I recently had the opportunity to photograph one of the most culturally significant (and most adorable) events ever – the Doljabi ceremony. This is my second time photographing this special event for this family in Rockville, Maryland. This traditional Korean first birthday celebration has the birthday kiddo, dressed up in a resplendent Hanbok, choosing an […]

♥️🧡💛💚💙💜I won’t pretend to know or understand everything- but what I do know is that I will always support and celebrate my LGBTQ+ clients and their right to live as their authentic selves. It’s been really disheartening to hear such hateful, ugly rhetoric lately and to see companies, big and small, back away from their […]

This was such a treat! Meet Sunshine, the coolest 90 year old I’ve ever met, and honestly, just one of the coolest people I’ve ever met. A few weeks ago she celebrated her 90th birthday in style with a sweet soiree at Heritage Hunt Golf and Country Club in Gainesville Virginia. This was the first […]

Daddy Love. Mama Love. Family Love. Simply the best!

I’m not really sure what the fall is going to look like for photos. I don’t think anyone does. I photograph so many families in October and November and I don’t know if that’s something we’ll be able to do this year. The thought of that breaks my heart. Looking at the trends and where […]

Another session with the Stauffer Family! Courtney wanted a quick session while her mom was in town from Kentucky. We used their beautiful backyard in Jefferson, Maryland as the backdrop for simple and lovely portraits. Lennox was her silly, crazy self, which made the session fun as always. Can’t wait to see them again in […]

I always try to end my in-home lifestyle photo sessions with one photo in front of the house- it’s fun to look back and see how everyone has changed over the years, even your home. I have a feeling I’ll be doing a lot more of this type of shot this year…

Following this family along on their journey has been incredible. The Seifert Family added another member, and I was so excited to meet him at their home in Old Town, Alexandria. Brooks, you are perfect!
