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 […]

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 […]

Ever since I met Eloise at her brother’s Bar Mitzvah a couple of years ago, I couldn’t wait to photograph her big day. (Just look at the first photo below from her brother’s Bimah Session and you’ll know what I mean). This girl is so spirited and energetic, kind, funny, and smart – just pure […]

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 […]

Sophia’s mom found me on google after a miscommunication with another photographer that ended in a disappointing no-show. Such a situation is no fun, but I am sooo glad she found me and that we had the opportunity to capture Sophia’s NCS Senior pictures on a beautiful and sunny afternoon in DC. As serendipity would […]

When you visit Washington, DC, of course you bring twenty of your favorite relatives and meet for an extended family session at 5:45 am at the Lincoln Memorial. Right? – Right. I am so in awe of this family. Wheng, her husband and their four beautiful children had visited DC this past April when I […]

I clearly hit the jackpot this year with all my stunning seniors. Check out this early morning May session at the Lincoln Memorial and Constitution Gardens with Kylie, all around star athlete and gorgeous McLean High School graduate, class of 2021. Godspeed to her for her next chapter in Salt Lake City. Keep shining, Kylie.

I don’t remember how often we had to reschedule this shoot. Delays with the arrival of cap & gown, funky weather, sickness … but boy, the wait was so worth it. When we finally met at Emily’s alma mater, Marymount University, a thick cloud cover had turned the sky into a humongous soft box, providing […]

This session is such a great example for how a simple, clean backdrop can render elegant and timeless images. No need for dramatic land- or cityscapes or elaborate clothing, as long as the lighting priorities are fulfilled. Courtney rocked her session celebrating her graduation from HB Woodlawn in Arlington this summer, and I just love […]
