I met this adorable little family at a tiny park in Arlington earlier this week! These sweet brothers played and giggled and…
Sneak Peek | Baby Anna
To say Anna was the most alert newborn I’ve photographed would be an understatement. This little 10-day-old wanted nothing to do with…
Sneak Peek | McDonnell Family
Such a bittersweet session! I’ve been photographing this crew since the year we moved here when Chrissy was pregnant with tiny Gwen! Her and my twins ended up being born…
Sneak Peek | Lok Family
You’ll see Oliver’s pacifier and favorite show, Daniel Tiger make some cameos below, but that’s just life with a toddler. Thank you to the Loks for…

It’s always intimidating to photograph for a fellow photographer, but Darcy’s sweet, laid back family made for a fun, easy session in DC last night…

Mini + Film | Asoni Family
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. This comment definitely stayed with me as I edited their images this week…

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…
Titus Family | Baby Shower
This mama-to-be was FIVE years old when I started dating my husband back in the day and now she and her awesome husband are about to be parents. It’s still hard to believe sometimes that she’s not that little girl crashing me and Bill’s dates anymore!
