Maternity Session | Fairfax, VA

I know, I know…This blog hasn’t seen a post in wayyyy too long so I am going to just jump right in here with this stunning soon to be family of four….

Another baby boy is on the way for Dr Jill and her family. Wouldn’t you agree growing a human looks pretty fabulous on her?

It was a bit chilly that morning but we had this beautiful sunlight after days of rain…

I am beyond grateful to document such an incredible time in this mama’s life. I can’t get over how beautiful she is…

Can’t wait to meet you little man!

Springfield, VA Family Session

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.

Alexandria Family Session

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.

Haymarket Senior Class of 2020

Because of Covid and the way things have played out for this year’s seniors, I had a lot of rescheduling going on. As soon as Virginia was given the go for non essential businesses to open, I was able to catch up on sessions and boy did it feel good. These three seniors from Haymarket, VA wanted to incorporate their home town into their images so we headed to the historic downtown area. This was the place where they have spent so much of their time while in Northern VA…Walking their dogs, going to school, working their first jobs and just grabbing a cupcake on a Sunday afternoon. As Mother Nature would have it, about 10 minutes in, the sky opened up and rain started to fall. We ran into our cars and waited for it to pass. Having the cloudy sky replace the beautiful sun was discouraging but what came next was so much better.

We rounded the corner to find the most perfectly placed rainbow. I’m pretty sure they all thought I was nuts loosing my mind over what had turned into an epic sky right above them.

“At that moment I though to myself,
no one deserved a rainbow
more than the Class of 2020!”

In what has been such an uncertain time for our seniors, this moment was one of hope. Cars honked and shouts came as we documented their milestone and we were lucky enough to get individual images before the rain began again. We left content and smiling. It really is a joy for me to be a part of these defining moments.

Senior Photographs | Fairfax, VA

PVI High School will close it’s doors after 35 years to move to it’s new home in Chantilly, VA. Being that Melea, her brother and her mother all attended high school here, it was the perfect location for her 2020 senior photography session.

What a year it has been for the Class of 2020. Yes, you have missed out on traditions and celebrations because of Covid-19, but you certainly aren’t forgotten. I really wanted Melea to have a great time at our session and to be left with some good memories of her time at PVI.

This fabulous, kind and driven honors student…What a joy it was to document this special time in her life. The Class of 2020 will never be forgotten. I am wishing her all the best as she heads off to The University of Mary Washington in the fall.
