First Communion | Washington, DC

It was pouring rain all day long! That didn’t stop us, however, from getting beautiful First Communion photographs…

Little Miss J was absolute perfection from head to toe for her sweet First Communion Day at Our Lady of Victory Church in DC…

I was so honored to create these images for her and her family.

Lorton Workhouse Arts

I was so excited to see these two again at The Workhouse Arts in Lorton, VA

The coolest brother / sister team ever…

There is an incredibly strong bond between J and V…

Almost 18 and almost 14…What a great time to document. I am always thrilled when parents reach out to me for images of their teens. It seems like we take so many photographs when our babies are young and as they grow, life happens and we just don’t take as many.

Aren’t they just gorgeous?!

I hope mom and dad love these as much as I do! I was so happy to have them in front of the camera.

They are both strong and confident with such kindness towards one another. Everything you want your teens to be.

Since it was the very start of spring, we met at 5:30. We made our way around the birdwatchers and nature photographers and took advantage of the dappled light. There is even a beautiful walkway over the water…
