Beth, John and three little girls – Family Photography – Georgetown Waterfront, Washington, D.C.

I have worked with Beth, John and their children for so long, that they feel like family. We started together when Margaret, their youngest, was just a few months old. And now, over three years later, three beautiful girls, lots of trust, and a gorgeous and growing wall art display at their home. This is the stuff of a dream job.

Stacey and Mike – Engagement and Proposal Session – Washington, D.C.

  Mike came to me with a special request – to photograph his proposal to the love of his life, Stacey. We arranged a paparrazi-style proposal shoot, wherein I was positioned in just the right spot to capture the proposal but where she wouldn’t notice me. The proposal was perfect. Sweet and natural, intimate but in front of many hundreds of DC tourists. We…

Winter is Here….

All these months I have been waiting for a winter scene in which to bring out some clients and shoot them having fun. I heard recently about a friend of a friend who had an Iowa wedding…in December. Guests sat on bales of hay, monogrammed blankets were the party favors, the bride had a white fur stole. A photographers dream. At least this crazy…

Presidential Inauguration

Yesterday, over 2 million people descended upon our city to celebrate a moment that needs little extrapolation from me.

We’re putting together a sideshow with their images and interviews, to be posted on this…

I thought I would share the subsequent poem, spurred by this image of mine: …i think it’s great: CRASH—Free Write—Lights flash…
