This maternity session at the Bon Air rose garden was so lovely. The soft-toned colors the mother chose in their outfits matched perfectly with the roses. This location is a hidden gem in Arlington. I took their holiday photos last November and it happened to be the very day they found out that baby girl […]

This maternity session at the Lincoln Memorial felt like a dream. The morning was overcast and it gifted us the perfect light. We met before 6 am to avoid the crowds and I am convinced it’s the magical time in the city. Everyone is still waking up and the location is so peaceful at the […]

This maternity session at the Supreme Court felt so special. I photographed Mat and Izzy’s wedding last year and was so excited when they told me they were expecting a little girl. Amelia will be the best big sister ever. She’s so excited and loved touching her Mama’s belly. I loved the spring blooms and […]

This Maternity Session at the Lincoln Memorial felt really special. Any time another photographer/friend asks you to photograph their family, it is such an honor. We met at the Reflecting Pool but I always forget how they drain the pool each Spring. We still made it work and had a lovely time anyway. We then […]

Washington DC Maternity Photographer It’s my goal as a Washington DC photographer to capture the entire story of my clients baby. Even the season they are born in tells a little part to that. This maternity session was full of magnolia blossoms which paired beautifully with my client’s choice of wardrobe. The white dress with […]

Washington DC Maternity Session I adore when parents choose to take maternity photos before their baby arrives. This maternity session was an absolute dream. We met on a rainy evening at the DAR. The white columns and delicate architecture creates a perfect space for a maternity session. The gown Samantha chose was a soft sage […]

Choosing your outfits for photo sessions can feel daunting with an overwhelming selection. I chose a few of my favorite and flattering dresses for mother who want to wear something special for their maternity or newborn sessions. As a rule, I choose neutral and light tones. Solid or lace dresses are best. Cream, white, sage, […]

I think often of all the lovely locations that DC has to offer. One of the favorites for me is the Bishop’s Garden at the National Cathedral. I photographed a maternity session there this past week and it was simply beautiful. We met early so we had the entire garden to ourselves. I loved how […]

I met Courtney at a photography workshop we both attended. She was quiet and so gentle-always smiling. We slipped upstairs for some quiet and I had the privilege of taking a few maternity images for her. I love how simple these frames turned out. A beautiful mama, a sweet baby bump, and an old window.

This session spoke such gentleness as I watched it unfold. This sweet mama is so incredibly kind with her two -almost three- little boys. We were juggling a stroller and two small children on the DC streets with lots of crowds and she maneuvered with incredible grace. Every time I have the privilege of photographing […]
