The Everyday Life of a Washington DC Child Photographer

Thanks for visiting!

Hi I’m Emily. I am a Washington, DC fine art child and family photographer. I am the photographer for families that are looking beyond the perfectly posed portrait in your “Sunday Best” and want something more spirited, authentic, and artistically captures you real life. My favorite clients are adventurous, fun-loving, quirky, and have a desire to showcase that unique spirit in photographically artistic ways.

This blog is where I post my most recent sessions with clients, commercial assignments, my charitable photo projects and my personal photo projects. In additional I want to help parents display and take photos of their kids. I strongly believe that all kids deserve to feel like they are heard and seen int he world, and a great way to do that is through photography.

My hope is that by reading my posts and viewing my work you will see my creative viewpoint and think of me when searching for a photographer to help you create art of your child and family. Or maybe you will pick up on a technique or way of seeing that enables you to capture your kids in a different light. And hopefully you will find inspiration about how to display and showcase photos of your kids and family. Please leave me your thoughts, questions or ideas as a comment on the blog, or shoot me an email. I love the door that photography opens for connecting with other people, especially those that are as passionate about photography as I am.

Summer time fun

Posted in personal

Don’t know about you but we have been busy over here. Back to school, back to work,back to our routines. And right now I am in the midst of the busiest season of all…the lead up to the Holidays. If you are thinking about booking a session in time for cards, prints, anything for Holiday gifts…CALL NOW! My calender is filling up fast and there are very few slots open in which I can guarantee a delivery by the Holidays.

Meanwhile…I installed a brand spanking new shopping cart onto my site that WORKS! Anyone who struggles with my old one will greatly appreciate this new feature. And with a new cart is new pricing for the fall and some new products. Already posted about the Flush Mount Storyboards HERE. And about new Float Mount prints HERE.

In my off moments when I need a break, I have been trying to wade through the over 1000 ( yes that is right 1000!) images I took while on vacation in the Outer Banks this summer. It might take me until January to get them all proofed and edited…but it is fun to look through and remember good time with good friends. So here are a few of my favorites so far…and I don’t even feel like I have scratched the surface.
