Find the category you're looking for, or browse for hours! There's plenty to keep you entertained.

One thing I love about photography is how it brings people together – or back together, in some cases. I met Idelisse back in 2010 at trapeze class! Yes folks, I used to take trapeze lessons. But I digress. A mutual friend, Ricardo, introduced us when he invited Idelisse to one of our classes. So […]

So, apparently Greenwell State Park family photos are the thing to do in southern Maryland! Honestly, it’s worth coming from far and wide to take photos at this park because the views are stunning! I’m so happy Erin & her hubby, Mike, chose this spot for their family photos. It was the perfect backdrop to […]

While I try to count my blessings & recite my gratitude each and every day, this time of year is perfect for taking stock of all we have to be thankful for. This year I had the incredible honor and good fortune to take holiday photos for 25 local families. Typing that brings tears to […]

Family Photos at Potomac Overlook Regional Park One thing I love about being a photographer is getting to share places I enjoy & love with my clients. It’s even better when I can introduce them to places they have never been, because I love the idea that maybe they’ll enjoy it so much they’ll return […]

Washington, D.C. Cherry Blossoms Photographer Peak bloom of the Cherry Blossoms at the Washington, D.C. tidal basin have come & gone, but the photos I was able to capture this year will last a lifetime. The Mocheva family braved the crowds & the 40 degree temperature to meet up with me for family photos, and […]

Northern Virginia Family Photographer This is the last of my mini-session shoots for holiday photos that took place back in November at Long Bridge Park in Arlington, VA.  Crystal City to be exact. This park is one of my favorite places in Arlington, so I was super excited to get to shoot six sessions here spread […]

Maryland Newborn Photographer “Snips and snails and puppy dog tails, that’s what little boys are made of.” Or so the old saying goes. But baby Dom, though, if he’s made of anything, he’s made of baseballs, Ooh Rah, and cozy snuggles. He was born on a mid-autumn day in November of last year and I […]

Arlington, Virginia Family Photographer How excited do photographers get when clients show up color coordinated, adorable, and full of energy? Well I am here to tell ya: VERY. The Alexander family arrived to their family mini-session just before the holidays looking cohesive and excited to have their photos taken. The girls had on their matching […]

Northern Virginia Family Photographer As the east coast prepares for a winter storm – an actual blizzard – I’m reminiscing about a more mild, autumn storm from this past November. There wasn’t any snow, but much heavy rain fell in Arlington the day of my first mini-session day for family holiday photos. The Thielemans were […]

Washington, D.C. Photographer Putting together this year-in-review post was so much fun! And I realized: I became a freakin’ photographer this year! I mean, in my heart I’ve been one for years. In my mind I’ve been one for maybe a couple years. But this year, THIS year, 2015, I became a photographer in reality, […]
