Chasing Giggles with Brooks and Bo at Rock Creek Park
Two joyful little brothers, a perfect fall day, and all the running and laughing we could handle. This Rock Creek Park session captured childhood in its purest form.
Some sessions are calm. Others are fast-paced. This one? It was all energy, laughter, and movement.
I met Brooks and Bo and their family at Rock Creek Park on a gorgeous fall morning. The leaves had turned, the air was cool, and the boys were ready to go. And by go, I mean run. Everywhere. All the time.
Brooks and Bo were full of that good kind of chaos- the kind that makes for real, joyful photos. They ran in opposite directions, made each other laugh, and kept us all on our toes. And while they did everything but sit still, we still captured so much love and sweetness between them.
That’s the fun of photographing young kids. You let go of the idea of "perfect" and lean into the play. It’s in those in-between moments that the real stuff shows up. A quick hug. A shared look. Hands grabbing sticks. Legs mid-sprint.
Their parents went with the flow and trusted the process. And Rock Creek Park, as always, gave us that soft light and fall color that makes everything feel warm and alive.
Love these wild, unscripted, and full of heart sessions.
If you’ve got little ones who don’t stop moving, don’t stress. Those sessions often turn out to be the most fun and the most meaningful.
A Morning with Emma & Ada | A Playful and Heartfelt Mother-Daughter Session
A cozy morning filled with giggles, dance parties, and the kind of love that only exists between a mother and daughter. This session with Emma and Ada was a beautiful blend of silly and soulful—the perfect way to preserve their bond at this moment in time.
There are some annual sessions I really look forward to every year….Emma and Ada are one of those sessions!
They always create a unique and fun list of things to do together that we can photograph in a more relaxed and documentary style session. Their bond is equal parts laughter, creativity, and so much heart. No stiff poses, no forced smiles—just the two of them being their perfectly wonderful selves.
We had bubbles, Jenga, had a dance party (of course!), and lots of giggles and tickles. Ada’s giggles, Emma’s warm glances, the way they make each other laugh without even trying—those are the things I love most to capture.
As a family photographer, I talk a lot about the power of preserving a moment in time. This session was exactly that. A way to remember this season of life—tender, chaotic, full of inside jokes and fierce love.
If you've ever thought about doing a mother-daughter session, take this as your sign. You don’t need a special occasion or perfect outfits. Just show up as you are, and let me do the rest.
