Some families you get to photograph once, and then you get lucky enough to be invited back for another chapter. 🥹 I first met the Grimes family when they were my very FIRST cover feature family for Stroll Palisades Kent! We had the best time photographing their family among the cherry blossoms along Macomb Street, […]

A violinist. An art museum. And approximately a million gorgeous backdrops to choose from. SIGN ME UP. 🎻 Emily is a freelance violinist in DC, and we spent her portrait session exploring both wings of the National Gallery of Art, violin in hand! If you’ve never been to the NGA, first of all, WHAT ARE […]

Some families you photograph once, and then there are the families you get lucky enough to grow alongside. The Webb family is definitely one of those families for me. I first met Taura and Keaton when they welcomed their sweet boy, Shawn. I photographed his birth announcement, came back for their fall family photos, and […]

First of all, I adore Maya. Maya is an outstanding singer and a lead vocalist in the US Army Band “Downrange.” She owns a golden doodle that I’m infatuated with, learned how to swallow pills for the first time in 2024 (we’re so proud of you, babygirl), and is always game for “Mayaaaaa, I have an idea!!!”

When Caroline called and asked if I was available to photograph her wedding, to say I was thrilled was an understatement. When she mentioned their location was none other than the Washington National Cathedral- my jaw dropped. So obviously I said yes yes yes yes yes yes and we decided to mosey around the campus as part of their engagement session!
Claire was my first 2026 senior- a session I’ll truly never forget! First of all, I got called “ma’am” a million times, which made me feel super old… and I’l literally just a baby millennial. Ok fine, I’m actually pretty firmly an elder millennial but as Regina George’s mom says “I’m a COOL mom” big wink and Second of all, the whole family came along, including her sweet pup!
