Cubba Family | Lincoln Memorial | Washington DC

Enjoy this series of photographs of this very special family. We met as the sun was just breaking over the horizon at the Lincoln Memorial. We were practically alone at the site for a good bit of the time, all of us basking in the beauty and rising sun, relishing the fact that we live here. It all came together: the weather, the sun, the agreeable pups, the gleaming marble,  for the most amazing early morning session of this beautiful family. Thank you, Cubbas, for, giving me this wonderful pleasure of capturing your family.

High School Graduating Senior 2017 | Andy

I've been scheduling for my next round of Senior Portraits as Spring approaches.  I was so delighted we had a sunny day, and that Andy agreed to having his Ford truck in some photographs before the sun went down. 

Caren Louise Photographs | Northern Virginia Photographer

Photographs of Family |   The Goldsmith family allowed me the wonderful privilege of capturing their family photographs as they gathered together for the holidays. After photographing the guys on the sidelines through several seasons of varsity football, this opportunity to work with their entire family on this session was so fabulous.

Jackson Family | Lake Accotink Park | Springfield, Virginia | Northern Virginia Photographer

Oh my goodness, yes! Of course we could not have made these photographs of the Jackson family without including their well loved dogs. We walked the trails of the Accotink Park in Northern Virginia to capture their family on these very trails they walked regularly when their kids were young. A Saturday morning of this beautiful family, documented here.

Aisling | Senior Portraits | Vienna Virginia | Northern Virginia Photographer | Washington DC Photographer

These are portraits of Aisling, lovely high school senior, who will be graduating June of 2017. We braved the chilly morning air on the first brisk fall day of the season to make photographs of her. This park holds special memories for her from past years, where she ran in cross country meets.  We wandered on footpaths, down to the lake, along the children's train track. And even spotted the windmill. Here are some of my favorites of her, lovely and confident and all grown up now as she plans for what lies ahead.

We made portraits of beautiful Lily, high school senior, 2016, in celebration of her graduation. She's now in University, enjoying her freshman year.  I was so happy I could capture her at this exciting time in her life. A little rain didn't spoil our time. Sweet gal with a beautiful and bright future. Wonderful things in store for you.
