Y’all, it’s tough to find a good hair stylist in the D.C. area! It baffles the mind. Think about it. People from all over the world come here to live, work, play, pro-create, govern, be diplomatic. You would think you could find plenty of good hair stylists! But in my eleven years living in Arlington & […]

Being part of a group of motivated business people who are happy to network & look out for your business with the same intensity as they garner business for themselves is such a wonderful opportunity. One such business venture my local chapter of BNI recently put together was an event for northern VA Realtor headshots […]

What a better way to get familiar with your new home town than to schedule a photo session where you can enjoy a beautiful local park?! Gina wanted to capture some north Arlington holiday photos with her family to commemorate their recent arrival to the area. I met up with her & her crew on […]

One of the (many) fun aspects of owning a business is my newfound involvement in the community where I live – Arlington, VA. From participating in a local networking group to exploring the area on my outdoor shoots to meeting local families, it’s all been so eye opening! The opportunities I’ve had to do all […]

I think it says a lot about a family when they are willing to invite you into their home, their neighborhood, to capture holiday family photos. It makes so much sense, right?

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.

One thing I learned from having the opportunity & privilege of photographing these Persian wedding day details at the Bellevue Conference & Event Center in Chantilly, VA, was that love translates. The entire day, from the getting ready chatter to the ceremony and after-dinner speeches, was in Farsi. You may not know this about me, but… I […]

So, Old Town Alexandria headshots might be my new favorite thing. There’s something about walking along the cobblestone sidewalks in such a historic town that’s managed to stay current at the same time. History is mixed with modern day cool in the form of hip restaurants, unique boutiques, & fashionable passersby. During this most recent […]

I love working with clients who know what they want but are still open to letting me do my thing, make suggestions, and trust my experience & expertise. Josh was one of these clients! His Old Town Alexandria headshots session went nice & smooth because he was great at communicating what he was looking for […]

I am a total patriot. I just love my country, warts & all. So much so I even chose the Patriots as ‘my’ football team even though I’m from nowhere near New England! haha I think it stems from my having lived in Spain as a child with my family while my stepdad was in […]
