I cannot get enough of this adorable family with their little man cubs. They arrived in their matching white on kakis, flashed their squishy smiles, and that was it! I was a puddle on the floor…

2023 DMV Model Call | Searching for engaged and married couples, or professional models for DC area portrait sessions and a styled wedding.

Since the start of the year I’ve been working with a recipe developer and to say it has been fun would be an understatement! I am thoroughly enjoying trying new recipes and shooting for her on a weekly basis. It has also pushed me into doing a more light and airy style than what I did before.

If only I could bottle up the newborn sweetness and keep it forever! There really is nothing like having, holding, and caring for a newborn baby – and, in my case – photographing a newborn! Newborn sessions are unique in that they are so peaceful…

It’s not often I get the opportunity to take senior photos. When Nicole asked me about doing her senior portraits, of course I said, “YES!” I used to babysit Nicole when she was THREE! She was my little photo muse when I was taking my very first film classes in high school. I can hardly believe this girl is now a grown up, beautiful young lady, and freshly graduated from high school. Now, she babysits my babies! What is this life?

I came home from Greece with a full schedule of shooting, editing, client meetings, and so much laundry (ha!). Meeting this sweet couple and their *adorable* new puppy, Teddy, was the best way to kick off such a marathon!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day for Nick and Emilia’s engagement session at the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. We chatted pastries and wedding plans, and were surprised how quickly the time had passed…

Is it possible to leave a newborn session without baby fever? (The answer: No!)

This lifestyle newborn session took place at their home in Northern Virginia when baby girl was seven whole days new! Her mom and dad were calm, joyful, and their home – peaceful. One of the greatest gifts of my job is being with families during their most joyful moments such as these; when they are bursting with the love and joy of new life! This sweet baby is blessed to have two parents that love her so! May God bless this sweet family always! This sweet baby is so blessed to have two parents that love her so! May God bless this sweet family always!

After much research and taking Covid restrictions into consideration, I realize that realistically, I am only able to offer ONE day of Cherry Blossom Mini’s. Given the popularity of these sessions and the circumstances of our time, I have decided to offer an additional option of private bloom sessions in hopes of capturing both the plethora of pink magnolias that bloom prior to the cherry blossoms, as well as the cherry blossom themselves!

Calm and poised with a peaceful joy – that is how I would describe this beautiful mama awaiting baby number two. Our time together in the studio passed by quickly as we chatted about our moves to Virginia…
