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…

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…

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,…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Engaged: Felicia & Joe
•
Felicia is one of my dearest friends, one of the realest and most creative people I know. I am still over the moon happy that she met someone so perfect for her and her family… some of these photos really caught my breath! Congratulations, Felicia and Joe. I can’t wait…

Newborn: Baby A
•
Baby A was fairly sleepy during my visit, waking just a couple of times to protest not being held close enough. What a sweetheart. Sleeping through his big brother’s gymnastics and keyboard-playing, completely oblivious to all the toy cars crashing into each other, and the chatter of his family. Also…

Newborn: Baby R
•
I won’t go deep into my beliefs here; you definitely didn’t sign up for that kind of thing this morning. But, I will say. Some of these photos really tugged at this feeling I’ve had where, I’ve known my children always, and they knew me. I’ll stop there, because it’s…
