Why Women Deserve Beautiful Photos of Themselves
So many women put themselves last when it comes to updated photos. Whether it’s for LinkedIn, a professional milestone, or simply to celebrate yourself, portraits are more than pictures—they’re self-care. Julie and Rachel’s sessions show just how powerful a refreshed headshot can be.
Apple Picking at Butler's Orchard
This weekend we kicked off fall a little early with a trip to Butler’s Orchard for apple picking. From climbing branches to sampling apples straight from the tree, it was the sweetest start to the season.
From Scared to Smiling: Capturing the Arc of Childhood Bravery
This weekend, my 5-year-old taught me something about courage—on a playground slide. The first photo shows him frozen with fear, unsure if he could do it. The next captures pure joy when he realized he could. By the end, he was running back up to go again, this time on his own. Moments like these are what family photography is all about: documenting not just smiles, but the real arcs of childhood—fear, triumph, and the pride that follows. As a Silver Spring family photographer, I love capturing these everyday milestones that remind us how quickly our kids are growing and how brave they really are.
