As a fine art maternity, newborn, and family photographer here in our nation's capital, DC, I carry enormous pride in preserving your family's legacy. Just as your memories will serve as styled art in your home, consider this journal a haven to display remembrances of our time together.
I want my family documented...
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 […]
I adore the opportunity to chat and connect with mothers during the photo session experience, and often, we end up talking about a mom’s labor and delivery and postpartum experiences. As a mother of three children myself, I know all too well how impactful these experiences can be on a mother’s postpartum journey and recovery. […]
There are so many amazing DC doulas to choose from to make part of your birthing experience. I was fortunate enough to have a doula during my third birth, and it made such a world of difference in my experience – I wish I chose to have one for my first two births! In this […]
I’m going to be featuring Northern Virginia Doulas in this blog post, each with its unique approach to nurturing and supporting mothers through pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.

Wow, it’s hard to believe I am entering the 7th(!!!!!) year of my business. I feel so grateful for the growth and prosperity this business has experienced, especially knowing that most businesses don’t make it past the first 7 years. 2022 was the best year yet of my business, yet I have even bigger plans […]
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 […]
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 […]
