Northern Virginia Family & Newborn Photography

One of the questions I get most often from clients is: “what should we wear?” It’s one of the biggest sources of stress leading up to a session, and honestly, I get it. Coordinating outfits for an entire family — especially with kids — feels like a lot. So this year, I thought I’d pull […]

As a family photographer of over ten years, I’ve seen a few things. I’ve seen kids literally lose their minds during a session, have mom leave thinking we got nothing, and then deliver a full gallery full of smiles. I’ve had sessions where people have said they’re so awkward, and then their gallery looked like they […]

Choosing Christmas family photo outfits can feel like one more thing to figure out during an already busy holiday season.

Today I’m excited to share this sweet baby boy’s newborn session. What I love about being an Alexandria Newborn Photography studio is getting to document new babies and their parents in a timeless, natural way. Everyone comes to the session a little unsure of what to expect, but quickly parents feel comfortable when they realize […]

I had the honor of capturing this Senior Master Sergeant’s retirement after twenty years of Air Force active duty service. His family chose the Air Force Memorial as a place to hold his intimate retirement ceremony. It’s one of the most unique memorials in the Washington, D.C. area, with views of the Washington Monument and […]

I had such a great time capturing this sweet couple about to welcome their first baby in this Old Town Waterfront Maternity Photos session. We met in Old Town on a busy Saturday but made the best of our time walking around the charming streets of Old Town Alexandria. We started at Oronocco Park, walked […]
