This studio motherhood session was the perfect way to close out my season before entering maternity leave. Hilary and her daughter Therese are good friends of our family, and it is always a joy to be able to photograph these kinds of sessions for those close to us! Hilary actually made the backdrop I currently […]

Here is a little preview of this beautiful mother and daughter session photographed in the petite garden studio. Hilary is a good friend of mine, so it was an honor to photograph her and her sweet little girl. Hilary also created the gorgeous backdrop I have in studio. It was so lovely to be able […]

This studio motherhood session was such a joy to photograph. Claire and her daughter Wells visited the Washington DC studio a couple of months ago for a special motherhood session. Claire is pregnant with her second and wanted to document this remaining time with Wells as her only daughter. I remember feeling this sweet tug […]

I was so excited to share a preview of this motherhood session in the studio! This special session captured the period of waiting for Claire, who is pregnant with her second child.
