Sweet Family Portrait Session :: McLean Virginia Portrait Photographer

Julie contacted me last December with a fabulous idea.  Her husband had always wanted a family portrait session and so she wanted to get him one for Christmas.  I sent a gift certificate for Julie to put under the tree and a few months later they contacted me to schedule their session.  On a beautiful spring day, we got together at their home in McLean and took some very special family photos.

30 Days of Creativity

It’s June 1 and that means, it’s time to get my creative juices flowing. Yep, it’s that time again!

Last June I took part in 30 Days of Creativity.  You can check out what I created here.  It was so fun and inspiring and I’m ready to take on the challenge again.

I already have some projects in mind and even a few creative trips planned.  But for those inevitable days I need a little help, 30DaysofCreativity has this great calendar of inspiration.

I hope you’ll join in or at least follow along as I take on the challenge.  You can follow my progress daily on twitter and I’ll be uploading my images on Pinterest.

iPhone Photography

More than a decade ago, I enrolled in photography classes with the Smithsonian Studio Arts program.  The classes were fun and affordable and I learned so much.  I loved being in the dark room and you could find me there during the open dark room hours printing away.  Had you been a fly on the wall back then you would have heard me swear I’d never be shooting digitally. I loved the serenity of the dark room too much to ever be a slave to the computer.

Although I still love shooting film, I do now primarily photograph digitally these days (but I do lament the hours spent in front of the computer!). One digital camera I always have with me is my iPhone.  I spend a lot of time walking around the DC and it’s nice to have a camera with me at all times.

So you might be wondering where I am going with all of this. Where do the darkroom and iPhone photography intersect? Well, today the Smithsonian Studio Arts blog posted about iPhotography and this photo I took last October.

Nora’s First Communion :: McLean, Virginia Portrait Photographer

Jessica Del Vecchio McLean Virginia First Communion Photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing Nora’s First Holy Communion at Holy Trinity Church in Georgetown, followed by a brunch with family and friends at her home in McLean, Virginia.  I first photographed Nora at her baptism, also at Holy Trinity, nearly 8 years ago.  One of my favorite things about being a family portrait photographer is watching families grow and change over time.

Since I’ve been photographing Nora since she was just three months old, I thought it would be fun to look back at at some photos of Nora over the years.  I don’t have ready access to the earliest photos since I was shooting film then, but here are a few of my favorites since 2007.
