Gorgeous fall colors. Glowy sunshine. Love, warmth, and smiles all around. Sometimes everything clicks into place for a portrait session, and this beautiful family session was definitely one of those times...

Fun fact: a true petite fit doesn’t involve just a shorter overall length, but also elements such as a narrower shoulder width, a shorter torso length, and a higher natural waist.

From beginning to end, it was a frenzy of high energy, big family hugs, park races, tickle fights, and plenty of giggles and mischief. Rachel told me ahead […]

Fun fact: older brothers Michael and William are fraternal twins, and both of them got married during the pandemic! Younger daughter Lilly, who has a background […]

If you’ve worked or lived in Crystal City, Ballston, or Rosslyn, you may have seen their truck on your streets at one point! 🙂 I have many fond memories of lining […]

For the past three years, Manuel and I have taken our own Christmas card photos using a tripod and intervalometer. It’s something I really look forward to every year, and I’m grateful that Manuel indulges me and plays along with gusto! 😛 I always enjoy the creative challenge of being on both sides of the […]

“I just want it to look like fall behind us,” Meredith told me as we were planning her family session. I think it’s safe to say that she got exactly what she wished for! After the warmest October in recent memory, we finally got a gorgeous display of oranges, golds, and warm greens at Burke […]

There’s nothing quite like Green Spring Gardens in the fall! On this particular Saturday afternoon, the gardens were THE place to be, with countless families, engaged couples, and expectant parents alike vying for the perfect photo spot. I may or may not edited a few photographers out of the background in some of these photos! […]

This session with the Greenley family was so incredibly special! Baby Lois was born extremely premature at 24 weeks, and her parents, Emma and Michael, wanted to have a family session to celebrate her life and the fact that she is now healthy and thriving at one year old! Older brothers Gus and Patrick were […]
