The past few months we have been eating a lot of different salads. Fast and easy is what I love most…and tasty! I also love using vegetables that are in season and you usually have on hand. This salad is perfect for any side dish or if you add pasta and chunks of fresh mozzarella, […]

There is something I love about simple newborn photography. There are no distractions and you can truly focus on what matters most…the baby. Last week I had the honor of visiting my friend Bethany and seeing her little man. He is already a heart breaker at 3 months. He gave me so many different expressions […]

I’m sharing SO many images from this session because I simply could not decide which ones to choose. I met the Lee family early at the Library of Congress due to the heat. DC has been incredibly hot this summer! This family is everything I dream of in a client. They are comfortable and happy, […]

I have several close friends who are expecting babies and two sister-in-laws, so I was making a list of baby gift ideas. I thought you all might want to see some of them as well. I fall for cute clothes every time but I also love buying gifts they can use later too. At the […]

She opted for several business-like images and then wanted some fun, more casual ones as well. She was so comfortable in front of the camera and we had a lovely time together.

I am so excited to share with you our living room’s before and after photos. There is so much I love about a home. I watched my mother flip though many magazines (before we had Pinterest) and lovingly decorate my childhood home. Home is our safe place, a haven, the place we can process emotions […]
