Portraits of Miranda: Washington DC Senior Photography

One of the great benefits of being a photographer in Washington, DC is the opportunity to meet and photograph folks from all around the country. It adds a wonderful dimension to my work and connects me to some great people, children and families.  Another great benefit of working as a photographer in Washington, DC is having easy access to one of the most photogenic and photographer-friendly cities in the world. The low skyline, wide brightly lit streets and monumental architectural backdrop area a photographer’s dream. So, when Miranda’s folks contacted  me about a Senior Photography Session in DC, I was delighted. Miranda was born in Washington and lived in Georgetown when she was growing up, but the family moved to Tennessee a few years ago. To Miranda, though, her roots have always been right here, in Washington. So, when it came time to create Senior Portraits for her, there was never any doubt that Washington, DC would be the place for her Senior Portrait Session.

I connected with Miranda and her family while they were visiting on her spring break,  before they headded north to New York for a little spring break shopping and sightseeing. We met on the National Mall, on a gorgeous cool, clear day in early March for an afternoon Senior Photography session. Miranda and I got right to work, having fun and creating some cool images, of Miranda in Washington DC.

Here are a few of my favorites from this Senior Photography Session with Miranda!

 

Portraits of Greg & Nicole + Children: Washington DC Family Photography

The skies over Washington, DC are gray and gloomy today and it’s raining. This seems like just the perfect time for a visual reminder that spring is just around the corner! With only two days left in February and just three weeks until the first day of spring 2013, the time for outdoor family photography is fast approaching. As an example of how beautiful Washington can be in the spring, I chose one of my favorite, and most colorful,  family photography sessions from last spring. This family photography session took place on a warm day in May, 2012 at a park in the Virginia suburbs, just outside of Washington, DC. This 2 hour session yielded some beautiful images, including individual portraits of Greg and Nicole with Emma, to add to their collection of existing portraits with Isabelle. We had so much fun with this family, that I completely forgot about time…until the rains came and ended a great session.

2013 Spring Family + Children’s Portrait Session Dates are going quickly. March is now booked solid, but I still have open dates available in April and May. Contact me to find out more about our new 2013 Portrait Collections!

My thanks to Greg and Nicole, and their beautiful daughters, for a wonderful Family Photography  Session!

Here are a few of our favorite images from the day.

 

Portraits of Amit + Veronique: Washington DC Couples’ Photography

The afternoon sun bathes the Georgetown waterfront in a warm glow on a cool, crisp afternoon in late November. Add a beautiful couple  and the work of a Washington, DC  portrait photographer becomes the pleasure of capturing images of two people deeply in love. For their Couples Portrait Session, I met Amit and Veronique at Dean and DeLuca’s on M Street in Georgetown on a beautiful fall day. We spent the next two hours strolling the Georgetown waterfront, creating portraits and lifestyle images of this charming and delightful couple. Congratulations to Amit and Veronique, who celebrated their first wedding anniversary on January 14th!
