Best of 2018

2018 was amazing and so busy. My schedule was full of photo sessions, my kids have been getting more involved in various activities, and we have tried to spend family time in the midst of that.

Some favorite client images….

I also did a few special projects - kids with feeding tubes, documenting the gun violence prevention movement, and capturing a Make A Wish concert.

And of course, my own kids.

Christmas Gift: Baby Brother

Baby A had a dramatic entry into the world, and I am so thankful for him, his family, and the gift that he is to them.

Never have I ever seen a child so doted on.

Newborn at Home in Old Town

I’ve been neglecting this blog all month! Well, time to catch up and share this beautiful newborn session from early December! I met this family when I photographed big sister as a newborn, and I’ve been capturing them each year since. I love seeing families grow!

Family Meeting Santa

I take a break from photography in December, aside from newborns, so this space may be quiet for a bit. However, I had to share these images from the Shirlington Village Tree Lighting last night!

This was the best Santa ever! Ellie, age 7, has been back and forth about believing in Santa, but I think last night has her back squarely in the “real” category.

Holiday in Old Town: Alexandria, VA

The weather was freezing, but the Christmas decorations in Old Town were on (almost) full display on Black Friday. The tree was up but not yet lit, but greenery, ornaments, and lights were everywhere! We bundled up between shots, and mom knocked the outfits out of the park with the girls’ winter coats in Christmas colors!

Love and Laughs: A Carlyle House Session

When I see little N, who is almost three, love and laughs are the first two words that come to mind. He is so full of energy I don’t think he sat still once during our session (or maybe once for a bribe?) but he had me rolling with laughter. The last time I photographed him, he was nearly two, and the difference is amazing - he talks SO much now, and had so many observations to share with us.

His parents are also absolutely delightful, and I love having clients that have become friends!
