Changed Lives.

These are two of my favorite girls.



Charlotte and Louisa are sisters.  They were both adopted from Eastern Europe and they both have Down syndrome.  They are also two of Ellie's best friends.


It's been my pleasure to photograph two adoption homecomings so far, and to watch these girls grow with the love of a mama and papa.


Sweet Lu (pictured above) has some big changes soon, though!  Her parents are adding TWO more little girls to the family.

You can learn more about their third adoption journey here.

Fairlington: Some Family Fun.

Last week, I had the opportunity to photograph one of the most fun families I've met.  How many dads can you convince to climb on the jungle gym with their tween daughters to get some fun shots?

I love the neighborhood that's been home to my family for the last five years, and I loved sharing the neighborhood with these new neighbors.







You can check out the full session here or on Facebook.  I love the coordinated Converse.  I hope you all have some good time to play this weekend.  Keep an eye on this space next week and the following week... I have some fun announcements coming up!

Fun and Laughter: Old Town Alexandria, Va

My favorite thing about my job (both my teaching job and my photography job) is the people I meet.

No exception with this family, who I've gotten to know over the past year.

I could not have asked for a more energetic or entertaining model.  Or a model who loves bright colors more.

B, thank you for always providing some laughter in my day.

Family Session: Home.

One of my favorite and least favorite things about my neighborhood is that everyone knows each other, but people are constantly moving in and out.  We have a huge military community, and this is my second session in just a few weeks for a family headed to their next home base!

This boy has the best facial expressions.

Sisters: Arlington, VA.

When this mom asked me to photograph her girls in their Indian clothes, I was excited.  The girls are lovely and made me excited that my own little girl will have a sister in a couple months.  

You can see their whole session here or on Facebook.  Sessions for August are filling up, but I have some availability in early September.
