Maternity Session by the River | Maternity Photographer in Washington DC

With the weather starting to slowly warm up I am so excited for more of these beautiful maternity sessions along the Potomac River in Washington DC. I know when many people think of a Washington DC maternity session, they think of being near the monuments. Don’t get me wrong I love monument sessions, but this area by the river is such a gem too! It is especially beautiful on a warm early summer evening with the dreamiest light.

I am lucky to call this beautiful Mom a good friend. I’ve had the honor of photographing their whole family with big sister and brother over the years. For their third baby though, we decided to give her and this little one their own moment.

Unique locations for your Washington DC maternity session

It was such a lovely evening to explore some of my favorite spots along the Potomac River. I have found so many beautiful, unique spots for sessions here. It was so peaceful too – such a perfect spot to let the focus be all on Mom and her sweet bump. We took a few moments to let her dip her toes in the water (me included!) and move amongst the rocks. Those might be some of my favorite portraits from this session!

Mom looked so breathtaking in a classic white linen maxi dress. It draped beautifully on her bump and was perfect for a summer session. I’m literally counting down the days until we can do more sessions like this!

If you’re pregnant and hoping to schedule a maternity session in the Washington DC area, reach out here soon. I book up several months in advance.

For those that are contemplating an in-home newborn, maternity or family session and hesitating because they think their home isn’t photoshoot worthy… in-home portrait sessions aren't about the perfect decor or flawless interiors. They're about capturing the essence of your family's love and connections. 

So, let's embrace the imperfections, relish in the chaos, and celebrate the love that fills our homes. For in the end, it's not the furnishings that make a house a home—it's the light and love that shine brightly through the lens of your family. 💖

Investing in family photos is so important and but what good are those photos if they live in the cloud or on a hard drive for all of eternity?

One of the best way to capture the essence of your family’s unique story is with heirloom art. Investing in timeless pieces from your photo session ensures that the beauty of your moments lives on for generations. 

You can transform memories into art, and let your family legacy adorn the walls and your home with love, laughter, and cherished connections.

Enjoyed an epic ski and super bowl weekend with good friends this weekend and it’s back in the office today. The best weekends always go far too quickly! 

And I am the only one who feels the Super Bowl hangover/tiredness even more on the Tuesday after vs the Monday? Just found out my kids have a two hour school “snow” delay 🤔☔️ but at least it means I have a slower roll out this morning.

You will find me curled up today editing two sweet newborn sessions and resting my VERY sore ski legs. 

Side note: Spring session inquiries and bookings are in full swing so if you are thinking about an outdoor spring family or maternity session or your pregnant and due this spring and want to get a session on my calendar, reach out soon for more details to ensure I still have availability. February and March are now completely booked but I still have some availability for mid to late April and a few spots still open in May and June. Follow the link in my profile to reach out. 🌷🌺
