This McLean high school senior session was the perfect mix of strength, confidence, and style. As a lacrosse goalie who’s already earned a college scholarship (congratulations!), she wanted her portraits to celebrate both her love for the sport and her fashionable, fun side.

We started with her lacrosse gear — capturing that fierce, focused energy that defines her on the field.

I have never photographed a lacrosse goalie, but we had a lot of fun using her stick and different poses!

Class of 2026 has been so much fun to photograph this year!

This black and white senior portrait shows off the sports side of this McLean senior.

we switched gears for a more editorial look, bringing out her personality and style with natural light and soft fall tones.

As a Northern Virginia senior photographer, I love helping seniors create sessions that reflect who they are right now — their passions, their achievements, and their dreams for what’s next. Whether that means mixing your sport with something stylish, or highlighting a future college team, every session is uniquely designed to capture you!

This session was all about keeping things fun and lighthearted. Instead of asking the kids to sit still, we played games, told jokes, and let them explore. When everyone relaxes and has fun, the smiles come naturally — and that’s where the real magic happens.

This Waterford family had their portraits taken against the backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

I love photographing toddlers, particularly when they love to run to the camera during the family portrait.

There’s nothing better than photographing a young family who’s ready to laugh, play, and simply enjoy being together. With little kids, the best portraits often happen in the moments between the poses — the giggles, the cuddles, the way they run straight into mom and dad’s arms.

Bringing props to a session can make for some fun vintage photos.

The warm love between mom and her boys!

Love capturing the young siblings together. You can tell these boys idolize their little sister.

There’s something especially meaningful about photographing a family in the place they’ve called home. This Northern Virginia family wanted to capture images of their home in Waterford before they moved out of state.

Before a big move, these everyday spaces hold even more emotion, which makes an in-home fall family portrait session such a beautiful way to preserve your story.

This family wanted to remember their home exactly as it was — surrounded by the warm colors of autumn and the love that filled every corner. The timing couldn’t have been better. The golden fall light streamed through the trees, wrapping their moments in that cozy seasonal glow that makes fall family portraits in Northern Virginia so special.

At Jennifer Jule Studios, every session is designed to bring families closer — capturing the relationships, personalities, and moments that define who you are. This McLean family embraced that spirit wholeheartedly.

And the love between mother and daughter.

The journey to becoming a pediatric oncology nurse at The George Washington University is more than an academic achievement. It marks the start of a career filled with compassion, courage, and an unwavering commitment to care.

This portrait session was designed to honor not only the achievement of becoming a nurse, but also the journey it took to get there. With cap and gown, scrubs, and a few personal touches.

these images capture the pride, joy, and excitement of stepping into a new career of caring for others.

The stairs made a great backdrop for this nurse’s headshot.

What a great cover shot of a GW Nurse grad!

A fun action shot! Double meaning…

Graduating as a pediatric oncology nurse is one of those powerful moments. This portrait session celebrated not only the completion of nursing school, but also the beginning of a career dedicated to caring for children and families facing some of life’s toughest battles.

We picked The George Washington University campus in Ashburn, Virginia, to hold her graduation portrait session.

Whether you’re a recent graduate or supporting someone you love, a portrait session is the perfect way to preserve this once-in-a-lifetime accomplishment.

There’s something magical about combining the grace of dance with a stunning outdoor setting. Recently, I had the joy of photographing a talented dancer at Morven Park in Leesburg, Virginia. With its sweeping gardens, timeless architecture, and serene natural backdrops, it was the perfect stage to showcase her elegance and strength.

From delicate ballet poses to dynamic leaps, every image tells a story of passion and artistry.

Morven Park provided endless inspiration — whether framed by its historic stone walls, among the vibrant gardens, or on the grand steps that feel like they were made for a dancer’s spotlight moment.

If you’ve been dreaming of a portrait session that highlights your love for dance, whether ballet, jazz, or contemporary, this location offers a truly breathtaking canvas.

If you’ve never been to Meadowlark Gardens, it’s truly a gem in Northern Virginia. With its lush gardens, winding stone pathways, open meadows, and stunning water features, it offers a variety of gorgeous backdrops all in one location. During this session, we explored a mix of Flower-filled gardens for soft, romantic images. Open fields with natural light for a classic senior portrait feel. Bridges and ponds to add a little extra magic and variety. We even took some portraits in the beautiful greenhouse!

It’s an ideal spot for seniors who want their portraits to feel natural and timeless, while still offering plenty of variety for a custom gallery.

August is a great time to capture the majestic lily pad flowers in pastel pink.

This senior came prepared with a few carefully chosen outfits for each location we visited. She knew exactly what she wanted — a session that would capture all of the things she loves right now.

We started our adventure at a vintage record shop, where her love of music took center stage. The nostalgic vibe of rows of vinyl records made for some incredibly cool and unique portraits.

Next, we headed to Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, VA. The lush gardens and open pathways were perfect for dreamy, timeless images that her family will cherish for years to come.

From there, we stopped by a local park, incorporating the playground she spent countless hours at growing up — a beautiful nod to childhood memories.

And finally… one of my favorite parts of the session — a quick stop at the local 7-Eleven for Slurpees! Yes, we got some fun and totally unexpected shots that perfectly captured her playful, adventurous spirit.

We kicked off this high school senior portrait session at Vienna Music Exchange, surrounded by rows of classic vinyl and the nostalgic vibe of the shop. This senior wanted to include a few shots with her dad to celebrate their shared love of music — such a special touch!

I love when seniors bring their personal story into their session. It makes the portraits so unique and meaningful. Can’t wait to share more from this fun day!

There’s something magical about the way water moves – it flows, reflects, and magnifies beauty. When paired with the artistry of dance, water becomes more than just an element; it becomes part of the performance.

As a dance photographer in Loudoun County, I love exploring creative portrait sessions that bring movement to fine art portraits.

The spray, splash, and shimmer add a dynamic element that highlights every leap, turn, and gesture in dance.

There is something so unique about a dancer’s water photo session on a black backdrop. The spray brings your eye across the image from corner to corner.

The dancer’s movement and dramatic gesture shine through in this image, captured at the very moment she strikes a powerful pose as water cascades across her body.

Flowing fabric is an amazing tool to use when photographing dancers. The fabric becomes an extension of the body and creates a work of art.

These images are striking and one-of-a-kind fine art portrait.
