Happy 4th of July!!
In honor of the 4th of July I took some pictures of my patriotic granddaughter. God Bless America!!
Amanda and Dan – Old Town Alexandria
Old Town Alexandria is the location Amanda and Dan chose for their engagement session. I love Old Town, it offers so many options; mixing historic cobble stone streets and parks just blocks away from new modern buildings and sculptures.
Love this moment!
Thanks to Amanda and Dan for a wonderful evening, I wish you the best!!
Fort Washington Park–Fort Washington, Maryland

Big yawn!!
Sweet Christmas bundle of Joy!!
Addison is One and on the go!
I met with Addison (and her Mom) on Saturday for some “I’m One” portraits. She was on the go, as you will see, and we ran after her all over the park.
So happy and cute!
We got her to stop for just a moment…

Papson – Family Portraits
Yesterday, on my way home from visiting family in State College, Pennsylvania, I popped over to see a dear friend (I can’t call her an old friend because she is young enough to be my daughter); it was so nice to catch up on what’s been going on in our lives and I got a chance to meet her adorable son Caden.
Of course I brought my camera (don’t leave home without it).
Look at those blue eyes and cute smile. So sweet!!
Kristina – Senior Portraits
I have known Kristina for a few years now, she is naturally photogenic and fun to work with! We went to Lake Ridge Park on the Occoquan Reservoir for her senior portraits. Kristina has been there many times because she is a member of Hylton Senior High Schools crew team going on 4 years now.
Enjoy your senior year Kristina, college is right around the corner!!
Fall Family Portraits
Fun, Fall, Family Photos with my Favorite Family!! That’s a tongue twister. I met up with my best friend and her family for some long overdue family photos. Fall is a great time for pictures; the beautiful trees provide a wonderful natural backdrop for portraits. Great smiles everyone, I had a hard time picking just a few for this sneak peek.
A little fun with some props! Such good sports they are
Carolyn and her girls!
Dad and his beautiful daughters; hold tight Jim, they’re growing up fast.

Lauren and Chris – E-Pics
Wednesday evening I met with Lauren and Chris in the town of Occoquan for their engagement pictures. It was a warm, beautiful evening and we had a good time exploring some of Occoquan’s old buildings and alleyways. As we were walking around we met a cat that seemed to take an interest in what we were doing and kept trying to get in the pictures; Chris called him Buttercup. Congratulations Lauren and Chris!!
Our friend and tour guide “buttercup”.
