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 […]

It’s hard to believe looking at these images, but trust me when I tell you that it was downright cold and windy on this early May morning in Georgetown. What a trooper this newly minted McLean High School graduate was to tough out the bitter breeze in her cute little dresses and sandals when she […]

Some clients just seem to effortlessly *SLAY* their photo sessions. I met Avery several years ago when her mom drummed up the whole family of six for a fall photo session. Even back then she was the rare middle schooler who wasn’t just not awkward but outright confident in front of the lens. So it […]

Hannah and I met on a sunny spring morning in beautiful Georgetown for a session to commemorate her graduate degree from Georgetown University. Just the day before, GU had announced their plans for an in-person graduation at Nationals Park – a well-deserved perk after a pandemic stricken school year. Hannah and I had a lot […]

Michelle contacted me in early April about college graduation photos at the Lincoln. GWU is the ONLY COLLEGE IN TOWN without an in-person graduation so it was only fair to splurge on a grad photo session with bells and whistles. She drove down from her home in Long Island the night before our session just […]

Scrolling through this gallery, one might think that Sofi and I had the Lincoln Memorial all to ourselves on a Saturday morning in April, but this couldn’t be farther from the truth. The place was in fact teeming with photographers posing engaged couples and college grads in caps and gowns, directing families with young kids, […]

When your kids are older it’s often hard to find time together, much less the leisure for a family photo shoot. (I have been living the “kids-all-over-the-place-life” for a few years now). This lovely family chomped at the bit for a family/senior session combo when their son was home for a few days from college. […]

Kyla absolutely * K I L L E D * her Senior Session at the Lincoln Memorial earlier this month. And proves that it is SO WORTH IT to rise and shine at the crack of dawn. (Which she is quite used to as a member of the McLean HS crew team – albeit without […]
