It’s particularly beautiful in the late […]

These sunrise photos at the Capitol felt dreamy in every way. I loved my client’s choice of dress. It was a soft blue chiffon-a sweet nod to their baby boy that is soon arriving. We chose the Capitol at sunrise for multiple reasons. The dome looks so beautiful as the sun crests behind it and […]

These family photos at the Capitol are full of warmth and laughter. It’s hard to believe I took this young man’s newborn photos just two years ago! Time simply flies. It’s the greatest compliment when families keep asking me to document their portraits. Is there anything sweeter than a little boy in boots and suspenders? […]
