    First Birthday Portraits: Chantilly, VA

    A few weeks ago I had another sesh with one of my favorite families… to get some first birthday portraits in the books. And we met at one of my favorite locations in the area (Cabell’s Mill in Chantilly) on a super warm summer morning. A little story, first! We…

    Blagden Alley: DC Lifestyle Family Session

    When I’m working with a family to pick a location for their sesh, it’s always so fun when they choose an unexpected option from my list of favorite places. It’s a challenge, and it’s an opportunity to be creative in multiple ways (not just how I see your interactions, but…

    Washington, DC Lifestyle Family Portrait Session

    I photographed this DC family before they were a family of three, when baby girl was still in her mama’s belly. Before mom and dad were mom and dad. I hung out with them again to take some newborn portraits, then a couple of months ago, this mama messaged me…

    Alexandria, VA Newborn: Where are my teeth???

    What do I remember about this Alexandria, VA newborn session? I remember how playful this little man’s mom and dad were with each other. I remember the story about their major home renovations that wrapped up THE DAY that their babe was born. And I remember air quotes when they…
