To all the generations of mothers Happy Mothers Day! Make sure to get in front of the camera today and be celebrated. These are the moments you will want to look back on.

High school senior portrait sessions are a wonderful experience. It’s like a modern-day glamor shoot on location or a Vogue cover shoot. Many of the seniors have their mom attend their portrait sessions. It’s helpful to have someone who knows how their hair should look. They also tend to carry all the outfits and accessories for the shoot.

A sitter session is one of the milestones in your baby’s life. They are typically scheduled once your baby can sit unassisted. Some stunning portraits can be captured at this precious age. Some mothers can be overwhelmed when thinking of attire for their baby’s sitter session. We recommend keeping everything in the neutral color scheme. Look how the monochromatic colors make this little boys blue eyes pop in this portrait!

There is nothing more beautiful than a mother’s love! We took this spring portrait at Morven Park in Leesburg Va. I love the vibrant green colors that surround this new mother and child.

I love capturing high school seniors in their element. This Northern Virginia senior got dressed up in a tulle gown and black tank top for her portrait session at Morven Park, Leesburg.

When considering a location or background for your senior portrait it’s ok to think outside the box. The perfect example is the image below of an old abandoned trailer. We found this back in the woods and it makes for a wonderful prop during this senior portrait session. Other ideas would be abandoned buildings and even graffiti.

This Leesburg high school senior wanted an urban setting for her portrait session. We took our session downtown and hit a variety of locations. When photographing an urban setting it can be helpful to have a driver. You can either hire one or ask a friend or parent to help out. This makes the most of your session time and also avoids parking fees.

Happy First day of spring. The grass is getting greener and the weather is getting warmer. This adorable little girl decided to take it all in in a tub with fresh bubbles. It’s time to book your spring portrait session.

It’s always nice when families want to include their dog in their family portrait. I always get them to look at the camera. Maybe it’s because of all the animal noises I make.  Anything for the shot😊

Newborn photographers are always coming up with creative poses to keep things fresh. In the image below I posed this sleeping 6-day old little boy into an antique bread bowl. I then placed the bowl in a wheat wreath. The neutral color scheme is soft and inviting. The texture of the wheat creates a circular pattern which keeps your eye moving.
