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...
I realized on Sunday, as I was on an adventure with Christian and his mom, that it’s been a while since I photographed an “older” child alone. I do family sessions and lots of babies, but it was so enjoyable to have all of my focus on this ADORABLE 5 year old boy. A great...
I spent this weekend with my best friend & roommate from college. We haven’t seen each other in 6 years, as babies and life got in the way. Despite the years apart, there was no awkwardness, just joy! It was so amazing to reconnect with someone who knows everything about you, your history, your mistakes,...
I promised myself that this summer I would take each of my five kids out for a session, ALONE. Kennedy had her 4 year old pictures (that I LOVE) taken by my friend Rashmi Pappu, but I wanted to capture each of my kids in the setting summer sun and update my walls around my...
My husband and I are headed to Cancun in 36 hours. Sans kids. This evokes many contradictory feelings in me, ranging from pure elation to panic/worry. We have never been away from our kids this long, especially together! I was gone for 5 nights in February, but they were with their daddy so I didn’t...
You’d think I have tons of time to work with all of this snow, but really with all of my kids home and bored I haven’t had much time for work! My sweet Kennedy turned 4 yesterday, hard to believe how fast time has flown by. She’s such a sweet soul, our most quiet and...
A three-day weekend with no sessions… very odd, felt weird, and I admit… wonderful. I got to sleep in 3 days in a row, yes my husband is so sweet for giving up his sleep-in day for me. I barely slept from October- December, so I’m enjoying catching up! So having no session to blog,...
I love working with families, never a dull moment, and I get to witness the closeness between parents and kids, siblings, and even extended family. I enjoyed meeting this family today and we had a blast searching for bears, climbing things, and spinning & twirling. I got some great pictures of that stuff, as well...
It was a pleasure to meet this family today, nice parents, fun well-behaved kids, what more can I ask for in clients? We headed out to a local park in the Haymarket area and enjoyed the afternoon sun (the temp dropped 10 degrees by the time we left though brrr!). Alexa and Eric were full...
A few months ago I had the honor of photographing little Kaylie for the annual calendar of the Down Syndrome Association of Northern VA. The calendar is now finished and available to purchase! Please consider buy one and supporting this association, if you cruise around their website you can see that it’s a great cause!

I’ve been wanting to compile these photos for a long time now. I had to scan some in from old Creative Memories albums and dig other up from my hard drive, pictures taken with my first digital point-and-shoot, pictures given to me by my friend Jenn, snaps here and there from over the years, and...
This little sweetie was lulled to sleep easily and then snoozed through the rest of her session. Her big sister watched the entire session with interest and then got her turn in front of the camera. Beautiful girls! My camera itched to get big sis outside with her big gorgeous blue eyes, but I had...
I spent yesterday morning with this fun family of four- I was worried that it would rain, but it held off and we had lovely light in their gorgeous backyard! Little Vu was easy going and up for our many ideas, even naked baby! Big boy Joseph (aka Bear) was pretty much a typical 2...
Today I met Kaylie, an adorable little girl with a beautiful smile and sweet disposition. I was asked to photograph Kaylie for the Down Syndrome Association of Northern Virginia’s 2010 calendar. I’m so honored and excited to be a part of this! Kaylie made my job easy, her perfect curls, pretty dress, and apparent love...
Everyone knows I love newborn sessions and I had a great winter of mostly newborn sessions, but I have to say it was SO nice to get outside today again and spend a session with a fun family! Despite the rising temps and clouds of pollen, we still had a great time hanging around their...
Calling all REFERRALS!!! So I’ve always given little thank you gifts to clients who refer their friends to me. I’ve never had a formal “referral program”, but I’m not really a formal kinda gal. Having said that, I’ve decided to firm it up some and let you guys know what you can get! So starting...
Thank you to all of my wonderful clients, you are all such a pleasure to work with! All of my clients have added to my life in different ways- the hours I spend with new moms at newborn sessions, talking mom-talk; the love I witness during sessions with families, watching them interact and play; I...
I’m posting today about a place that is very dear to my heart. Toddlin’ Time is a “play place” here in Fredericksburg that has been here for about 11 years. All of my little ones have been in Toddlin’ Time classes over the years, starting 6 1/2 years ago when Ally was about 18 months old. I...
