Thanks for visiting my blog!

I am a portrait and event photographer based in the Washington, DC area. I specialize in on-location, fun and relaxed portraiture, and love photographing children, families, and couples in casual settings, spending time together. Please visit my website for more information about my work. Enjoy my blog for samples from my most recent shoots!

Since my beautiful John Patrick was born in September, I have been doing fewer jobs and focusing on family time. We have really enjoyed our first 5 months together! Just so you don’t think I have packed up the camera, given that my professional blog is so dead these days, I am actually shooting more than ever,  just more at home of my sweetie pie! I love having a smiling subject to photograph every day! And, I am even more inspired to do newborn and baby portrait sessions! This is a wonderful gift for anyone you know who is expecting, or has recently had a baby. Hop on over to my personal blog and see my most recent work (and of course, to peak at my little man!) If you’d like to book a family on-location session, please contact me- I am taking new clients!

Senior Portraits {Chloe}

Posted on January 18, 2010

2010_CG_-105I know it seems this blog is dead, and honestly, since my dear little John Patrick was born, it has been! But I am still doing jobs even with my little man taking up a large portion of my free time. I just don’t seem to find the time to blog about any of them! But this shoot was so much fun I have to post a few pics. Chloe was such a good sport doing some outdoor portraits in the 30 degree, blustery,  January weather! I just adore shooting seniors! They are just naturals in front of the camera, and can tell you exactly what they like in an image. Maybe it’s because I am a high school teacher, but I really really love working with seniors. I hope you had as much fun as I did Chloe, and you are just beautiful! Such a radiant smile! And, thanks to her good friend who braved the weather to offer some wardrobe and moral support :)

Mini Sessions {highlights}

Posted on November 6, 2009

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing four wonderful families for my holiday mini sessions. We had to change locations at last minute due to the rain, and we ended up at the beautiful National Botanic Gardens in downtown DC. I will be posting some highlights from the different shoots. Thanks to all my families for your flexibility and for a fun day of portraiture! SO many beautiful children in one day!! (Moms and Dads aren’t so shabby either!)2009_11_ConnorWeb-082009_11_ConnorWeb

Little J {6 years old}

Posted on October 29, 2009

Last Fall I photographed little J when she was 5 years old at Dumbarton Oaks. She looked so adorable in her black and white striped tights, and in spite of the fact that she wasn’t too interested in having her portraits done, we captured some really fabulous images. I was so excited when her parents contacted me again this October for another portrait session. We did this year’s shoot at Tudor Place gardens in Georgetown, another hidden gem of a location. When I arrived, little J was hiding behind the shrubs, only this year, she was hiding for fun, not fear, and we had a fabulous shoot. She really knows how to work the posing all on her own! Just adore her smile and spunk. Thanks J for another wonderful portrait session!

Welcome to my new blog!

Posted on October 29, 2009

So, you may be wondering “What’s up with the new blog, and what happened to all your old posts?” Well, I am wondering the same! I recently launched my brand new flash website that I have been slowly working on for almost a year (maternity leave has given me just the extra time to get it up and running finally!!), and decided I couldn’t have a new website without a new nifty looking blog. Well, when we created the new blog, somehow my old one mysteriously got deleted. Oops! Eventually I hope to re-create the old posts in the archives, but for now, we’re starting off with a clean slate, just in time for the 2010 season! Have a look around, and if you haven’t already, please check out my new website and sign up for my mailing list on the homepage!
