Twice a year, I offer family mini sessions: once at the holidays and once in springtime! I think these moments are so important to capture because kiddos tend to grow up so quickly that photos twice a year barely cut it! While holiday cards and updates are important, so are springtime celebrations!

Spring Mini Sessions | District of Columbia Cherry Blossom Mini Sessions | 2019

I learn so much about human relationships by photographing anniversary sessions. Because I shoot mostly weddings and engagements, I most often see couples at the beginning stages of their relationship. Anniversary sessions have shown me that I love getting to see more seasoned couples into a few years of their marriage. The way they interact, talk about their lives now and the things that fill their lives are so different.

Washington DC Anniversary Photos | Jefferson Memorial Engagement | Joanne and Oscar

Don’t you think this looks like an Anthropologie add?! I don’t often shoot families but I just can’t say no to Adleigh and Chace! They are the perfect clients. They are super in love and have the easiest/most smiley little girl on the planet. I am heartbroken that these two moved to Iowa right after this session. This little family wanted one last photo session in their favorite spot overlooking the city. Adleigh decided to pack a little picnic which was the perfect way to enjoy the grassy spot near the Iwo Jima memorial.

DC Family Picnic | Washington DC Lifestyle Photographer | Ramey Family

I have ALWAYS wanted to shoot at Federal Triangle!! I am so so happy that Ritzy and Koji jumped on board with my vision! We both have the same taste in cityscapes and love all things french. We began our morning at Lincoln and ended in the middle of DC for from European inspired backdrops. Cafe inspired engagement photos? Yes please!

It’s SUPER rare for me to snap an in home session like this one but I couldn’t say no to Adleigh and Chace! I reserve family sessions for past clients and I just KNEW this one would be an instant favorite of mine. Adleigh and I are style twins; we have a mutual love of blush, Lulus and blogger Amber Fillerup! Her nursery stepped out of my dreams! If Ben and I ever venture into this stage of life, Adleigh will be my first call for home design tips!
