That hair. Memories of our pregnancy.
•
There’s this one memory from my first pregnancy that will stick with me forever. We had an ultrasound at around 35 weeks (I had a high risk pregnancy). The room was dark, per the usual, it was quiet, I was tired, my husband was sitting across the room watching the…

•
I’ve been waking up super early, right after the sun makes an appearance, the last couple of days, and after checking in on any new music, I have been listening to these super short and super awesome episodes of the podcast, “An Audio Guide to Happiness.” So many interesting tidbits…

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…

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.
