DC Couple’s Session: M & B
I love these two people SO much. I am so honored to have photographed them in their DC home, just hanging out, drinking coffee, talking about all the things. FYI, this is how sessions with me are; you don’t have to provide coffee for me, though. But I wouldn’t say no.

I was originally called into photograph this beautiful bathroom remodel; but had the opportunity to photograph a couple of extra details.

Alexandria, VA Family: Baby A
Baby A’s mom and I worked together years ago, in Alexandria, VA. When they came to visit the area briefly, we scheduled a fun session, the day after the random spring snowstorm. Just a walk through Old Town. Look how happy this girl is.

Newborn: Baby L
Baby L is so loved. What I felt during this session: L’s mom and dad are SO supportive of each other. Now is the time to frickin stick close together, people; those early days and the sleep-deprivation-induced delusion are not easy. You guys are doing it right! L is so content just to be close…

Alexandria, VA | Remodel/Interior Design
My love for photography began with capturing THINGS and spaces and just colors, so I was very excited about this session to photograph my talented interior designer/realtor friend’s project in Alexandria, VA. The colors and the light in this home were so gorgeous. I could imagine spending an entire day in that huge room, just…

Mother
Being mom usually means not having time to take photos of all that you’ve created, especially photos that you’re in, too. Mother’s Day is May 13th. In the Washington, DC/NOVA area? Schedule a session with me. Ask for one, treat yourself to one. And when you select your final portraits, select SO MANY that have…

Newborn: Baby N
It’s no secret that I am in love with California. In. Love. This family of four recently came back to Northern Virginia after living on the west coast for awhile, and are now a family of FIVE. I could feel those calm CA vibes the moment I stepped into their home, even with their two…

Newborn: Baby A, 2 weeks old
I incorporate a few poses into my newborn sessions, even though I’m not primarily a posed photographer. I bring a few props (baskets, blankets, floor drop), but I love to use what parents have on hand for dressing and swaddling. I feel like this ensures that the poses and the look are natural. Years from…

Newborn: Baby M
I really love last minute bookings, especially when it means being able to spend time with a new baby. Baby M’s red hair and sweet expressions melted me! Big brother J’s liveliness was just the best next to his sleepy new sister and had my face aching from all the smiling. The early days with…

What could have been missed.
I consider myself very observant of small details. Especially when it comes to quiet moments with my family, or quiet moments by myself. Even then, there are details and moments that I’m 100% sure that I miss, that only an outside observer would be able to notice or photograph. These are some favorites from sessions…
