McLean, VA Family Photographer – Joe, Brianna and Josh

It may be a bitterly cold day, but these pictures of siblings will warm your heart!  They were all great models and so cute together. I look forward to their next portrait session when it will be warm enough to go outside!


Joe does serious so well.  And Josh is too cute for words! 

Brianna has a great sense of style already.  Love her poses!  And I know the brothers photo will be a family classic showing how much Josh adores his older brother.

Published – Winter Wedding Favors on Washington DC’s Bridal Guide

The Washington DC Bridal Guide gathered some great ideas for winter wedding favors.  They asked to use this image from Sherri and Mike’s beautiful winter wedding at River Farm.  Here is the link to all the ideas to warm up a cool day.

Laura and Megan from Events in the City were the wedding planners and assembled the personalized mugs for this intimate wedding.  The mugs included hot chocolate and a peppermint swizzle stick.

To see more of Mike and Sherri’s snowy wedding day, here’s the full blog post on the jan michele photography blog.

Thanks Kristen for featuring these fun wedding favors!

Published – Family Portrait Session in DC on Boundary Stone Baby

I’m excited that the new Washington, DC family blog, Boundary Stone Baby, recently featured this sweet fall family portrait shoot with some of my long-time clients and friends.  I’ve been photographing these girls their entire lives and it’s such a joy to watch their personalities blossom and their friendship with each other grow.

Boundary Stone Baby  is a site “dedicated to showcasing the very best of family life in the DC area”.  I love the description of the site name and how it relates to DC and their mission:

Recognized as among the best cities to raise families, DC offers amazing backdrops for capturing the incredible moments of family milestones.  We feature inspiring family content that compliments the areas featured.

Creative families mark the foundation of modern DC, much like the boundary stones mark the foundation of the historic District.

Boundary Stone Baby celebrates creating family histories within, around, and beyond the boundary stones.

Thank you Sandra for the feature!
