Snow is coming!

January 20, 2016 Ginny

It looks like snow is an inevitable event this weekend- whether big or small, the white stuff is coming!  You may not be thinking about one the greatest things about snow- photographing it! The beautiful white contrast gives a whole new landscape and DC is an excellent place to be! So don't let the snow get you stuck inside- get out there and shoot!  Here are some of top places and things to photograph in the snow!

The Zoo The animals are out but the people are not!  You can catch them in the beautiful snow setting!

Your neighborhood Anything that contrasts with the pretty white snow is super fun to photograph.

Leaves and trees I love how snow falls on trees and plants.  Use a fast shutter speed to actually capture the individual flakes coming down!  Find contrasting colors and textures.

People Snow acts as a natural reflector and brings that beautiful brightness to faces!  Go out there and try it!  And if you are near me, I'm always up for an impromptu snow session!

The Monuments The contrast between the stone and the snow can be absolutely gorgeous.  Anywhere down on the mall or any local statues make incredibly interesting snow pictures! (this one just taken with my iPhone)

Water & Bridges Getting anywhere near the Potomac or a body of water will create some interesting textures! (another example just from the trusty iPhone) Cemeteries I know it may seem morbid, but cemeteries can be an incredible beautiful and peaceful in the snow!

Ice If it turns icy, there are always interesting formations to find and photograph!

So there is no excuse to stay stuck indoors in the snow- get out and photograph it while you can- I know I will!!

Snow hiking

February 21, 2015 Ginny

I love that I moved to the city and have more natural woods in my backyard then I ever did in Virginia!  Perfect for a "snow hike" with friends during the biggest snow so far this year! So pretty! 2015-02-21_0001 2015-02-21_0002 2015-02-21_0003 2015-02-21_0004 2015-02-21_0005 2015-02-21_0006 2015-02-21_0007 2015-02-21_0008 2015-02-21_0009 2015-02-21_0010 2015-02-21_0011 2015-02-21_0012 2015-02-21_0013 2015-02-21_0014 2015-02-21_0015 2015-02-21_0016 2015-02-21_0017 2015-02-21_0018 2015-02-21_0019 2015-02-21_0020 2015-02-21_0021 2015-02-21_0022 2015-02-21_0023 2015-02-21_0024 2015-02-21_0025 2015-02-21_0026 2015-02-21_0027 2015-02-21_0028 2015-02-21_0029 2015-02-21_0030

We've made it!  We're down 1 tooth (and a lot of hair) but this guy is ready to say goodbye to pre-school and off to kindergarten next year! (Mommy may not be as ready...🥹) but we are all super proud!  Bring on summer! ☀

Happiest of Birthdays to my big bro!  So proud to be your sister.  You're an amazing dad and uncle and I love the childhood memories we share and the adult ones we're making with our own families.  Cheers to you! 🥃 💙

Sure, smiling-at-the-camera photos are great.
But when you tell your kid to “wear something silly and just have fun”? That’s when the good stuff shows up.

So grateful for these kind words from Vicki! 💛 I totally understand that photo sessions with little ones can feel a bit overwhelming (trust me, I’ve been there). But we take our time, keep things low-pressure, and somehow it always comes toget

I had the sweetest session with this amazing family in my Silver Spring studio, and I can’t get over how adorable these little ones looked. Thanks for trusting me to capture this moment in time!

PSA: Wiggly kids = the BEST photos. 

If you’ve ever worried your little one is “too wild” for a photo session… I’ve got good news: the wiggles, the chaos, the constant motion.....that’s where it's at!
