Washington, D.C. Photographer Three days to Valentine’s Day and counting! Love is in the air and it’s reminding me of what a wonderful job I have being able to capture loving, romantic, exciting moments in people’s lives through the lens of my camera.

My goal during these sessions is to capture their essence as a family, whether across many photos […]
