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 […]

The gorgeous Hannah managed her session like a pro: undeterred by a massive protest that gathered in front of the Supreme Court while we were shooting next door and fitting in not two, not three, but FOUR outfits. We seamlessly went from vivid pink to baby blue to a playful black and finished off with […]

How special it was to document this season in life for my wonderful clients, expecting their first baby. The Rose Garden in Arlington provides a stunning and serene backdrop and while it’s perfect for many types of sessions, it seems particularly apt for capturing close and intimate portraits such as these. Can’t wait for a […]

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 […]

This was my last Lincoln Memorial Session before construction began in preparation of the big Semiquincentennial (yes, I needed to look this up) in 2026. Let’s hope the Lincoln will be at least somewhat accessible before 2026 to capture beautiful sunrise photos such as these from last June. The days are very long at that […]

I met the gorgeous Maritza for the first time a couple of years ago when I took headshots for her office team at Morgan Stanley. I was so thrilled when she inquired about a photo session celebrating her impending MBA from Penn State. We decided on one of the most iconic DC spots, the Lincoln […]

What a beautiful Senior Session with the stunning Ellie at the Lincoln Memorial and the National Mall last fall. I just couldn’t get enough of her gorgeous personality – she’s beautiful inside and out. All best wishes to her for the remainder of Senior Year and beyond. 🎓

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 […]

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 […]
