gorgeous family of 6

I was so happy to finally meet this family after a couple reschedules!  They went through a lot to be at their session today- 2 hours in the car, 2 kids not feeling well on the way, and holiday traffic!  I was very impressed with how they took it all in stride and did great...

This is my 2nd year photographing a sweet little model for the Down Syndrome Association of Northern Virginia’s annual calendar.    This year I photographed Sophia and she was such a spunky sweet girl, full of life and energy.  She had fun orchestrating the session and had me doing ballet moves, playing hide and seek, and...

3 cuties under five [falls church virginia family photographer]

I spent this gorgeous afternoon at the park with this lovely family.  Any photographer, or any parent of 3+ small children, knows how hard it is to photograph them together.  Over the years I’ve learned that no matter how crazy the session is, I will have a gallery of great photos to give the family. ...

Emma & Dana [stafford virginia photographer]

Last September, one of my favorite clients emailed me and asked if I would be their wedding photographer.  Me?? I’m not a wedding photographer!  We discussed it though- they really wanted me to do it since they are so comfortable with me, after working together many times (their maternity session, daughter’s newborn session, 6 month,...

a mom a photographer

How amazing that I’m wrapping up my third year as owner of BabySnap Photography.  How blessed I feel reflecting on this journey, realizing that not only do I get to be a mom (my biggest dream, top priority, & most loved job ever), but I’m also a photographer.  Many photographers say that they’ve had a...

Urban family

Yesterday I hit Reston Town Center with this family of 5, little did we anticipate that it would be crowded due to the unseasonably warm weather!  We were looking to get some fun urban-ish shots so we just had to dodge the billion other people who were out enjoying the afternoon.  These two little guys...

Fall family [culpeper virginia family photographer]

I met this family 3 month ago when baby Lilah was born.  We took a few family shots then but big brother wasn’t there that day so we scheduled a session for fall family pictures.  The weather tried to put us off but we were determined and braved the dampness and cold to embrace the...
