On a perfect crisp fall morning, this little curly haired babe brought pure joy to his family photo session. The golden leaves at Rock Creek Park were the perfect backdrop for this family’s first photo session. Between leaf tosses and tight family hugs, their love and laughter shone through in every frame. It was a beautiful reminder that the best photos often come from the smallest, unscripted moments.
Rock Creek Park Family Photo Session {Washington DC Family Photographer}
This local DC family’s photo session was a joyful whirlwind of laughter, wiggles, and candid moments. With three young kids under eight, there was a lot of jumping and chatting. My goal was to capture sweet sibling hugs and spontaneous silliness in the golden hour light and I’d say we aced it!
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.











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!













Chevy Chase Family Back Yard Session {Chevy Chase Family Photographer}
These are very old friends of mine. In fact, I was there when they first met. They now have this beautiful family and wanted to get updated family photos as a birthday gift. I thought this was a great idea and I love that we could make a beautiful summer evening work-easier with bigger kids. Of course, having a big beautiful backyard to use helped too. If you can swing a summer evening session, I highly recommend it.




















Four Months of Baby Girl {Chevy Chase Family Photographer}
This was the perfect time to photograph this little girl. People often ask when the best time to photograph your baby is? The easy answer: there is no bad time! She smiled and cooed and was loved on by her parents and grandparents. It was a beautiful Chevy Chase morning to capture this loving family.
