As a military spouse, I love getting to do military promotions. They are such a special time commemorating the hard work of not just the military member, but his or her family, as well. I remember looking for a military promotion photographer who could easily get onto to base for my husband’s promotion on Andrews […]
Lifestyle Newborn Sessions | Baby Ronak {Seven Days Old}
If you don’t know how I run lifestyle newborn sessions, this post is for you. Lifestyle newborn sessions are a mix of documentary, lifestyle, and portraits. They last two hours long, and they can be lots of fun even though the parents are stressed and sleep deprived! During these sessions, I like the babies to […]
Engagement Session at Cylburn Arboretum | L + B
Back in fall of 2019, Liz wrote me wanting an engagement session at Cylburn Arboretum. She was excited to be planning her spring 2021 wedding, and she had always loved this spot. They couldn’t hold their wedding here, but she wanted it to be part of their engagement session. Who knew at that time what […]
Engagement Session at Bear’s Den Overlook | J + D
When D wrote me wanting an engagement session at Bear’s Den Overlook in Bluemont, Virginia, I was game, but I was also nervous because I knew that I would never be able to get out there to scope out the location. Luckily, the DC photography world is amazingly nice, and a colleague had just done […]
Jones Point Park – The W Family| Alexandria Family Photographer
Jones Point Park has been a favorite location of mine for years, but because of the pandemic, I haven’t had as many shoots in Alexandria. I love the history of Jones Point Park, and because I was at this session early, I spent some time documenting the venue, too. I usually work with a lot […]
Maryland Wedding Photographer | Love in a Pandemic
Their wedding, like many 2020 weddings, was complicated by Covid. Her real wedding dress didn’t arrive on time. They did not get photos. Plans had to be changed, and like many of the 2020 weddings this year they had to be flexible. As a Maryland wedding photographer, I saw this happen over and over last […]
Southern Maryland Family Photographer | The M Family
As a Southern Maryland family photographer, I cherish the opportunity to work with returning clients, and I was so excited that a family that I did a tree farm session with in 2019 chose a full hour long family session for 2020. The traditional sessions allow for so much more time for me to create […]
Rustic Southern Maryland Wedding | C + A
Courtney and Alec had the most spectacular rustic Southern Maryland Wedding last Saturday at Far Cry Farm in Lexington Park! While the temperatures were great, the rain made for a soggy landscape, and we saw our share of clouds, but that didn’t remotely dampen the energy or spirits of this wedding! (Plus, isn’t it lucky […]
Extended Family Session in NOVA
I love how the military connects people, and this extended family session in NOVA happened because my client saw my work on a mutual friend’s page. (BTW, I reward referrals! My friend has received good discounts and prints for bringing so many friends to me!) I first documented their daughter’s birthday in NOVA (still need […]
DC Area Lifestyle Newborn Photographer | Oliver William {20 Days Old}
Even though I often work as a DC area lifestyle newborn photographer, the pandemic kept me from taking too many newborn shoots since March. I did just two newborn shoots this past summer, and both were for friends. I wanted to be cautious about going into someone’s home with a tiny baby whose immune system […]
