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

Judee & Justin, what a pair! These two are first time expecting parents and I could not be more thrilled to have documented this part of their journey. This may be the last set of images they have together as a party of 2! They are expecting identical twins in the next few months and will be surprised by the gender on delivery day!

Washington DC Maternity Photos | Thomas Jefferson Memorial Maternity Session | Judee and Justin

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 known Allison for nearly 10 years now! We actually went to high school together in Delray Beach, Florida. Because the world is extremely small, it just so turns out that I would be in her neck of the woods during my trip out west! I got the opportunity to photograph her adorable family and meet her little rugrats, Zach & Adelaide during an early morning session at Arches National Park in Moab, Utah.

Arches National Park | Utah Lifestyle Photography | The England Family

Lately, I have been getting a lot of inquiries for Lifestyle sessions. While I focus primarily on weddings and engagements, I will make certain exceptions (mainly for past clients and friends) and delve into the world of family and lifestyle photography. I wanted to create this resource for my clients to explain the kind of photography I do and do not do when it comes to these sessions! Definitely reach out for pricing and availability if the info below applies to you!

From Bride to Baby | Kir Tuben Family Education | Maternity and Lifestyle Photos

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!

Federal Triangle Engagement | District of Columbia Engagement Photos | Koji and Ritzy

As you may (or may not) know, I have officially launched my photography workshop called The Real Talk Workshop. We get it Kir… you’re hosting a workshop. So why then am I writing a blog post about it? Well, I don’t really think a landing page on my site is doing this event justice. I want to really dive in and explain the passion behind this project.

You may not believe it but this is the SECOND puppy announcement shoot I have done in my career. Some might think that hiring a professional photographer for your pet is “extra” but actually I think it celebrates some of the best moments in your everyday life! Pets (especially doggos) become such a huge part of your family that I think it is sweet to commemorate their childhood with some quality images!

DC Lifestyle Shoot | Puppy Announcement Photos | Cale and Lori

I will preface this blog post by saying that I rarely shoot family sessions. This year, I have decided to specialize in weddings and engagements because that is what my heart feels the happiest doing. When Cynthia contacted me, I made the exception to capture her family at the monuments because I really feel like I clicked with her even though we had never met in person.
