Today we’re going to talk Bucket List Photo Locations. I’ve been in business since March of 2017 so I’ve done a LOT of photo sessions. When you’re first starting out, you shoot anywhere that the client wants. Oh, I’ve shot in so many places that I look back on now and shake my head at. […]

Today we’re going to talk about when you should reschedule your photo session. I have to be honest here…I’m not one of those hard core, heavy duty photographers who will shoot in tornados and gale force winds and epic snow storms. That’s just not my style and I know that about myself. My clients know […]

Get ready for a pink poofy dress. I was excited about Maria’s senior session from the very beginning….even though I tried to turn it down (yes, yes I did – can you imagine if my busy calendar prevented me from meeting this amazing young woman and her precious momma??)!! Arhy, Maria’s mom, started her inquiry […]

Not gonna lie. I feel as though a difficult season of mothering is about to be upon me. I know…that’s a heavy way of starting off a light-hearted blog…but sometimes Fakebook and Instaspam “reality” has to be defeated with a truth post. See – last week, I shot a senior session. I have loved every […]

I lo-o-o-o-ove taking senior portraits. I always leave completely amazed at these young adults who are poised to go off and make their own way in the world. My husband and I have three kids, a son (9) and two daughters (8 and 6) and I feel like we’re still very much in the stage […]

Is it just me or are we in the DC metro area just the luckiest to have amazing historical landmarks – like the Lincoln Memorial – right in our backyard?? Sometimes I feel like I’m squandering the privilege because I don’t get down there enough but then beautiful happenstance gives me an opportunity. Rachel’s path […]

After I did my friend Danicole’s graduate session in DC at the Capitol, his friend Marissa reached out, asking for senior photos at the Lincoln Memorial. Guys, I could’ve swooned. In fact, I think I did swoon. I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to shoot at this amazing, iconic location and Marissa was an absolutely […]

So you know this girl rocks at life when she walks down the pathway like a professional model. That’s just what Diane did during our photo session together and I’m still in shock at the poise and professionalism she just embodied. Seriously. Just like a professional model. Diane came to me as a referral from […]

Another Hawaiian connection graces the blog this week. Danicole is one of those guys who always, and I mean always, has a smile on his face. His cheerful demeanor is so ever-present that when I coached him to do some straight-faced images for his senior pictures, they totally didn’t even look like him – smile-less […]

When an inquiry for a senior session comes through my email, I do a little happy dance. I love photographing graduating high school seniors. I know David’s family through the Hawaiian community where my husband and two of our children dance hula. Back in the fall, David’s mom, Caryn, approached me about doing David’s photos […]
