Last fall, I had the distinct pleasure of doing a mother-son session for Aurora and Tristan in Old Town Alexandria (check out their session here). So when Aurora reached out asking if I could take their […]

I’m so excited to share this adorable session with the Lee Family, taken at the picturesque River Farm in Alexandria! When Rachel reached out looking for updated photos of her beautiful little family, I knew that River Farm would be perfect for their session. I love River Farm’s mix of brick buildings, manicured lawns, lush […]

When it comes to women’s fashion, there are so many countless stores, styles, and options out there that it can be overwhelming! Not to worry, I’ve put together a handy-dandy “cheat sheet” for you! ๐ Similar to my previous post, here are three tried-and-true outfit “formulas” that photograph beautifully and are flattering across a wide […]
