Formal and classic family portraits that stand the test of time is the secret to instantly upgrading your home’s interior design.

In this brief video I share my #1 tip for styling children !Now, if you’re going for a very fashion/avant garde look, or a themed portrait, this may not apply – but when you’re trying to style your children for a “Forever” portrait for the wall, and you want to go classic, start here!

She is, in every sense of the word, a woman. Powerful, beautiful, wise, graceful, and tough as nails…

I was sure she would say no, but I had to try, so I asked if she would model for me and to my astonishment and delight she said yes in the prettiest English accent I’ve ever heard. 

Sometimes headshot and personal branding isn’t supposed to be suit-and-tie, all buttoned up, clean shaven. Sometimes they are supposed to look like you got up and walked of the Art of Manliness blog and sat down in a photo studio. 

“There’s a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking. But behind all your stories is always your mother’s story, because hers is where yours begin.”

Is there even anything better than a baby at Christmas? 

Even though the majority of the portraits I take are now in my new Georgetown photography studio on the square, I still relish the chance to do a lovely “Lifestyle” shoot with a family or newborn. 

What makes a lifestyle shoot different from a studio shoot? A few things…

Because it’s Friday, and we all need a cute little baby video to kick off the weekend, right? (***allllllll the heart-eye emojis here***)

September is only hours away and most of us get nostalgic, if not a little weepy as we say goodbye to our days of summer to memory. And for this bride, who had an early summer wedding at Grace Heritage in Georgetown, you picked the best summer day to get married – those stunning pink heritage roses were in wild summer bloom all over the place. 

I would love to book YOU for a custom, stylish family portrait in my studio. Own a family portrait that your family treasures for the years to come, or just a portrait to put on your Christmas card to get you through the year ahead.
