DC Film Photographers are frequently asked many questions about film, so I wanted to compile the most common questions and their responses in one place for you! Film is a medium that some photographers choose to photograph with over or alongside digital. I would estimate that the vast majority of photographers photograph using digital alone […]

I had such a fun time photographing this dreamy Brookside Gardens family session in Maryland. This sweet family got up early on a Saturday morning and met me at Brookside Gardens in Silver Spring. It had rained the day before, and although the forecast for Saturday was clear, there were overcast skies with fog. I […]

It can be confusing and overwhelming knowing how to help a new mom. Seasoned mothers know exactly what was helpful to them in their postpartum period, but new mothers and friends of new moms may not know the best ways to support their friends. Despite the best of intentions, it is easy to overlook simple […]

This elegant Northern VA maternity session epitome of all things ethereal. After sharing the preview, I couldn’t wait to share the full session below.

I am always so honored to photograph mothers during this special time of waiting. I know my son loves to admire photos of me […]

This Washington DC Family Cherry Blossom Photo Session was delightful. These tiny pink blooms last for only a short duration, but they make such a big impact! If you would like to have a cherry blossom session, I recommend being incredibly flexible. The National Park Service gives a peak bloom prediction every year, but this […]

This DC Maternity Studio Session was a dream to photograph. Karima was my very first session in the petite garden studio, and what a way to open! Karima chose to get hair and make-up done to feel pampered for the session – something I always recommend to elevate your session experience. This session occurred on […]
