Northern VA fall mini session
•
Ah, fall minis, the beginning of the holiday season, truly, for me, as a photographer. A great way for families to update their portraits and get a holiday card photo or two, and just to spend some time together as the weather cools. I photographed this family in the spring,…

DC Maternity Photographer: If you fall, I will catch you, I’ll be waiting time after time
•
This maternity session in Georgetown, Washington DC was honestly one of my favorite sessions. A passion project. I woke up to gray, rain, and cold. I texted this mama-to-be to let her know she had to bring a jacket or something… at 8+ months, let’s not get sick, okay? Ready…

Thoughts on time: Old Town, Alexandria
•
I took the photo behind these parents-to-be, I can’t even remember how many years ago, in that exact spot, in front of that window, before they renovated most of this home near Old Town, Alexandria. I can’t express how much it means to me to be involved over time in…

•
It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with the Fostr Collaborative DC studio, and still SO stoked and lucky to be a member. I have a couple of in-studio sessions coming up in September, but since I’m really itching to use this space to its full potential, I’m offering a special. I…

What pulls you out of a funk?
•
The self-portrait to the left was me at Fostr Collaborative in Georgetown, Washington, DC (love you) early this morning, sippin’ on my Blue Bottle coffee. Quiet moments like this, to focus on organizing my calendar, catch up on editing, admin stuff for the biz, and also just soaking in the…

Burke, VA | Newborn Lifestyle Session: Worth the Wait
•
That is the line I will always remember about this session. “Worth the wait.” Mom and dad got the call that their son, Baby A, was going to be born, and they left the state to meet him. I loved talking with them about the positive adoption experience they had…

Loudoun County, VA: Family Session
•
I met this family of 6 at 48 Fields in Leesburg, VA. I grew up in Loudoun County, if you didn’t know. I have this love/hate relationship with driving through farmland (blame my teenage angst flashbacks), but my heart was so happy as I drove up to this freaking PERFECT…

Springfield, VA Engagement Session: D&J
•
What does the word “Forever” mean to you? Really, how HUGE is that word? In a past life, seeing that word written down drove me to really think on the meaning of it, and eventually take a step off that path, and keep on walking. Forever, now, means a tie…

Fairfax, VA Newborn Session: Baby N
•
This babe was born the night the Caps won the Stanley Cup. She was already present (but nobody knew!) the last time I photographed this awesome family, and I can’t thank the stars enough for clients who invite me to photograph their family’s growth. Baby N’s big brother was the…

Fresh 48 Session | Fairfax, VA
•
My mom tribe is amazing. It’s really not a secret that I wasn’t a natural at accepting help when we started a family. Thanks in part to a certain mom who always keeps it real and keeps it calm and is one of the most gentle people I know, a…
