In Northern Virginia, where history and heritage are woven into daily life, families understand the importance of preserving their legacies with a family heirloom. From the stately homes of McLean to the rolling estates of Great Falls, there’s a timeless desire to capture what truly matters most: family.

One of the most unique parts of our portrait process is helping families in Northern Virginia envision their portraits exactly as they will appear in their homes. Using specialized design software, I can take a photo of your wall and digitally place your chosen portraits at the exact size and the frame style you’re considering. We want our clients to see how the artwork will look in their space before making a final selection.

Some clients want to have a portrait above their fireplace that is a beautiful scene in they happen to be in. While others want a larger portrait that is focused on the family. It’s our job to guide them and make the selection process simple and fun!

We encourage clients to bring their dogs or horses to the portrait session. They are part of the family.

Some clients would prefer an album over wall art. This is a great way to have the images flow and tell a story of this moment in the family’s life. We love it when clients add personal quotes or verses to the album. It makes it more custom and sentimental.

Both color and black and white portraits have their place in a portrait session. I love “moments” in black and white. This mother shares a hug with her youngest son.

Knowing how to get everyone to relax and smile is a true art form. I have many tricks to get genuine smiles in the final portrait.
