Mini Fashion Session | Olivia's "Night Out"
"Elegance is the only beauty that never fades"
-Audrey Hepburn
If there is one thing to be said about Olivia it is that she is one of the most elegant youngins' I have ever met! Her presence is never without grace and she has an impeccable sense of style.
A combo of natural beauty, sophistication, and youth made her so easy to photograph.
This shoot was another mini fashion session for D.C. based boutique Proper Topper's fall brochure
Enjoy!

Kim & James | Mini Fall Lifestyle Shoot
FALLing in love.....
There are so many wonderful things to say about Kim and James! To steer away from this shoot being too "engagement" I shall refrain from discussing their OBVIOUS chemistry and love/passion for one another (Do with that what you will!).
This shoot was another fun one for the delightful boutique Proper Topper to use for their Fall brochure. Just a good ol' casual lifestyle shoot.
Scenario: Beautiful couple playfully engaging on a brisk fall day before/after casually hat shopping.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Meet PRESSED | Fashion Session
"I like my money where I can see it, hanging in my closet"
- Carrie Bradshaw
I have recently become involved with a new girl boss venture!
A wonderful co-worker and friend of mine started up a new business in the city and invited me to join! I am so excited to be a part of PRESSED and join the team as photographer, stylist and thrifting expert.
This first photo session for the Pressed Blog was so much fun to do and I cannot wait for the next one.
I am so lucky to have people in my life that believe in me and want me to be a part of their life ventures!
Girl Bosses UNITE.

A Business Affair | Barry's Head Shots Old Town,VA
I am lucky to have friends that support me and want to see me succeed with my photography.
This photo shoot was the product my friend Avrielle referring me to a co worker who needed some head shots for a website.
I am used to shooting portraits and being able to use nature and various backgrounds to my photos. I also tend to do some funky editing. The requirements of the head shots were to have neutral backgrounds and mild editing. I knew that I could do it, but it was a bit out of my comfort zone.
Not only due to the type of photo, but I m so used to taking photos of women!!
This would be a man, someone I had never met, and I couldn't use a scenic background......Alas, I am always one to bring on a challenge
I asked Barry to meet near my favorite coffee shop (which is where I always tend to meet people for things!). AS I waited for me I scoped out the area to see where there were some neutral backgrounds. I should have done this pre-shoot, but I am such a day-of type of gal which is kind of a thrill for me. Will the lighting be good? Will I found a good backdrop? What about weather? Most photographers would plan this accordingly. But not I!! I have found in life that things never go as planned so just go with it.....
After scoping out the area, Barry had arrived! He was super nice and I immediately knew we would have a good shoot. I tried to make him feel as comfortable as possible and the session was very lighthearted. We had lots to talk about and found we many things in common! I love making connections like these not only for business but in life.
Connecting with a client helps the session run smoother, and both parties feel more comfortable and at ease which helps the entire flow of the process. I am happy with the results and so is he! I hope to do business with him in the future.
What I learned from this shoot is that I can still get results I am happy with even when I stepout of my comfirt zone :)
XOXO
