Family Time

This is not your typical photo session.  It's a time to reconnect, slow down, be present in the moment, just to be yourself, and appreciate how much your family means to each other.

Senior Year

A time of reflection and anticipation. It's a very busy year, but take the time to step back to appreciate all of your life's experiences up until this point and how they have shaped your personality while you plan the next steps in your journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

01

I'm thinking about getting portraits taken, but I've never hired a professional photographer. How does the process work? 

Just reach out!  We can set up a time to chat about the details and then you can decide if we're a good fit. Many of my clients have no previous professional photography or modeling experience, so please don't worry. What's important to realize is that you are uniquely qualified to be authentically you, and together, that's exactly what we are going to capture. 

02

 

I've already decided that I want to hire you for a portrait session experience. What's the next step? 

Please let me know what type of portrait session you're interested in and if you have an ideal date or timeframe. From there, we'll plan all of the fun details in your Pre-Session Consultation, such as location, how to decide what to wear, what to expect, the process for choosing your favorite images from the session, etc. Your session will be officially booked on my calendar once you sign my Photography Agreement, which you can do before or after our Pre-Session Consultation.     

03

 

Where and when do your portrait sessions take place?  

Every session is a collaborative, custom-designed experience! Together, we will find the location that is a best-fit for your ideas, vision, and situation. I can also suggest beautiful locations in the DMV area.  Weekend appointments tend to book 2-3 months in advance. All sessions are scheduled as either a 'morning' or 'afternoon' session to provide for last minute weather tweaks and to ensure no one feels rushed through their session. Morning sessions can begin between sunrise and 10:00 AM and afternoon sessions can begin between 2:00 PM and 3 hours before sunset.
