Arlington Virginia Fall Family Portraits

Danielle and I have been friends for over 20 years – sorority sisters, college roommates, and my go-to gal for fun and trouble making!  It’s such an honor when friends hire me to photograph their families.  Danielle chose Fort Ward Park for their portrait session location and it had the perfect fall feel!

Cleveland, Ohio Wedding at Temple Emanu El

Abby & Yoshi live in DC. Abby is from Cleveland, like me, and she grew up not too far from where I grew up, in an East Side suburb. I love photographing weddings in Cleveland as it gives me an extra chance to visit with family, especially my nieces and nephews who are growing up so fast!  I’ve had the privilege of photographing a number weddings in Cleveland for couples like Abby & Yoshi who live in DC, as well as for some Cleveland based couples.  I was fortunate once again to collaborate on this wedding with Chris Williams (Zoeica Images).

One of my favorite things about Abby & Yoshi’s wedding at Temple Emanu El was the way they personalized it and made their traditional Jewish wedding their very own. It was a lovely blending of tradition and personal touches.  The synagogue was overflowing with joy as friends and family roasted and toasted the couple at their separate tische.  And the tears of happiness were flowing as the separate parties joined together during the bedeken and for the signing of the ketubah. The music and singing, the laughter, the love; it was like being in the middle of a big warm hug.  Their ceremony was full of stories and lessons about life and love and friendship and taking risks.

The horah was one of the most fun and lively I have seen.  Everyone was smiling and dancing! The dancing was followed by wonderful toasts.  Abby’s younger sister and brother read pages from the autobiography Abby wrote in elementary school. There was non-stop laughing as passage after hilarious passage was read to the guests.  What a great idea and such a nice departure from the usual wedding toasts (although to be fair, I do hear more wedding toasts than most!).

Outdoor Wedding at Thomas Birkby House :: Leesburg Wedding Photographer

Kayla & Aaron’s wedding at the Thomas Birkby House in Leesburg, Virginia was on a perfect spring day in May.  There was a lovely spirit of family and joy surrounding Kayla and Aaron.  The couple met in high school but they were friends for many years before they started dating.  It was a beautiful day, full of touching and funny toasts, fun dances, great friends and lots of family showering the couple with love.  I was honored to photograph this wedding with Chris Williams (Zoeica Images)

Sweet 16 Birthday Celebration at Maggiano’s Tysons Corner :: McLean Family Photographer

Last month I had the privilege to photograph a wonderful family celebration for a sweet 16 birthday at Maggiano’s Little ItalyTysons Corner.  The love that flowed in the party room was tremendous and I felt so honored to be witness to such a loving and caring family.  And the bond between mom and daughter was clearly something special.
