Personally, I edit my images so that they are...

I moved from being a photographer who gives my clients discs with the option to print them at their leisure or through me, to being a full-service photographer. This has prompted some questions from both past clients and prospective clients, so I've decided to blog about this transition and why it is the best thing for both my business AND my clien...

This session made me get a little more creative because the park was full of t...

This family is always fun to work with. They are just the sweetest! When Mom contacted me to do their family portraits this year, we discussed the look that she was going for and settled on going to Claude Moore Park because it would be easier to get the feel of "fall" in our typical warm Northern Virginia October. That was such a great decision be...

Ok, so this is possibly my favorite session from this season. Lindsay is a fellow photographer with Kloepping Photography and had talked about how hard it is to capture your own children because of the dreaded Photographers Child Syndrome.

I got to photograph her big sister two years ago and was so honored when her parents contacted me to photograph their newest addition, as well!

This session was a mini-session for one of my favorite sets of twins. I've been photographing these boys for a few years now and every session is a high energy adventure. Morven Park is, once again, a favorite location because it makes it so easy to keep the focus on my subjects, while allowing the background to be a beautiful addition to the image...

Next up in my favorite fall sessions is this awesome session!
Last year, I did a family session at this location and fell in love with it. The family did not want me to share their images online and because I always respect that request for privacy, I wanted to re-create the session using a model. This cutie is a friend of my daughters from pres...
