It’s always such an honor when friends trust me to capture moments with their families! I have known this beautiful mother-of-two since my very first days in Washington DC. When I lived there several years ago, we were both photography hobbyists and I’m so happy to say that we’ve been friends ever since!

It isn’t every day that you get to photograph your best friend! Kodi and I met several years ago when we were both only 16, but we’ve maintained our friendship over the years and across the miles.

I always love seeing him during my trips to Washington DC (it’s not a complete trip without time with Kodi!). This time it was extra special because we had a chance to capture some updated portraits of him.

I’ve been photographing this beautiful family for about a decade now, and we always have so much fun when we see each other during my annual trips to the Washington DC area! Since they really enjoy their time spent together at their home in Potomac, Maryland, we decided to stay put for their backyard session this fall!

For this fall family session, we met at the family’s beautiful waterfront property in Manassas, Virginia. We spent some quality time together on the grounds surrounding their custom-built home, and were even accompanied by their faithful cat, who tagged along for a good portion of the session.

I love a good family tradition – particularly ones that involve photography, and this family has started one that we’ve kept going for a solid fifteen years now!

It’s hard to believe that I have known this couple for almost as long as I have known my husband, but it wasn’t until this year that I had the pleasure of photographing their whole family – with their beautiful, energetic kids! It was great to finally meet up for some photographs and memories during my most recent trip to the Washington DC area!

This was my first-time meeting with this beautiful family at their lovely home in Virginia. They haven’t had many professional photos taken together, and none since their daughter was born. It was an honor to document their family this fall and capture some memories with them. After our walk, we made our way to the […]

This was my third time photographing this family. The first was a maternity session, followed by a family session when their little girl was pretty young, and now a sunflower session with little brother along for the first time. It’s been such a joy to document all the changes over the last few years – […]
