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 […]

Check out the garden session with this stunning High School Senior from the spring. The day had started with very heavy wind gusts of 25 mph and we considered rescheduling. So glad we decided to move forward – the strong winds had morphed into a Hollywood fan by the late afternoon and we were able […]

What a wonderfully joyful session I had with this charming and delightful University of Maryland (nearly) graduate last Saturday. We had perfect conditions on campus: mild, overcast, just a little wind, most students still asleep, parent cheerleaders, and the cutest canine UMD graduate ever. So much fun, and very likely the first time ever that […]

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 […]

Old Town Alexandria is such a whimsical place for a photo session and one of my favorites in the DC area. Check out this Senior Session with the beautiful K. – within a few short blocks we were offered a rich variety of textures and colors, from white, red and aqua colored walls, to deep […]

While everyone flocked to the Tidal Basin during the early cherry bloom, this beautiful Madison HS Senior and I caught the last of the magnificent magnolias at the Enid Haupt Garden before heading up to Capitol Hill. No crowds, just an abundance of daffodils. Here’s a selection of my favorites from her large gallery. Congratulations […]

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 […]
