So often in life, we don’t slow down to really appreciate the every day, the usual, the mundane. So much goes uncaptured. That said, I wanted to take 30 minutes on moving day to memorialize our first day in our new home in Alexandria, Virginia.

Northern Virginia Lifestyle Photographer | Move in Day Session | Personal Post

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

Now, it’s not often I do maternity sessions, but when my sister-in-law is expecting, I can’t say no! Jenni is my sister by marriage but she would totally be my sister by choice. Not only did we both marry Tuben men but we also have the same taste in food, weddings and are crazy cat ladies together! We got to know each other during her wedding planning process a few years back. Their initial plan was to tie the knot on the very property we took these photos on! Since the rain changed their plans, we headed out to her grandmother’s property in Marshall, Virginia to take the portraits Jenni always wanted!

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!
