Welcoming baby sister into the world, this beautiful family celebrated with a cozy newborn photo session in their Washington, DC home. Big sister, just three years old, beamed with pride as she gently held her new baby sister, already stepping into her new role with love and curiosity. Between snuggles and giggles, the bond between siblings began to bloom right before the camera and I’m so happy we could capture this chapter in their family’s life.
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.
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!
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.
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.
