This is your sign: Book the family portraits
•
I know it as well as you do: life is busy, the world feels heavy. The kids keep growing, the seasons keep changing, and suddenly another year has flown by without that family session you meant to schedule. But here’s the thing (… that I also know as well as…

Everyday moments, new seasons
•
I’m so grateful that my clients reach out when they’re entering a new season of life. I love capturing your everyday moments, before the leaves change. New home, new baby, new pet, a pet growing older, graduations… I can’t wait to see more of you this year. In trying to…

Maternity: Marcy, Rahmin, M
•
Marcy is one of my oldest friends, and is expecting her second babe later this month (oh my gosh, it’s already September). Photographing her family before they become 4 was so special for me—being a part of someone’s life at such different points in time is so exciting and humbling.…

Family: Kim, Bob, & Kids!
•
I absolutely loved delivering this family’s gallery to them. This was the family I said was full of unicorn children who were SO comfortable in front of the camera; I got so many wonderful photos of them smiling right at the lens, and also so many sweet, candid moments (my…

100 days project
•
I read somewhere that a lot of growth happens when you focus on your personal work. I’m 54 days into a personal project: one photo a day for the “summer.” It’s taken me back to how my photography journey began, which was just documenting a little bit of my life.…

One Whole Year: Little S & Family
•
This gorgeous family chose me to take their fall photos last year in Old Town Alexandria. This was one of my favorites from that morning! Then, they were amazing enough to choose me again, to capture baby S’s first birthday photos. It’s such a special thing to be able to…

Newborn Hospital Session: Baby V
•
There is a distinct feeling in hospital rooms where a new baby is being held (by visitors, by mommy, by daddy). It’s a mixture of excitement and exhaustion, sleepiness and sleeplessness. Allie and Ryan are seasoned parents; so in this room, what was missing was confusion and a hidden streak…

Family: Renee’, Erik, L, C
•
We rescheduled this family session a couple of times due to rain in NOVA at the end of October/beginning of November. Even the day we ended up with was drizzly and windy! But, we all agreed to give it a try! I’ve known Renee’ since 1999 when we began singing…
