Waites · Family Portraits

I've had the joy of photographing the Waite's family portraits over the past few years. It's so fun watching these sweet, goofy kiddos grow up!

Tasha & Claire · Family Session

There are certain days that you know, while they are happening, that you will never forget; this was one of those magical days. The first session we planned was unfortunately rained out; but soon after, we got together and spent an afternoon making friends and memories. During the latter half or our session we made a quick Starbucks stop, neither of us could resist a caffeinated pick-me-up and getting hot drinks together was an activity Claire and Tasha loved. The pair of them looked flawless and you could feel their bond as they held hands down the sidewalk; wrapped up in the warmth and energy of that perfect, milky grey autumn afternoon. Despite the clouds, the memories we captured that day truly show Claire and Tasha's inner sunshine. 

Olivers · Fort Belvoir Family Session

The only thing more beautiful than the light streaming through the late autumn trees was the lovely Oliver Family.  From the quiet strength of their father, Ramsey to the joyous and simple kindness of their daughter Micaela the day was a joy to be a part of from start to finish.  It is on days like this that I feel so fortunate to do this work.  I wanted to capture the essence of each member of this unique family from the loving and easy going sensibility of Melissa to the authentic playfulness of Copeland and I think I was successful in bringing out their genuine selves.  There was a magical quality to the entire day and I hope in addition to capturing the happiness of this wonderful family, we also created memories that would last forever.

Andresens · Family Portrait Session

It has been so fun to shoot the Andresen's family portraits over the years.  It seems like little Claire and Reese get cuter and blonder every time we meet.  I love getting to keep up with what's going on in their lives and hear about the fun things they are doing as a family!
