This romantic summer maternity session took place at Riversdale Manor in Riverdale, Maryland, where mama Francine had her announcement photos earlier in the year.

The gorgeous weather and light made this session flow beautifully. Francine’s last session was cold, and she was a total champ. It was a nice treat […]

Traveling with toddlers (plural) is no joke. Zach and I have always had a strong case of wanderlust, so we have continued to travel with kids (sans the pandemic).

We decided to have the session at […]

As a Northern VA and DC Maternity Photographer, I am the first one to tell mothers why you should have a maternity session. Some mothers may choose to forego a maternity session for a few reasons. These reasons all make sense, but in the long run, the value of a maternity session is greater. You […]

Family photographers around DC, Northern VA, and Maryland offer many different styles. Many people tell me they love my style because it is light and airy, resulting in ethereal, elegant images. I adore photographing this way because I do think it adds a refined look to photographs. What I think many people do not realize […]
