Nothing screams fall like a gorgeous family session on a farm! As I drove up to Pennsylvania last night to Raquel’s cousin’s farm, I noticed how much the trees are changing. There were far fewer greens than I expected. Instead, they were replaced with oranges and yellows! I cannot believe that we are officially this […]

Last night I met the Thomas family at the Carlyle House in downtown Alexandria for their annual family portraits! You may recognize them from a session I did a few weeks ago, but this time we had a whole hour to dedicate to just their family. I loved getting to see them again! It felt […]

When the whole family gets together, it’s the perfect time for some updated family photos! Especially if you’ve added a new grandbaby to the group this year! Melanie and Tom know that it gets rarer and rarer to have all three of their daughters home together, so they decided to take advantage of this holiday […]

Last night I had the privilege of spending some time with the Schmucker family for their annual family photos! They moved to the area about a year ago and since then have welcomed two new children into their family. David and Eliana were adopted from Costa Rica back in January. All of the kids seem […]

My day started off the Aschenbach family! While I was in the Nashville airport two days ago, Beth from Palm Beach Lately (go check out her cute blog!!) messaged me asking if I could squeeze in a family session for them this week while the whole gang was together! It can be so hard to get […]

Are you guys ready to hear the craziest small world story? I met the Fox family last night and as we were walking to the first location I asked Annemarie and her husband, Mike, how they met. “We met in high school!” “Oh that’s so cute. Did you grow up around here?” “Yes we went […]

Sessions with returning clients are some of my absolute favorites because it is like I am just catching up with old friends!! You may recognize the McGlade family from last spring when they got their first family portraits done for mama’s birthday in Old Ellicott City. Well, now they have moved down to Alexandria, their […]

Charlotte Johanna McShane came into the world on March 5th and I got to meet her on her one week old birthday! She is a precious little human and I’m telling you…she is a natural model. This was probably the easiest newborn session I have ever had because she was aware the whole time, but […]

CUTENESS ALERT!!! You would never guess that it was the dead of winter in these photos! I got to hang out with some of my favorite kiddos and their parents yesterday, the Johnsons. This family session was part of a mentoring session I did with Michelle from Michelle Cisneros Photography! She is a newer photographer […]

Merry Christmas!!! This is the time of year where everyone is getting ready for Christmas cards, and that includes photographers as well! I got the chance to take photos for my sweet friend Allie and her family this past week in their home in Baltimore. Allie and Tommy welcomed their first child, Henry, into the […]
