I read an interesting post the other day from the Holistic Psychologist that captured my attention. The post read something like “celebrate ‘good enough’ parenting.” My first thought was not super embracing of this. I mean, shouldn’t we aim to be the best possible parent to our child? But as I continued to read the […]

This DC Newborn Session in Capital Hill was almost entirely photographed in the family’s hallway! Yes, just their hallway. Why? Their hallway had the best light. We really only need a small space for a session, as long as there is ample light. When I first arrive at your home, I will look around and […]

CeCe, our youngest child, is officially seven months old now. We have gone through A LOT of toys and baby gear amongst the three kids. We had no idea what we were doing with Perry, then we upgraded a lot of gear for Rosie, and now we have fine tuned what we really need and […]

How far out should I schedule my photo session? This is probably a question I get asked a lot. My husband Zach and I were just talking about this last night, and he suggested I write this post! How far out to schedule a photo session in his mind compared to mine were completely different, […]

Traveling with three little ones is no joke! I actually planned this Canada trip back in the winter of 2020, pre-Covid. Finally, two years later, we spent about eight days with my mother in French Canada. Despite the craziness of traveling with three children, the trip was wonderful. Honestly, the kids were wild, but they […]

Laura reached out to me to photograph their DAR Constitution Hall family session during their DC stay this summer. Laura and her family live in San Francisco and were spending the summer in the city. This was the first session I photographed at DAR Constitution Hall, and I LOVED it! DAR Constitution Hall had that […]

Let’s talk about this dreamy National Arboretum maternity session. It was the session of my dreams! Think Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen, Jane Eyre – this session portrayed classical feminine literature in the most beautiful setting. Lauren and Ben had their National Arboretum maternity session on a summer morning. Morning sessions at the National Arboretum […]

This Joint Base Andrews newborn session with two bigger siblings was so precious! I have had the honor of photographing Samantha on a number of occasions – her Meridian Hill Park maternity session with her daughter, her last newborn session, and her studio maternity session with baby Leland. Time and time again, I always say […]

This Fairfax newborn session was set amongst the family’s gorgeous hydrangea blooms. It bloomed perfectly in time for the birth of baby Henry, so we had to incorporate it into their session. Big brother Holt was the perfect big brother for his new addition. I know parents can worry about how their toddler will act […]

It was a hot summer day for this Capital Hill Newborn session in Washington, DC. When I arrived at Betsy and Brett’s home, I couldn’t get enough of how loving they were with baby Charlie. It was so sweet and simply melted my heart! We photographed almost the entire session in their nursery because it […]
