It’s Columbus Day! Oh, and it’s Monday too. Monday’s go a little easier when it’s a holiday… I had a busy weekend so this Monday is like a lil’ vacation haha You never really hear that, do ya?! This weekend was the kickoff to my mini session marathon weekends and I got to meet some […]

Happy Monday & happy October! Autumn has certainly taken over here in the D.C. area, with chillier temps and brisk breezes. This weekend I became intimately familiar with this change in weather, as I spent a LOT of time outdoors! First at Oktoberfest and then at a shoot and a vineyard. I also became familiar […]

Here at REHP fall means it’s family mini session time! The time of year where I get to work with local families who are looking to create images they can add to their holiday cards and capture memories of their families just as they are at this very moment in time. With the fall mini […]

One of the beautiful things about living and working around Washington, D.C. is having the opportunity to meet people from all around the world! My life and my business have truly been enriched by getting to interact with people from cultures different than my own. I mention this because for this Capitol Hill family photos […]

I’ve had the honor of being voted Arlington’s Best Event Photographer for 2017 by the readers of the Sun Gazette (woot woot!), and if there’s one thing I’ve learned about photographing events, it’s that my cheeks are going to hurt by the end of the day! It’s events like this Texas Jack’s party for Eva’s […]

As a photographer, I’ve definitely kept a running photography bucket list in my head. Some items are on the larger scale side – like ‘try out travel photography in another country’ (check!), and others are smaller – like ‘do Bon Air Memorial Rose Garden family photos.’ Thanks to this sweet family of three, I was […]

You only turn one year old once, right? So might as well do it up! Ava’s mom, Kristen, and her family did a beautiful job planning Ava’s first birthday photos & party in Alexandria, VA, last weekend. There were unicorns, candy, bright colors everywhere, & even a cake to smash! All the trappings of a […]

I think I’ve said this before, and I may be biased (OK, I’m totally biased), but giving the gift of photography is such a sweet thing to do. You’re pretty much golden with whomever you’re giving the photography session to! Joe won some major brownie points, I’m sure, when he gave his wife, Natalie, Meadowlark […]

I love having the opportunity to capture multiple occasions in my clients’ lives! These Mamie Davis Park family photos are the perfect example of that! You will remember Kandis & Daniel from their National Mall engagement photos this spring. Well Kandis & Daniel also wanted to take family photos with Daniel’s daughter & Kandis’ soon-to-be […]
