The last time I took this young lady’s pictures she was just a little girl sitting in her Daddy’s lap. Imagine my surprise when we met up at Meadowlark Gardens in Vienna for her Senior photos a few days ago on a sunny spring afternoon, and I had to look waaayyy up to her. Thankfully […]

If there ever was a mother of all family sessions, this was it. This lovely family was visiting DC from California for a few days and used the opportunity to update their family photos and create a visual travel diary at the same time. I enjoy sharing my love for this city as well as […]

What a way to start off the week! I was so happy that Elizabeth asked to move up her senior session – originally scheduled for May – to this week. The conditions don’t get any more ideal with sunny afternoon skies, comfortable temperatures and everyone else gathering at the Tidal Basin. And did you know […]

And here they are, the 25 families I had the privilege to photograph in 2020. (Two families requested to keep their photos private). It’s been a tough year, but you couldn’t tell looking at all these beautiful people. I am so happy that I was able to capture so much love and joy amidst these […]

Very few of my clients share my linguistic proclivity towards the language that comes easiest to me: Denglisch. It’s the random mixing of German and English (Deutsch und Englisch = Denglisch) and reflects the sentiment of neither here nor there which many expats (I would imagine from any country) experience regularly on a visceral level.

When your silver anniversary coincides with your daughter’s senior year of college, it calls for a photo session to commemorate both occasions at once. In the last twenty or so years our families have mostly known each other in swimsuits and goggles, laboring up and down 25 meter lanes of chlorinated water, some, I should […]

I met this absolutely wonderful family during my Front Steps Project at the beginning of the pandemic, about, let’s see, maybe 10 years ago? Although we live near each other, we all made the trek to Chantilly for a morning session at Ellanor Lawrence Park. Let’s just say that the sweetness and love in this […]

If I had to characterize this session in one word, I would call it “sunkissed.” The summer sun made a very strong appearance after days of changing weather forecasts that kept us guessing. Rain? Drizzle? Clouds? Well, there it was, beating down on us as though making the point that no, summer isn’t over quite […]

What a session! I have known Samantha (and her family) since she and my daughter started kindergarten together so this shoot was a bit emotional for me, too. Sam recently graduated from George Mason University and, yay, landed a job, like so many others during these crazy times, working remotely from her childhood bedroom. The […]

This Labor Day was the day before the first day of school for the children and teens in my neighborhood. The first day of a school year like no other. To provide a little semblance of normalcy, as well as a sense of celebration during these crazy times, I conducted mini back-to-school photo sessions right […]
