I met the Dixons at Bon Air Park on Friday for their third family session with me! I always love working with this super kind family, but this session was extra special because of what Dad brought along…

I photographed this sweet family back when we lived in New York and now they’re stationed here in the DC so I got to…

I met this adorable little family at a tiny park in Arlington earlier this week! These sweet brothers played and giggled and…

Most of my clients tend to be disappointed if their session day comes along and it’s cloudy. I get it, that golden back-lighting is gorgeous, but don’t discount the beauty of an overcast day…

The rain stopped in Vienna this morning JUST in time for my session with the McQuiggs! Meadowlark Gardens was cloudy and cool and just…

This morning we met bright and early at the Army Navy Country Club here in Arlington. We raced the crew setting up for two weddings later in the day, but managed…

As I was leaving at the end of their session, mom made a comment about having been adopted later in her childhood (age 12) and that family photos of her kids are very important to her since she doesn’t have any from when she was their age.

You may remember their sneak peek from earlier this month, but it’s time for the full show with their completed film and gallery! Please have a look at the adorable mini film and highlight images from the Ouart’s session…

This morning, I met the lovely Purdys here for their fourth family session with me! I have loved watching their family of little ladies grow over the years and they always leave me belly laughing at some point during their sessions.

Their eldest daughter, Tova was the perfect little assistant. Checking the back of my camera to see how each image was turning out and asking what she should do for the next picture. I could have photographed her all day long (especially with those perfect, bouncy curls!!)

At the end of their session, Mom mentioned that they have chickens in their backyard, and I foolishly thought she meant toy chickens…Nope, real deal! I just had to let their session run over time to capture the kids with their backyard friends!

When clients agree to sunrise sessions my heart just sings! Light in the early morning is low and soft while the air is still cool and fresh. The Curtis’ met me at Bon Air Park in Arlington for just that kind of session this morning!

My calendar has been full of BOYS lately! And as a boy mom too, I’m in love with it. The Ouarts and their two sweet sons welcomed me into their home this morning for some photos and video. Mom mentioned that this felt like “a day in the quarantine life” as we…
