Sometimes an overcast day is the best for photographs…
This awesome dad purchased a gift certificate for a full family session. Best gift ever!!! I am so happy we chose Lake Mercer in Springfield, VA for our location…
These strong and beautiful sisters were a dream to photograph.
I would like to personally thank this family for being so gorgeous, coordinated and easy to work with. Some color, some black and white, magical in- between moments and a whole lot of fun.
It was a big move from the city to the burbs for this beautiful family of three! Home is the place where your dreams start, where your love and hope lives…How lucky am I to have the opportunity to document this amazing and exciting time.
Little P lead us all around the house so we could get images to tell their story…
Even the outtakes make it to the gallery!
Leaving this session restored my faith in 2020…I am wishing this family all the memories, all the laughs and all the best as they start this new journey together.
I know baking with your kids is supposed to be this miraculous bonding experience where you channel all of your ancestors and all of the kitchen gods. You’ve seen all the Instagram posts where the work space is immaculate, the kids are dressed up and clean and everyone is laughing and having a grand time. There are Pinterest worthy treats at the end of course and the kids are just so grateful for the time spent with you right?
I wish you could see my eyes rolling right now. I would say 9 out of 10 times I have agreed to bake with my kids, it’s not quite like the scenario I have described. Projects take about 5 times as long as you planned, there’s a good chance you do not have all the ingredients on hand and the mess that inevitably takes an hour to clean up, well that’s the best part right? Despite all of that, you still do it.
You do it because they are so excited to create something new. You do it to keep them busy and off of the electronics. You do it because their little hands are just so darn cute. You do it because you realize how fast the time is going and soon they won’t be living under your roof. You do it because who really cares about flour all over the floor…it’s really not the big of a deal.
You do it for the tradition, the memories and of course the yummy treat at the end…Regardless of how perfect or imperfect it looks.
My independent and creative girl loves to bake and I will continue to say yes for as long as she wants me to.

To kick off this Mother's Day weekend, I thought I would look back on images of my favorite moments with some of the fabulous Moms I have had the pleasure of working with. There is so much love in these photos and I hope you will see and feel that. Moms, I know you don't always want to get in front of the camera, I know you're tired and don't always feel picture perfect. I'm here to tell you your children do not care! It's you they want to remember. The incredible human who sacrificed everything for them and was there sharing in these moments that really seem to fly by. I myself can't truly believe I have three of my own in double digits.The best feeling in the world is when Mom receives photographs from me and she loves them. It means we have made connections and frozen them in time. I am so thrilled to be able to create these memories for you Mamas... It really is everything. I am grateful to you for trusting me and I wish you the most appreciated and relaxed Mother's Day. You deserve it!!
Our girl turns 10 today! Truth be told...these images were taken two weeks ago when the cherry blossom trees that line our driveway were just about in full bloom...
Yes, I said my driveway!!!!!
Here in DC, the blossoms are a pretty big deal and aren't they just the perfect backdrop for some Spring Birthday images?
Happy Birthday to the little Korean whole stole our hearts. She destroys the house, she's acquiring a real sassy attitude and she likes junk food way too much but she's kind compassionate and has brought sunshine into every day. I'll never know how we got so lucky.
I can't wait for Spring but I am more excited for sessions to begin. I start early, before the big day so you can rest easy and not stress! Theres's a lot going on the day of the ceremony especially if you get the 8:30 AM mass and it's hard to grab all of the photographs you may want. It's so nice to be able to relax and enjoy this special day in your little one's life knowing you have captured your memories! Invitations or Thank-you Cards!I have celebrated 3 times with my own kids and it was so nice to have images ready for my Thank you cards. I can help with print products such as enlargements and albums too because as I always say, printing your images and getting them off our devices is everything!
