This post highlights the best DC playgrounds in DC, as well as Maryland and Northern Virginia. I have three young kids and my husband Zach is a teacher, so we spend almost all summer at playgrounds in the DMV. I’ve made this list of my top 3 favorite playgrounds in the DMV – one in […]

A few weeks ago I put out a question on Instagram asking moms what their favorite baby items were. I have my own favorites, but my youngest, CeCe, is now two years ago, so I wasn’t sure if I was up-to-date on the latest and greatest baby things! I had a lot of responses, and […]

Deep breaths. I still feel vulnerable talking about this delicate time from a couple of years ago, but as I’ve grown as a mother and as a person, I know the beauty sharing our story brings, especially to other mothers. I frequently share about how romantic motherhood is. I do believe there is so much […]

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 […]

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.

Rosalie, “Rosie,” has added such a joy to our lives. She was born two months before COVID hit, so she was a light during many dark days (along with her silly brother!). Rosie was always our girl name, so when we found out she was a girl, we knew she would be Rosie. We weren’t […]

If you know anything about me or my brand, you know I love DC antique finds. There is something about the old world that has a tangible nostalgia, and I simply adore that in items that were once loved. The wonderful aspect about vintage goods is what they can be. Even if they appear falling […]

As a DC Motherhood Photographer, there are so many rewarding aspects to the job. I adore documenting the connection between parents and their little ones, and it is not lost on me how fleeting this time is. We can often get caught up in the day-to-day mundane elements of parenthood. This can feel draining, exhausting, […]

I know this title is pretty click-bait-y, but it is a true story, I promise! Zach and I bought an impromptu trip to Iceland the year Perry was born. We knew we wanted to start a family soon but weren’t sure when that would exactly happen, so we hopped on a deal when we saw […]

I choose to incorporate family photography on film for my sessions because I adore film photography for many reasons. Film is quite different than digital photography, and these differences are part of why I enjoy it. I also love photographing my own family on film. I will often carry around my 35mm camera to document […]
