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 […]

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 […]

We are done having babies… but editing session honestly made me reconsider that decision for a minute ?? We spent just about an hour in Manassas, just before sunset. It’s easy to have a sunset session when your baby has just entered thew world and doesn’t have a bedtime yet ? Baby Olivia ate and […]

This baby girl was just absolutely precious, but her parents were almost more precious. I love when you can FEEL how much new parents love their new baby, just from walking in the front door. Baby had a little scare on the day of our originally scheduled session, so we postponed until the next week. […]

Fun fact: This family was fully outfitted by Target. And I love every minute of it! These babies are also almost identical to my babies in age and it made me literally go home and book a session of my own that evening haha. We spent the evening at the Rust Nature Sanctuary and had […]

Baby R made her debut into this AMAZING family and stole everyone’s hearts in the process! I loved mom and dad’s white, neutral master bedroom and loved how the focus really could be on this new family of three. It was summer and a bright sunny day, which made the light in their house just […]

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 […]
