Get a JUMP START on 2018! | News & Updates

It's been a while since my post, so I wanted to pop in with some exciting travel updates for 2018!

Since streamlining my travel in 2017, I will be doing the same for 2018! What does that mean for you? In short, if I will be traveling to one major city, I won't be visiting nearby major cities.

Currently, the following cities are in consideration: 

Are you located in/near (or willing to travel to) one of the above cities, and interested in mentoring, a lifestyle portrait, or business session?

Be sure to specify the city and service you're interested in booking :)

For the FL and TX cities listed, the destination will be determined by where there is a greater cluster of interest.

While it may be a bummer that your city isn't listed, if I will be traveling to a nearby city, I'd still love to work with you! Just think of it this way: I'll be much closer than I would be in DC :)

NOTE: Scheduled dates (for the first 3 cities) will be announced the week of December 4. Mentoring and photo sessions are scheduled on a first come, first served basis and once max availability is reached, no additional appointments will be scheduled. So, if you'd like to work together, I'll need to hear from you this week!

__________________

Just a brief note on local availability: 2017 is all booked! Currently, booking is open for February 2018 and beyond, and winter mini sessions are available between February 15 and March 20.

Well, that's all for updates today! I hope you have a wonderful week and I look forward to hearing from you if you'd like to work together in 2018 :)

Happy Friday! You made it to the end of another week, and I hope your Friday is treating you well 💚  

Today I have a gorgeous session to share with you from last fall; this couple was such a joy to work with!

Shajara & Ravee were visiting from Charlotte and wanted a DC session to celebrate both their anniversary and Ravee's birthday! Shooting at the monuments was very important to them, so to make sure we had the best light and the least amount of people, we did a sunrise session!*

Sunrise sessions sound great in theory, but man are they hard for a non-morning person (like myself)... BUT I don't mind sacrificing for the sake of art lol. It was a very cold late November morning but you would never know looking at their final images :) We took warm-up breaks, and the gorgeous light helped to heat things up a bit.

In the end, despite the frigid weather, we had a great time and Shajara & Ravee walked away with a gorgeous set of images!

*Note: If you are interested in shooting at any of the DC monuments, yours will be a sunrise session :)

2017 National Boss Day | Washington, DC Business Photographer

Happy Monday!

This morning I heard it was National Boss Day and I was like oh that's cool, I think I should do a post featuring some of my recent sessions with business owners! Then my day got away from me... errands, hair appointment, more errands, etc... and here we are after 11p, so at this point I'm doing this post for me lol.  

Last week I shared two super fun business sessions from Fall 2016 with Stacy and Jenee, and today? I am thrilled to share a collection of images taken over the past year with my wonderful business clients! (Not including corporate work)  

I didn't realize how many sessions I photographed with business owners in 2016 and 2017 lol! BUT I wanted to give my beautiful clients the shine they deserve :) I don't believe any of these have been blogged previously (I do intend to share the full sessions at some point, just don't ask me to give you an ETA lol), so I'm really glad that today presented me with an opportunity to bring this collection to life. 💖

It is such an honor to be able to help my clients bring their brand visuals to life. Helping them put a warm and welcoming face to their business imagery and really showcase their personality? That is absolutely one of my favorite things!

Mommy & Me: Morgan + Maddie | Washington, DC Family Photographer

Happy Friday to you!

I am soo thrilled to share these images with you today! 

Last fall, I briefly launched a line of headwraps and the response was amazing! (I'm still undecided on if/when the next collection will launch FYI lol), but my lovely client & friend Morgan reached out and told me she wanted to do her family's annual fall mini session with my headwraps!

Below are a few snaps from our previous fall family sessions together:

2014

2015

I was so excited for this session! Not only because I love working with her & her daughter Madison, and that they'd be wearing my headwraps, but Morgan also gave me complete creative control. Did I tell you I have the best clients? I do!

I decided to keep the wardrobe all black so that the headwraps would pop and their looks would mimic the location I chose, and to split the mini session in two- the first half with sweet mommy & me portraits, the second half with a Beyonce-inspired tribal makeup change.

Ya'll. They did not come to play! Well, Maddie did because she's 3, but you know what I mean lol. I couldn't have been happier with how it all turned out, so I'm super excited to share these with you!

Jenae | Washington, DC Brand Photographer

Next up for today? Jenae!

Let me tell you... I am so thankful for my clients. I really can't say it enough!

The fact that I get to do what I love, while at the same time helping fellow entrepreneurs bring to life visuals that will enhance what THEY love to do? There is nothing like it. 

Last October I had the privilege of working with Entrepreneur, Business Strategist, and Speaker, Jenae Manns and we had a ball! I love capturing business imagery with personality and Jenae's brand photos are just that 💛
