Spring is here, and in the DC area, that means it’s time for cherry blossom portraits! As a Washington DC family portrait photographer, this is one of my favorite times of the year. The Tidal Basin is busy, but it’s worth navigating the crowds and traffic to create images like these! To plan your own […]

Winter is the perfect time for in-home lifestyle portraits! I’ve worked with the M family a few times now, and I knew the interior of their home would be perfect for a relaxed morning together. In-home portraits are fantastic for young families. The kids feel comfortable in the environment they know best, and there’s no […]

When it comes to scheduling your Washington DC cherry blossom engagement session at the Tidal Basin, a weekday at sunrise is a must! We braved cool temps, hordes of tourists, road closures and parking challenges, a sprinkle of rain, and a 4am wakeup call for Jena and Andrew’s engagement session. Our efforts paid off – […]

Spring has sprung in Washington, DC! The cherry blossoms are stars of the show around here, but if you ask me, the magnolia blossoms are even better. Saucer magnolias typically bloom about two weeks prior to the cherry blossoms, are a little pinker in color, and best of all: attract much smaller crowds. As a […]

This is the second of two Jane Austen inspired editorial shoots that I had the pleasure of photographing in the Cotswolds last summer! Julie Paisley hosted the most incredible retreat in the heart of the English countryside, and my jaw is still on the floor over these images. For this shoot, I wanted to embrace […]

With cherry blossom peak bloom dates being announced this week, it felt like the perfect time to share this very special series and the story behind it. These images are incredibly special to me, and it’s my hope that they bring you some joy, too! The Cherry Blossom series was created on March 16th, 2020. […]

It’s no secret that I’m a fervent Jane Austen fan. So when Julie Paisley released the mood boards for her retreats in the English countryside inspired by the Regency author’s novels, I had to be there! I’ll recap the full retreat in a separate post, but today, I’m focusing on an Emma inspired editorial that […]

Without a doubt, the best part of my job is having the privilege of documenting so many of my clients’ happiest milestones. I photographed Aili and Tom’s wedding in 2019, and now I get to have a front row seat as they embark on the journey of parenthood. These two are expecting their first baby […]
