They tell us this happens but we never really know until we are right there in the thick of it.2Z9A96292Z9A9554I'm so honored when families welcome me into their homes to share a piece of their daily life with me.  It truly is the best.  Welcome Baby Elizabeth!

Mini Sessions | Northern VA Photographer

Because you asked...You probably know I'm a full session fan, documenting all the things and all the connections, but I get it...Fall can be busy and the next thing you know it's Thanksgiving and you never got that great photograph you wanted to use for your cards. For this I am opening two days for minis.  Email or message me if you would like to grab your spot.  Location TBA!!IMG_6959
