Did you know that photographs boost self-esteem in children? When deciding to offer customized artwork for my clients this year, I learned that there was a body of research dedicated to this idea. It makes perfect sense when you think about it. When children see themselves in their homes, they feel validated and a sense […]

COVID hit the US just as my maternity leave was coming to a close. Just as I was preparing to head back into the world, the world shutdown. I have been fortunate enough to spend Rosie’s first year with her at home, although I have been home for a long time. Parents of newborns tend […]

This Maryland newborn session was photographed on a crisp fall day. We had documented this beautiful family’s maternity session in the summer in DC. I love photographing babies in the cooler months because of the cozy feel it lends to the photos. It almost feels like hibernation! Baby Penelope was so calm the entire session, […]

As a DC fine art photographer, I have desired to enrich the service I provide the families I photograph. I couldn’t quite place my finger on it, but it seemed there should be something more than simply sending an online gallery and calling it a day. The galleries are beautiful and purposeful, yet so often […]

It is such a joy to document this special time for families like in this Meridian Hill Park maternity session in DC. Samantha and her family moved into the DC area this past spring. We ventured out to Meridian Hill Park in DC on a summer morning. I almost always photograph in the early morning […]

As a mother to an active, energetic toddler, I am the first person to understand how tricky it is to get your children to sit still for a single picture! Although I specialize in lifestyle photography, I love to get posed photos here and there like any other parent.  I remember struggling to get posed […]

Jill and her darling family recently moved from San Francisco to the district. We only thought it fitting that we capture her classic family photography session in front of a DC staple, the U.S. Capitol Building. The Capitol Building is the epitome of elegance in the city. Therefore, it serves as the perfect backdrop for […]

Fall photo season is finally upon us as many families gather to get that perfect shot for Christmas cards or new portrait hanging on the wall. I love photographing families in the fall for many reasons, from the gorgeous colors and scenery to the animated little ones. 

I have photographed Tiffany’s family since she was pregnant with her first, so I simply adored this timeless Maryland family session. During this time, we have experienced so many milestones together! She now has two little ones, and they are the sweetest. It is a joy to watch my families’ children grow up. We had […]
