Wishing this wonderful young woman […]

Easter weekend presented a great opportunity to capture some updated family portraits for this extended family who gathered at the grandparents’ home from various out-of-town locations. With young kids and larger groups it’s important to work both deliberately and patiently. I visited their home and yard a few days before and made an exact plan […]

I met the gorgeous Maritza for the first time a couple of years ago when I took headshots for her office team at Morgan Stanley. I was so thrilled when she inquired about a photo session celebrating her impending MBA from Penn State. We decided on one of the most iconic DC spots, the Lincoln […]

Gorgeous Spring Capitol Hill Senior Session with this soon-to-be Virginia Tech student. All best wishes to the beautiful (inside and out) Brianna for the next chapter in her life. 🎓🎉💐
