When planning your family photo session, there’s so much to think about. From locations, to the perfect outfits, to what time of day and who’s going to be taking your photos, a lot is already happening in the planning process. As a family photographer, I’ve also learned that the stress of family photos doesn’t end […]

The H Family is just the sweetest! They’re about to welcome baby #2, so we met for a gorgeous Lake Kittamaqundi maternity photos together to celebrate this big life change. Both mom and dad are nature lovers (and so is their little girl!), so it was important to find somewhere that would speak to their […]

In the DMV, many locations that my clients and I both love require photography permits. While planning a session, it can feel annoying or overwhelming to think about “one more thing” to organize before your session, photography permits really do matter. These locations use them for a variety of reasons. From maintaining the location, supporting […]

I’m not going to lie – one of my favorite messages to receive from a family is: “I have news, we are expecting.” My second most favorite message is: “Will you photograph our family when the baby arrives?” I absolutely love photographing families as they grow – whether it’s a new family to me, or […]

Over the years my style has evolved like any artist. I have noticed a pattern of what my eye gravitates towards and when certain elements bring my photography style to life. I’m now known for my light and airy photos that capture families in action together. While I’m responsible for bringing a lot of that […]

This winter, I made sure to practice what I preach, and we planned our own family photo session. We hired the incredible Natasha of NPS Photography to capture a lifestyle session in our home. She’s so talented and an in-home lifestyle guru, if you ask me. So, it was special to have her come and […]

As a mom of two littles who are growing way too fast, mom and me photos are so special to me. When this beautiful mama reached out to me about documenting her 8-month-old, I couldn’t say no to a fun session in the wildflowers. We had about a week to be ready once she booked […]

This summer, my family and I spent some time on the beach in Delaware. As our trip (and summer) came to a close, I wanted to capture a few portraits of us on the beach to celebrate. This particular beach has such beautiful sunsets, so I knew that I wanted it to be in the […]

Spring family portrait season is upon us! As sessions get booked, one of the most important questions to ask is WHERE you plan to have your family photos! Northern Virginia, in particular, is full of so many beautiful options – you can’t go wrong with any of them – and most importantly, there’s something for […]

I’ve now had the honor of photographing this family three times this year! Everytime I get to see them is always a wonderful time. You might recognize them from their snowy maternity session! This time, we got together for an extended family session as a gift for Abuela. She has four grandbabies ranging from under […]
