Where can you take family photos in DC? There are many beautiful locations but they don’t allow photography or you need a permit for. Some locations are worth the time and price for a permit but then their are others that are open and just as lovely. Library of Congress -one of my favorite buildings […]

I adore warm, summer evenings. I met the McCann family at the Franciscan Monastery and it’s for sure one of my favorite sessions to date. It was very relaxed and so heart-felt. I so admire gracious mothers and Erica was the essence of grace. She adores her family more than anything else and serves them […]

If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from photographing toddlers, it’s to keep them moving during a session. And snacks! Always bring snacks. Cheerios are my recommended go-to. They are easy to hid in your hand and don’t have bright dye in them that may show up later. The Farrington family was so much fun. Little […]

Newborns are hyper aware of their surroundings and I am most times the first person they encounter outside their family. I […]

Little Ellison (Elli) was an absolute bundle of joy. She was so calm during her newborn session and made my job look very easy. We took most of her portraits in her nursery. It was beautifully decorated with feminine wall paper in sage green. We even had the change to get a “full family” photo […]

I’ve photographed the Lee family for the past several years and it’s such a privilege to watch a family grow together. Every session with them has been outdoors and I love the causal, fun element it brings to their sessions. The way this Daddy looks at the boy’s mother is incredible. They are so comfortable […]
