This late summer family/senior/cousin session was such a joyful one with lots of sunshine, laughter and adorable baby giggles. We worked in three different locations, a short walk from one another, to capture images in sun drenched beautiful colors as well as the classic Capitol Hill vibes. A simple process resulting in a dynamic, varied […]

As we are headed into October, I am thinking back to this absolutely wonderful autumn session in downtown DC last year. Don’t these photos make you feel the whiff of crisp fall air that we are all looking forward to? Working with these children was an unmitigated joy and makes me look forward to many […]

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 […]

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 […]

There’s never a bad time for dog therapy right? We had to reschedule this session not once but three (!) times last spring because of rainy weather but the wait was so worth it. Lola, her lovely human and I met at Meridian Hill Park in Adams Morgan and while the fountains were sadly out […]

A milestone birthday brought this very fun extended family together on a sunny spring evening in Old Town Alexandria. What better occasion is there to get some updated family photos? We scheduled the session right before the big birthday dinner and kept locations within a few feet of each other to keep things as simple […]

As I am putting together this blog post, I still remember – actually still feel – how I felt during this session. Working with this sweet family didn’t feel like actual work – more like taking a walk around Capitol Hill with some lovely people while being creative. I can still feel the ease and […]

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 […]

When Oma and Opa come to visit from Germany 🇩🇪, you get all dressed up, schlepp to DC through rush hour traffic and road closures on a hot weekday evening, fight for a parking spot on Capitol Hill and arrive all relaxed and giddy for a fun family session. Right? – Yes, right! Check out […]

This wonderful family has been a loyal client since I photographed the little girls’ baptism as babies. I am so grateful for my clients who value quality family photographs reflecting and documenting the many stages of their growing family. You can’t hold on to the moment but you can freeze it in a beautiful portrait […]
