Gonzalez Family - Tidal Basin and Jefferson Memorial | Family Photographer, Washington DC | Family Photographer, Northern Virginia

It was a privilege to spend this most beautiful Sunday afternoon in Washington D.C. with the Gonzalez family for this family photography session. We walked along the Tidal Basin, around the Jefferson Memorial, ending up down at the Potomac as the sun went down. I just so enjoyed getting to know this beautiful family as we walked, and talked and made photographs all along the way. 

Carolyn Marshall Wright, Artist

I had the privilege of taking photographs of artist Carloyn Marshall Wright at her studio in McLean, Virginia. She is an artist working in watercolor and acrylic. Her work is frequently displayed in exhibits in the Washington D.C. area. This particular morning, she was finishing preparations for an upcoming art show. It was inspiring to see Carolyn in her studio as she showed me some recent work. Beautiful! Visit her website and look through the galleries.

Colvin Run Mill- Vaudo Family | Great Falls, Virginia | Family Photographer, Vienna, Virginia

I met up with this dear family at the Colvin Run Mill park on a humid but beautiful morning early in the month of June. We arrived before a field trip descended on the territory and before the general store opened. At this restored mill from the early 19th century, the water wheel and gears were quiet and we basically had the place to ourselves, except for the park authorities and some builders doing restoration on the main building. OK, so the serenity of our time was disrupted when the workers cautioned us to watch out for the snakes, which there were none, thankfully.  The kids were amazing and as a reward, their parents  took them out for breakfast afterwards at McDonalds, I think it was. A week after that morning, they took off on a 6 week family adventure across the U.S. in an RV! I can imagine the fun they had and they DO have stories to tell that Christie so artfully recorded in her blog. What a joy it was to share this time with them.
