Family of Four {Washington DC Family Photographer}

I had the pleasure of working with one of my favorite repeat families for a fall photo session at Bishop’s Garden in Washington, DC. Their two young boys, full of energy and smiles, brought the garden to life as they ran through the vibrant autumn leaves and explored the beautiful scenery. It’s always such a joy to see familiar faces return, and this session was no exception, with each shot capturing the love and connection that grows year after year. The stunning fall backdrop at Bishop’s Garden perfectly complemented the family’s warmth, making for another unforgettable set of memories.

The Perfect Combination of Baby and Dog {Washington DC Family Photographer}

Ever since I moved to Silver Spring, Maryland, I have mostly stopped doing photos in Virginia. But once in a while a trip to Virginia is worth it for a very special session. Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing this adorable 4-month-old baby boy and his family’s playful Goldendoodle in Virginia. Can you believe his big smile? The combination of the baby’s sweet expressions, the parents loving looks, and the vibrant fall foliage created the perfect setting for a memorable photo shoot.

One Year Old Fun {Washington DC Family Photographer}

This little dude will forever have a special place in my heart. I did his newborn session on Capitol Hill just days before I gave birth to my own daughter—so basically, we were both going through it. I’ve loved seeing him morph into a happy and busy toddler. This time, we lucked out with a picture-perfect Washington, DC fall day—crunchy leaves, golden light, and one very photogenic goofball. 🍁📸.

Fun Fall Family Session {Washington DC Family Photographer}

I met this family for the first time before their daughter was even born. All three kids are hilarious and I love photographing them every year at Bishop’s Garden in Washington DC. They keep me on my toes and we’re always laughing by the end.

New Family of Three {Washington DC Newborn Photographer}

I had the absolute honor (and joy!) of photographing this adorable new trio in Brookland. Baby M totally stole the show—she was awake, asleep, and somehow nailing every pose like she read the shot list ahead of time. A total pro. Her parents? Just as delightful. And don’t even get me started on their condo—sunlight for days and a nursery so cute it could have its own Instagram account. Washington, DC never looked so cozy!

Washington DC Garden Maternity Session {Washington DC Maternity Photographer}

I loved meeting these parents to be! They had an idea of what they were looking for when it came to maternity photos and I hope I was able to capture what they want. I know some people are hesitant to get maternity photos done since you are not always feeling your best. But this time is so fleeting and maternity photos are one of the best ways to remember it.

New Baby in Chevy Chase {Chevy Chase Newborn Photographer}

This fam and I go way back—like, "tiny newborn in a swaddle" back. Their daughter (now a 5th grader?!) was one of the very first newborns I ever photographed, and yes, she was already serving cuteness and camera-ready vibes back then. Since then, I’ve had the joy of meeting her two little bros—each one bringing more adorable chaos than the last. The older siblings were so proud to show off their brand-new baby brother, and honestly, I think they might’ve been better photo assistants than me. Watching this family grow over the years has been such a treat, and getting to capture another sweet chapter in their Chevy Chase, MD home was the best.

Little Baby Girl {Washington DC Newborn Photography}

This tiny little babe was an absolute dream to photograph—like, straight out of a baby modeling agency (if that’s a thing… and if not, it should be). Her parents scored some serious natural light in their DC row house bedroom—rare and magical, like finding parking in the city. She snoozed like a pro when we needed her to, then popped those eyes open just long enough to say, “Okay, you’ve got the shot, now back to my nap.” 😴

I don’t do the whole baby-as-a-burrito-in-a-basket thing, but I do love capturing them all snuggly and snoozing—and this little one totally understood the assignment. If only all Washington, DC newborns were this peaceful…

Morning in Chevy Chase {Chevy Chase Family Photographer}

I love seeing this crew every year—they’re basically photo session VIPs at this point. I’ve been photographing them since big brother was a tiny newborn, back in their classic DC row house days. Now we’ve all upgraded to Chevy Chase, and I’m so happy we’re still making photo magic together.

These boys? 100% wiggles, 1000% giggles. Every session is part workout, part comedy show, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. So glad we get to freeze all the fun (and the chaos) year after year!

This is Three Years Old {Washington DC Family Photographer}

I met this family almost a year ago when I went to their Washington DC apartment to do their newborn photos for their new baby boy. Well now he is already sitting up and a big bonus: it happened to be big brother’s third birthday. What a fun way to make the special day!
