Family Photos at the Library of Congress always turn out so beautifully. I always feel like we are somewhere in Europe when we photograph at the Library. The stunning architecture, the beautiful stairs and the patina on the lamp posts. The best times to photograph at this location is in the morning or at sunset […]

I’ve recently had the nudge to take less photos on my phone and take more meaningful photos with my professional camera. There are multiple reasons that have led me here. I want to be more present with my children. So many times I have found myself so concerned about not missing the photo that I […]

Somehow another year has flown by. Our Jesse Boy is one! He is a delight in everyday and brings us so much joy. He took his first step this week but is in no hurry to walk or talk. He takes his time with things but when he starts, he does things big like popping […]

These Intimate Spring Family Photos were the perfect way to celebrate this beautiful mama with there two sweet boys. Two and three are such fun ages to capture toddlers. They are energetic, darling and wonderfully unpredictable. I loved how this mother just went with the flow and let them pick a few flowers here and […]

This Three Generation Photo Session filled my heart to the brim. When Lauren reached out to me and said her mother was coming to town and wanted to take photos with her I was delighted. Little Gwendolyn adores her grandmother! You can tell from all the kisses and giggles. They chose the Bishop’s Garden with […]
