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…

Happy Days

My favorite sessions are the third or fourth with the same family. It’s amazing to see a mother-to-be being a mother, seeing an infant become a toddler, and seeing an engaged couple become united at their wedding. As such, it was so great to work with these guys again for my third session with them in a year! By the way – how amazing…

Heidi and Myles – The Mansion at Strathmore | Bethesda, Maryland Wedding Photographer

What a wedding! Heidi and Myles had a picture perfect ceremony and reception,  filled with personal details and lots of love.     The Girls: The Boys: The Ring Bearer: Get a load of his tux! He did a great job walking down the aisle and delivering the rings to the best man.  Myles and Heidi told me that they dress up their pooch at…

Let the Sun Shine In

As we come upon the fall – so rapidly – here are some of the faces I have met over the last week. Some of secrets told.. Of brotherhood shared… Of the moments before… Of impending adolescence… Of moments with family…spread far and wide… Of the wide-eyed wonderment of youth… and of a fall…blossoming with new beginnings… see you on the 24th at our…

Fall Flowers

The rain held off this morning, and we got these beautiful overcast skies and bright colors at a really fun mini session. Rachel and Russ held the session at their home, and invited over some friends who have been a part of the same parents group since their kids were just a few weeks old. Rachel has this great home in DC that provided…

Cora and Alden

I had the pleasure of working with close friend and PR guru Amber Pfau (owner of Amber Pfau Communications) this afternoon. The focus were her beautiful children, as though there could be any other focus with them around. I have to say, as I was shooting these, I thought back to how many times I look at pictures of me with my brother and…

Candy Colored Houses and Jolly Rancher Eyes

I had the great joy of working with Daily Candy Editor Erin Hartigan this morning for a fun photoshoot. In addition to the first three notes of every good song produced in the 1970’s, a list of shoot locations always floats around in my head. For this beautiful spring days shoot, a nearby wonderful street loaded with endless colorful rowhouses seemed like the perfect…

Giggles, pouts and reconciliations

I had a great shoot yesterday to ring in this new spring weather. Headed down to the waterfront in Old Town, Alexandria, with family Melody, Kyle, Aya and big sister Maddie. We had a blast enjoying the 70 degree weather and sunshine, after being socked (and i say that relatively…) with 4 inches of snow on Tuesday. These guys were so much fun and…
