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.
These are a few of my FAAAVORITE things… my Evie girl, and tulip fields! Our girl is 6 months old and sitting up like a big kid these days. She’s got the cutest two tiny teeth you’ve ever seen, is starting to babble even more, and still loves to put everything in her mouth… including tulips ;)

Is there ANYTHING more magical than the Grand Floridian Resort at Disney World during the holidays?! Absolutely not! This was always the resort of my dreams: the elegance, that gorgeous lobby, the class white buildings with the red roofs… it has been one of my top favorite resorts for as long as I can remember.

19 years of knowing Ryan and Shannon. College, serving in ministry together, and lots of portrait sessions together over the years… but this one is hands down my favorite one yet! The newest addition to their family surprised everyone, and stole their hearts at the exact same time.

There’s something uniquely sweet about photographing a brand new baby in the space that was designed for them. It doesn’t always work out to do so for several reasons, with natural light in the room being one of the biggest factors, but when we can, it always results in magic! I loved how bright and simple Kit’s room was, and it made for the perfect backdrop for her first portraits.

I’ve waited a long time to meet you, sweet boy! I had the joy of first meeting R+D so many years ago when I got to photograph their beautiful Shadow Creek Wedding, and since then I’ve had them in front of my camera every fall for updated portraits together, so this one was extra special for me getting to photograph them as a family of THREE!
