Taking Capitol Hill Newborn Photos can be tricky depending on the home. Typical DC row homes are narrow and lack a lot of natural light. I was so grateful when I stepped into the S family’s home and saw all the natural light pouring in their windows. Two years ago I took their daughter’s newborn […]

I get so excited when I meet someone in person after connecting online. Kit and I were Instagram friends long before we met face to face. Their kiddos did so well for their session. We met at the Supreme Court gardens and then walked around the Capitol area together. It was a beautiful fall evening […]

I have been really enjoying all the outdoor newborn sessions lately. We are still able to get all the typical poses with the parents and baby but also some of those “posed” images as well. Little Wendy started out a bit unsettled but with some extra soothing time from her parents, she relaxed and did […]

Meet sweet, little Faye. I was so excited when her mother told me her name. It’s the name of my own mother and I so rarely hear it anymore. She was the most calm baby I have ever photographed. She wore her mother’s christening gown and it was intricately smocked with beautiful detail. Big sister […]

The Duncan family welcomed their second boy into their hearts and home and we are thrilled for them. William Rogers is simply perfect. I love session where Grandparents can be part of the moments. Anna’s mother was there and we got to capture a few 3 generation photos. She pointed out the nursery door hanging…a […]

There is nothing like a new baby. The smell and tiny grunts. The siblings getting to know the newest family member. The proud looks on the parents as they interact together, getting to know what a new normal is. Little Grant was welcomed with all the love possible. With two big sisters, he will get […]

Last week we had our first snow of the winter here in DC. I just love how it makes the world slow down and savor the little moments. It’s tradition after a large snowfall to meet early the next day at the Capitol for sledding. It was still snowing as I made my way up […]

This was such a cold-but fun session! I photographed Lauren and her family when they were just new parents. Now they are expecting another baby and big-brother is pretty excited about it. We look a few outside photos at the Bartholdi Fountain and then crossed the street to the Botanical Gardens for a few festive, […]

This family is so genuine. Their little girl was the sweetest and they had such a comfortable family bond. I try to always take a few images of just Mom and Dad together. When I asked them to get close they smiled and said they hadn’t had photos taken of just the two of them […]

You probably recognize this little family from past sessions. I’ve been photographing them since Ethan’s newborn session. These are the kind of clients that turn into dear friends. The other day we spent about 30 minutes together talking and munching fresh cookies during a walk through the neighborhood. The children did so well during their […]
