Even if I had tried, I doubt it would have been possible to take a bad picture of this stunning McLean High School Senior. Thank you for meeting with me super early on a hot August day for this wonderful Capitol Hill Session. As it were, it turned out to be just in the nick […]

The count is on. So glad I got to kick off the Class of 2022 with this fine McLean High School Senior in one of my favorite locations in the city, on Capitol Hill, thus following in the footsteps of his big brother in a location that we haven’t been able to take for granted […]

“I’m the photographer in the family and we have so many photos of my husband with the kids,” Bea told me when she scheduled a session with her three children. Dang, did this sound familiar!

Three graduates and no (official) celebrations for this Class of 2020 does not diminish their accomplishments. Congrats all around and especially on a […]

The Washington area offers an array of unique portrait venues. Many of my High School Seniors opt for the classic look of white marble and clean lines, the perfect mix of visual interest and focus on the subject. I shoot at a lot of different locations for different looks, and the “classic DC” is one […]

One of my favorite Senior Sessions from 2019 was last spring with this lovely young woman, Alannah, then a Senior at McLean High School. We started at the median of a non-descript street near my house that had some pretty pink blooms and then went for a fun walk in Georgetown, one of my very […]
