Coming Soon {Back to School Minis}

If you are like me (and most of the kids around here), you are counting down the days until school gets out.  But if you're like my kindergartener, you'll spend summer counting the days until school and friends!

Although it's hard to believe, I'm already planning my Back-to-School Mini Sessions on August 26.  You can sign up now here!

Sessions are $65 for the first child and $55 for each additional child.  They'll happen in Arlington, VA and must be paid in full to reserve a session date.

I can't wait for summer, but I know fall will sneak up like it always does!

Product Photography {Upping Your Instagram Game}

The majority of my work is portrait based, but I also work with various etsy shops to provide product photography.  Why bother, if the item being sold is a craft or decor item and not a photograph itself?

Because Instagram and other social media channels are what drive sales in many areas, and a pretty feed matters.

Check out these sample layouts.  Having a beautiful Instagram feed keeps customers interested and following along.  Contact me for pricing!

Clickin' Moms Clickin' Walk {Old Town Alexandria}

A few weeks ago, a site I follow posted about a walk for photographers happening at various locations all over the world.  I was thrilled to see that a walk was occurring in Old Town Alexandria, which happens to be one of my favorite photo locations.  I joined about ten other women, all great photographers, to walk around town with our cameras.  We captured the scenery and each other, we laughed, and despite the grey and overcast day, we had a great time.

You can check out all the photos by searching for the hashtag #ClickinWalk2017Alexandria

The Importance of Documenting Daily Life

I recently received a giant box of childhood photos.  By giant box, I mean 35 solid pounds of printed photographs, some in albums, from approximately 1980-1999.  Precious photos of cousins.  Out-of-focus photos of my brother's kindergarten classmates.  And daily life photos of my little brother and me, playing with our toys and making a mess in the backyard.

The final set is the most important to me.  Those daily life photos brought back the most memories and motivated a number of texts to my brother.

This month, I'm dedicated to documenting my kids at play.  Jumping and spinning on the carpet.  Running around the backyard.  Attempting to play baseball.

Contact me if you're interested in capturing the little moments with your own family.  I love joining you for an afternoon or evening of your everyday!

Three Under Three {Arlington, VA In-Home Newborn Photographer}

In March, I had the opportunity to photograph a family of four waiting to welcome a new little boy.  Well that sweet boy took his time, and two weeks after his due date, he arrived to meet his mommy, daddy, and twin big sisters.  On Sunday morning, I got to capture daily life with this sweet family of five!

I'm booking for weekdays and for a few June weekends, so contact me ASAP to schedule a session with your own little ones!
