Welcome Robert

This Washington DC family session felt so iconic to the city. I love when I can mix greenery with architecture to my client’s galleries. The side gardens on East Capitol Street by the Supreme Court are just lovely in the fall. It offers pretty plants, benches to pose on and a great view of the […]

Washington DC Family Session | Supreme Court and U.S. Capitol

This Washington DC newborn session was absolutely wonderful. My client’s home had large windows that allowed for amazing light in their second story bedroom. This Washington DC newborn session felt so special because I had taken their first daughters’ newborn portraits a few years ago. You can view more newborn sessions here: Newborn Sessions. This […]

Washington DC Newborn Session | In-home newborn Session

I adored this Holiday Family Photo Session. We met at a local park here in DC – Glen Echo Park – which had amazing light that morning. This Mama knows how to style her little family so well and they came dressed in such festive holiday outfits. We took half the photos in their holiday […]

Holiday Family Photo Session | Washington, DC Family Photographer

This Holiday Themed Family Session felt so fun and festive for a Washington DC Newborn Photographer in December. Little Piper had a NICU stay and we didn’t think we would have the chance to get the session in once she came home and before I went on maternity leave. But I was feeling good and […]

Holiday Themed Family Session | Washington, DC Newborn Photographer

This DC Fall Family Session was full of morning light and happiness. A toddler at this stage is always busy and will make any photographer work to capture their portraits but that is where the fun lies. I love the challenge of taking a few formal portraits but also the joy of movement and expression. […]

DC Fall Family Session | DAR Building, DC

This U.S. Capitol Maternity Session felt so special. I love photographing families as they grow and welcome new babies and new seasons of life. Little Naomie is soon going to be a big sister. She is so kind and gentle; I know she will be amazing at her new job. The only sad thing about […]

U.S. Capitol Maternity Session

I thought it was a very small chance of switching my provider at 36 weeks but I wanted to try. I adored my OB but when she told me she was switching departments I felt really sad…like I was needing to start over anyway. On a personal note I was thrilled for her because she […]

Why I Switched to a Midwife | First Baby Birth

This Colorful Fall Family Session was so much fun! It was speedy with such a busy toddler but sometimes that’s when you can capture the most expression. I met my clients at the Basilica in NE DC because I knew there was a lovely orange tree in full autumn glory. I photographed this family last […]

Colorful Fall Family Session | 6 month old family session

I adored this in-home family session for so many reasons. Having a session in your home allows the kiddos to feel at ease and creates a more playful environment. We started out in the nursery for some snuggles and baby portraits. Then we moved downstairs into the living room. I enjoy using the family couch […]
