The Williams Family | Cherry Blossom Session | Virginia Family Photographer

I had so much fun with the Williams family this weekend! We had perfect weather on Saturday morning for a session with the cherry blossoms, and really lucked out that the rain on Thursday and Friday didn't bring the blooms down with it. To top it off, their story is fascinating. They're an incredible family that has roots all over the place and had some amazing experiences. They were a pleasure to hang with -- even the littlest Williams spent the entire session with an adorable smile on her face!

Williams family, I wish you all the best on your next big, globetrotting adventure!

Weekend Round Up: Cherry Blossom Mini-Sessions (Round One)! | Virginia Portrait Photographer

Whew, this weekend was busy! Spring has finally made its debut in DC, and you won't see many people complaining. The cherry blossoms in DC are quite possibly the most beautiful feature of early spring in these parts; the one week where they are in full force is absolutely heavenly. I highly recommend checking them out this week if you haven't yet!

This weekend also marked the first weekend of my Cherry Blossom Mini-Sessions. Here's a sneak peek into the fun we had around the Tidal Basin and the National Mall. There are plenty more to come later this week and into the weekend, so stay tuned for updates!

Are you interested in a Cherry Blossom Mini-Session? This week is the peak week, so schedule yours today before you miss out on this year's blossoms!

Presenting: Fall Mini-Session Marathon Days! | Northern Virginia Portrait Photographer

I'm so excited to announce my fall mini-session marathon days! I decided to go with two separate locations this year: Brookside Gardens and Lewinsville Park. I think that both locations will provide beautiful fall photo backdrops, but will also have their own distinct looks!

I have scheduled two days this fall to provide 30-minute mini-sessions:

• On September 29, I'll be at Brookside Gardens in Wheaton, MD. These gardens are gorgeous! There are so many wonderful backdrop options at Brookside that I feel like a kid in a candy store when I'm shooting there.

• On November 4, I'll be at Lewinsville Park in McLean, VA. Although park is known to many in this area for its soccer and baseball fields, there is a spectacular historic house on the park grounds, and its overgrown fields make for a great fall photo backdrop.

Each day will have 4 session times available. If you're interested in reserving a session time on one of these days, contact me via the "Book with Me" button above!
