This Glenview Mansion Maryland Family Session was a little different than many of my other sessions. I typically photograph newborns and toddlers, but this session was all about the teenagers. I love how this mother knew it was important to document her growing children, even in this older stage. It is so easy to let […]

This spring family session outside of Northern VA was simply a treat. Spring is one of the most magical times of the year. We live in an area where we are fortunate to have so many beautiful gardens all around. One of my absolute favorite locations to photograph is Brookside Gardens in Silver Spring, Maryland […]

This garden family photo session was so dreamy. Wisteria is one of my favorite florals, and we were graced with wisteria in peak bloom for this session. Brookside Gardens is a lovely location for Maryland family photography. It’s a short drive from DC and is beautiful in all seasons. I always recommend photographing sessions early […]

There are over 30 varieties of cherry blossom trees in the arboretum. […]

Cherry blossom season is equally the busiest but most beautiful time of the year, and this National Arboretum Cherry Blossoms Family Session did not disappoint.
