Two weeks ago my twin sister -Jolene- packed up her three children and drove all the way to DC from West Virginia. I was missing her children in the worst way-there is something about a twin’s children that feel just a bit like your own. It was the best gift -to just spend two days […]

I remember the first session I had with these sweet clients as they welcomed their first baby into the world. Now they have three kiddos and recently added a ball of fluff to the mix. We met on an early Saturday morning at the Library of Congress. We shot a few photos there and then […]

The one day I look forward to each year is the day I invite my past clients into our home to decorate gingerbread together. It is such a delight. We spend the day decorating cookies, eating snacks and getting to know good new friends. I try to set up several stations in multiple rooms to […]

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’ve worked with so many wonderful families this fall. I bumped into Nicole twice at two different coffee shops in the weeks leading up to her family session with me. That’s my favorite -or one of the favorites- thing about working and living in DC. I see my clients out and about at Union Market, […]

This family was ever so sweet! They were in love with their little girl, the light of there life. We walked around Bishop’s Garden on a beautiful fall morning. The sun was shining through the trees and they had just started to turn colorful. At the end the grandparents joined us which always delights me. […]

I felt such a connection with this mother over our email exchange while planning her session. They arrived and were so prepared for our time tougher. It’s always a compliment when you know your clients reads your style guide. Half way during their session the mother realized she lost her bracelet. It had sentimental value […]

The gorgeous light that fall brings us! I’m always amazed at how warm it looks in October. I met the sweet family for the second time and it’s so fun seeing a child each year. They grow so much each year at the toddler phase. We walked around Bishop’s Garden and then walked to the […]

I love big families! There are so many personalities to capture and I know we are going to have a fun time. This one is even more special with a set of twin boys. We took a few photos in the side gardens at the Supreme Court and as the light faded into dusk we […]

There is something so special about a family that sings together. Any time their little man started to feel sad they would start to sing his favorite songs and he would just light up. It was incredible. We met in the side gardens at the Supreme Court and walked the entire Captiol area together. The […]
