The Franciscan Monastery is a hidden gem in DC. It is quiet and peaceful, making it the perfect location for family or outdoor newborn photos. The grounds are stunning -full of beautiful architecture, walking paths, and gardens. My favorite time to photograph here is around 4pm. The light turns golden on the buildings and it […]

Babies are still being born. Memories are still being made. And families are still choosing to document this time in their lives. But…as photographers we are having to work extra hard to make that happen, and we are honored to do so. Many families are opting to take their photos outside as extra precautions but […]

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.
