The Mancari Family – Arlington, Virginia Lifestyle Family Photography

Sessions like this are why I love photography. I spent a lovely, sunny morning with this beautiful family in their Arlington row home photographing their life as a young family. I really believe that there is something raw and beautiful about every day life and love using photography as a way to capture it. I see photographs like these as heirlooms for future generations and as a time capsule for …

Bath Time – Lifestyle Baby Session

This adorable little girl turned one this month and, of course, to celebrate we took some adorable photos. My favorite images of her are from her ‘pre-photo’ bath because, well, they make me smile. I loved capturing her bath time because it is a huge part of her family’s life right now – but it won’t always be. I hope her mom looks back at these photos some day when …

This session was extra special for me because Jason …

Joe & Jeanyne : Washington, DC Engagement Session

I spent some time this weekend with the lovely Joe and Jeanyne over in Eastern Market for their engagement session. They are an adorable couple who met while working in Guatemala. How cool is that? It was 25 degrees the morning of our session but I am pretty sure the wind chill made feel significantly colder. They were such troopers as we took photos without coats on though! We started …

Cherry Blossom Engagement

This past spring I met up with Chelsea and Hunter by the National Mall for a sunrise engagement shoot with the famous DC cherry blossoms. It was the first day of peak bloom, so don’t let these photos fool you, it was insanely crowded around the cherry trees. We got creative with positioning and framing in order to take photos without tourists and landscape photographers in every shot, and we …
