Carrie & Harrison were two of my brave morning warriors. They opted for a sunrise session to avoid those crazy afternoon cherry blossom crowds. As a night owl, I think anyone who volunteers to get up before 8am is brave, but it was more than the morning hour that made Carrie & Harrison the BRAVEST! […]

What’s one of the best ways to get GENUINE interaction in your engagement photos? Choose a location where you would naturally hang out! That’s exactly what Em & Brad did! We spent the late afternoon strolling around the DC neighborhood where they live. They walk those streets hand-in-hand all the time…this time I was just […]

I met Ali + Jay for the first time over a facetime video chat. They were looking for a DC area photographer to capture their Delaware wedding, and I knew instantly that I was going to like them! They were laid back yet engaging, comfortable yet undeniably in love. I always jump for joy when a couple tells me how […]

I absolutely love photographing milestones in the lives of children. At the age of one, when they’re so rapidly changing, what could be more important than capturing all the unique expressions, movements, and characteristics that make each child so special? This “first birthday” photo shoot was even more precious to me because I got to witness all of […]

I love family photography. I love that it allows parents to hold on to more than just the way their kids looked at a given point in time. They’ll remember how the little one had such an innate fun-loving spirit to go along with her wild and crazy hair. (I couldn’t get enough of that […]

Ceyda and Yoshi are the type of people that I LOVE to work with. Some people just smile, no prompting required – they can’t help it! That’s C+Y. They smile, laugh, love, and it’s clear that they bring out the best in each other. Their future little guy is one lucky baby, and I can’t wait […]

Man, do I love a newborn session! Throw in a cute pup and some adoring parents…I’m on cloud nine! Stella was a little star during our newborn shoot at this family’s Maryland home. She snoozed like a champ and gave us some pretty awesome dream smiles throughout the afternoon. (Plus, check out those perfect tiny […]

I had such a blast walking around the Georgetown waterfront and canal for the Hooper family photoshoot! We lucked out with a beautiful day and actually managed to spot some of the last remaining fall foliage. Little Erin (love that girl’s name!) was just the coolest kid with the biggest smile. I love photographing families who […]

Those. Suspenders. Need I say more? (Not to mention a pair of beautiful baby blues and the world’s cutest fluff hat.) Baby Max was a stunner at our winter family session, and his parents were pretty awesome to hang out with (and photograph) too! We started off the day at the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art. […]

Cloudy. Misty on-again-off-again rain. Low 30’s. Heavy winds. Sounds like perfect engagement photography weather, right? Well despite waking up with the sun on the coldest day so far this year, Liz and Dan were super troopers who didn’t complain once. Liz even brought along her BFF for this sunrise session, who was equipped with hand warmers and […]
