Washington DC, Northern Virginia, Richmond, Maryland Child Portraiture

As a mother of three, I know that the most important moments are not always the most planned. It's the little things - the special expressions, mannerisms, and interactions - that make a photograph speak to us as parents. The goal of the session is to capture your child, being your child. Even in situations where you may choose for your child to be "posed", I aim to capture an image that speaks to you. Something that expresses your lifestyle. Something that looks at home on your wall.

I would love to consult with you regarding creating your own masterpiece - whether you are searching for baby, child, high school senior, or family photography, I would love to discuss your vision for creating your own perfect custom photography session.

If you are planning an event or a wedding, I would love to meet with you to discuss your vision for your special day, and to help you decide whether my style is the right choice for you.

One of my favorite poems is Childrens Song by R.S Thomas. If I can convey through photographs what he conveys here in the written word, I will be happy with a job well done:

Childrens Song

We live in our own world,

A world that is too small

For you to stoop and enter

Even on hands and knees,

The adult subterfuge.

And though you probe and pry

With analytic eye,

And eavesdrop all our talk

With an amused look,

You cannot find the centre

Where we dance, where we play,

Where life is still asleep

Under the closed flower,

Under the smooth shell

Of eggs in the cupped nest

That mock the faded blue

Of your remoter heaven.

R.S. Thomas
