welcome to my journal

These are all dresses, long and very flattering. Petite Charlotte Floral Wrap Maxi Dress Light Blue Floral Print Maxi Dress Long sleeved, […]

Maternity Dresses for Photo Sessions

When Lauren reached out to me about photos for announcing their pregnancy, I was thrilled! I drove to their home in Arlington and we had such a lovely time. They were so welcoming and relaxed, the best part about in-home sessions. I can’t wait to see them become parents! This little one is incredibly blessed […]

Danielle -DC, Maternity Photographer

DC’s summer heat has been tricky to work around this year, but my clients have been very flexible with it all. The Cherry family opted to meet early in the morning and I’m so glad we did! We met at a little park tucked away in their neighborhood. It was the perfect setting, so private […]

The Cherry Family | Washington, DC Maternity Photographer

Maternity photos are so special to photograph. The expectation and excitement of new parents (especially first-time parents) is always a joy to capture. It’s lovely when parents opt to take maternity photos together for a last few documented moments just as a couple. I understand why some women wouldn’t choose too; you never know how […]

Reese -Spring Maternity Session in DC

John and Jo are seriously the sweetest couple. I knew immediently that they would be fun from their relaxed and comfortable personalities. We met on a warm fall day at the Meadowlark Gardens.

Jo’s Maternity Session -Washington DC Maternity and Newborn Photographer

We had plans for an outdoor photo session but it just so happened to be one of the hottest days in DC. 100 degree temps and humidity doesn’t work well with toddlers and photos. So we opted to take them inside at the Portrait Gallery. I love this spot! It has a large courtyard with […]

A Botanical Maternity Session at the Portrait Gallery, DC

Sarah’s outdoor maternity session at the Smithsonian Gardens in DC was so beautiful. The soft morning light, her lovely blush pink maternity dress and magnolia blossoms complimented each other perfectly. The gardens were quiet in the early morning so we had the chance to walk abound without having to dodge crowds of people. Little Alana […]
