it amazes me every time just how fast that first year flies by, and it feels like just yesterday we were taking their maternity portraits as they waited for sweet Mia to arrive! I had the joy of documenting their maternity, newborn, 6 month, and now first birthday portraits, and it’s the sweetest gift to get to know a family over such a special year.

these two knew they wanted those classic DC engagement portraits to mark this exciting season, and man oh man did that vision come to life!
This year’s Motherhood Mini Session event was so special to me, and I am so grateful to each of the mamas and babies who joined me last April at Studio at 428! We had the most gorgeous florals by CS Farmstead, sweet treats by Signature Sweets by Amanda, and a beautiful day to celebrate these beautiful ladies.
My love and affection for these boudoir session just grows and grows, and i’m hoping to do so many more of them in 2026! My goal for these maternity boudoir sessions is to find that gorgeous blend of femininity, strength, beauty, power, tenderness, joy, vulnerability, connection, and wonderment that comes with pregnancy.

Oh friends, I am SO excited to share these portraits with you! Something I’m hoping for 2026 is SO many more fine art boudoir sessions! They are so special to me, so fun, so empowering, and it’s the absolute best to get to remind these women of how uniquely stunning they are. Maternity boudoir sessions especially have such a sweetness and power to them, and I was so excited to bring the vision for this session to life.
20 years of doing this job (crazy, right?!) and the couples I get to know truly truly are the very best part still! Ben and Cosi were married this past May, and I got the sweetest text from her out of the blue 8 months after their wedding saying they were scrolling through their photos again and couldn’t love them more, and how thankful she was for me to have been there.
What: One mini portrait session lasting up to 20 minutes, resulting in 15 high resolution edited files available for downloading with a print release- perfect for holiday cards and gifts!
Option One: Holiday Mini Portrait Session on Saturday October 25, 2025 between 9am and 4:30pm in Leesburg VA- indoors at Studio at 428 in downtown Leesburg *** UPDATE: the current remaining times as of now are 9:00am, 1:40pm, 2:00pm, and 2:40pm***

You give us one day to celebrate these two getting engaged, and we will pack it ALL in! There are so many spots around Disney World that they love, and I happened to be in town on a day when they both were ALSO in town and not traveling for work, so we made. it. HAPPEN! Engagement portraits around the Boardwalk loop, engagement portraits in the prettiest pavilions around Epcot, and we capped the day off at Magic Kingdom…

Birkby House has never looked better! Max and Carolyn had a perfect spring day to celebrate with their favorite people, with stunning florals, a gorgeous venue, a great dance party, and everyone there to support and encourage these two. Birkby House has always been one of my favorite venues for wedding days, even moreso now with their stunning new conservatory! It’s the most perfect addition to their space, and just elevates the charm and elegance this venue provides! All the natural light in there just makes me swoon!

It doesn’t always work out to overlap vacations with your friends from home, but SOMETIMES it does, and when it does, you have to mark the occasion with early morning photos! We discovered that if you’re in town on a Halloween or Christmas Party day when the park closes early, it also OPENS early!
