Have a friend visiting with her family this week and she was asking for suggestions on what to do if the day they visit is really cold. Washington, DC offers so many fun things to do with your family even if you visit during the winter months. Here are just a few of my favorite […]

I met Sarah and her girls on a warm, summer evening at the National Cathedral. We walked through the Bishop’s Garden and it was simply delightful. The girlies looked at flowers and even got to chase a bunny. I loved how casual it felt and how much fun the girls had even while taking photos. […]

I’m sharing SO many images from this session because I simply could not decide which ones to choose. I met the Lee family early at the Library of Congress due to the heat. DC has been incredibly hot this summer! This family is everything I dream of in a client. They are comfortable and happy, […]

I met the Cannon family at the Capitol on a warm, fall afternoon. Honestly, I don’t know if I have ever met such well-behaved children. They were so fun to photograph! The sun was filtering through the trees just perfectly, and when the mother pulled out an old quilt for them to sit on, I […]

They were so much fun and incredibly kind. I even received a lunch invitation after. I try my very best to capture personalities in a […]

I simply love DC during the holidays! There are lights everywhere and so many fun, free exhibits. I thought I would share with you a few of my favorite locations to celebrate Christmas in DC. The week before and after are the best times to come and do something festive. A lot of families are […]
