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.

Miss A

A few weekends back my industrious neighbor Miss “A” wanted to help the Washington Animal Rescue League (WARL) raise some money. They were in need of a new roof and had just sent a mass email to their supporters for help. It just so happened that my neighbors have adopted several animals from the WARL, chief among them was their beloved dog Sasha. Sasha was a bit of a miracle dog on our block. She was blind, survived cancer and had diabetes yet defeated every one of her grim diagnoses and lived to the rip old age of 13. So the WARL holds a special place in their hearts.

So when the WARL sent out a call for funds “A” decided to host a charity car wash to help. She charged $10 a car and .$50 for lemonade and popsicles. After three days car washes over two weekends, 7 volunteers (not including her parents), a box of freeze pops from Costco, and countless glasses of lemonade she raised a total $684.00. Not bad considering her volunteers would down two glasses of lemonade and eat two Popsicle for every car they washed
