When Angela reached out to me about a family session I know we were in for a delightful time. They recently moved to DC and were excited about getting a few iconic locations in their images. We couldn’t decide between the Lincoln Memorial or the Capitol, so we went to both. Their boys were wonderful […]

This year, more than ever, I want to support small shops. Over the years I have found several that I purchase from time and time again. I hope you can find something you like, check off a gift on your list and at the same time; support small businesses. White Hill Pottery -You know I […]

There is hardly anything that makes me feel better than a walk around the city. Especially over this time, I have prioritized more time outside. I feel like every time I take a walk in the city, I happen on a surprise of some sort. Interesting architecture, lovely garden, or maybe bump into a friend. […]
