We are blessed with mild autumn days with incredible sunlight deep into the fall in the DC area. The day of this session was one of those. It was an absolute joy to meet and work with this lovely family, and especially with their very spirited children. We couldn’t have asked for a better afternoon […]

Check out the garden session with this stunning High School Senior from the spring. The day had started with very heavy wind gusts of 25 mph and we considered rescheduling. So glad we decided to move forward – the strong winds had morphed into a Hollywood fan by the late afternoon and we were able […]

Heavy rains were in the forecast for this Senior Session so we moved it up by a day and it couldn’t have been a more beautiful morning at the Reflecting Pool for this McLean High School Senior earlier this year. After a stunning sunrise, a few clouds mercifully rolled in and allowed us to spend […]

What a wonderfully joyful session I had with this charming and delightful University of Maryland (nearly) graduate last Saturday. We had perfect conditions on campus: mild, overcast, just a little wind, most students still asleep, parent cheerleaders, and the cutest canine UMD graduate ever. So much fun, and very likely the first time ever that […]

Huge congrats to Olivia and Drew on their engagement. 💍💞 What an amazing session with these two a few days ago at the Jefferson Memorial in Washington DC. I was a tiny bit concerned when it started drizzling on my way downtown before sunrise but I knew that the Jefferson would provide coverage and that […]

We eschewed the cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin during their peak bloom weekend in favor of the magnolias at the Enid Haupt Garden at the Smithsonian Castle. While in the latter stages of bloom, they were still spectacular, and the volume of visitors, while significant, was much more manageable. This fast moving session was […]

Green Spring Gardens was at the very early stages of spring last week, with many flower beds still more mulch than blooms, and the beautiful Sunday afternoon drew crowds of families and picnickers. I had to be very intentional with locations and posing to capture the early spring colors (pre-tulips) while avoiding the many visitors. […]

Posing in front of a camera can be a very awkward experience that most of us aren’t used to. (And yes, there is a reason why I prefer to be behind the lens 😉). This very lovely HS Senior wasn’t entirely comfortable in front of the camera at first but we quickly connected, and with […]

Yes, I do have the coolest clients. After photographing his sister’s senior portraits a couple of years ago, it was Matthew’s turn to get up and out at the crack of dawn for his Lincoln Memorial session – and a sunny one it was, not the easiest conditions at this iconic Washington, DC spot. Once […]

An epic Senior Session with Twin High Schoolers – enhanced by an appearance of their little brother – on Capitol Hill last spring. This was one of the largest galleries I have ever delivered. Their mom got a little teary-eyed during the session and who could blame her? I trust that they are both rocking […]
