Another baby born amidst a pandemic, and another family that has handled such unprecedented times SO well! I am so glad we waited for VA to open back up a little bit to have our session in their gorgeous home – little Evelyn’s nursery is just SO cute! Big brother showed me all around and […]

It is not possible to remain calm and have ANY chill when you’ve just birthed twin newborns, have a toddler at home, AND IT WAS DURING A FREAKING PANDEMIC. OR SO ONE WOULD THINK. Turns out if you thought that (it me), you’re dead wrong. This mama and daddy were seriously so calm, cool, and […]

I have known this sweet family since they were a party of two… and now they’re a party of FIVE!! They are the sweetest (and maybe most model-esque?!) family and I just love to be around them. We met at the Agricultural History Farm Park and there were these beautiful tall grasses – perfect for […]

OF COURSE I made the drive for these three, and couldn’t have been more thrilled to meet sweet baby C in just the first few days home from the hospital. This baby’s daddy read […]

Sisters. There is nothing better! And these two are such a fun age apart. One is a blonde and one has dark hair – just like their beautiful and amazing parents! I had such a fun time getting to know this family in Falls Church when I photographed baby number two. It’s so funny to […]
