A new little fresh baby around the holidays the ultimate Christmas gift. Coming from a religious background, newborn babies around that time of year pull at my heartstrings in a special kind of way. This little one was born a few days ahead of schedule (Christmas Day), and actually interrupted the decorating of their Christmas tree! When I got to their home, the top half of the tree had lights, and the bottom half was bare. It was a happy reminder of reality, the chaos, and the re-prioritized joy that a new life brings.

The Traveling Table of Georgetown…

You have booked your session. CONGRATULATIONS. You are about to experience a completely custom, unique-to-you makeover and photoshoot to create gorgeous fine art portraits that show you off to the world!

So… now what?

Now….. you prepare. Just a few things to do as you get ready for your big day! 

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

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…

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. 

What on earth is better than 4 generations of women getting together to celebrate the life and legacy of their matriarch? 

Absolutely nothing. Nothing could be better.

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.
