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.
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.
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.
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. 🍁📸.
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.
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.
Three years ago in the peak of Covid these parents contacted me about doing a newborn session outdoors. While it was cold and windy, we made it work so we could capture this special time. Well, they now have welcomed a second baby girl and wanted to do an outdoor newborn session again.
I have been photographing this family for years, even before little sister arrived. These three kids are cute and sweet and even put up with A LOT of gnats buzzing around us. They were still giggles and laughs.
This is my second year photographing this family and I’m so glad I got to see them again. Both kids are fun and funny and were such good sports for our photos in beautiful Bishop’s Garden.
