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 […]

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 […]

Another beautiful Senior from the #Class of 2022 who now undoubtedly is kicking a$$ at college. I had a wonderful time with the beautiful and brilliant Erin during our morning session on Capitol Hill last spring. Scroll down for the 🔥🔥wardrobe transformation towards the end.

There was a period last spring when I found myself on Capitol Hill over and over and over, for Senior Sessions and Family Sessions. It is simply one of my favorite venues, providing a classic backdrop for timeless images. I met with Kylie on a very overcast weekend morning – perfect conditions for the light […]

Another joyful High School Senior from last spring, rocking her session on Capitol Hill. (Her younger siblings made an appearance as well). She’s now slaying it at Bowdoin College in Maine – not quite as balmy currently as it was in DC last year while the tulips were at their best. Can’t wait for those […]
