You always hear “it goes by so fast.” It’s true.
Fine art storytelling for families in Northern Virginia, at a location you love or somewhere golden outdoors.
Portraits your family will actually hang, and still love in twenty years.
One year they are steadying themselves to take their first steps, and it seems like the next they are studying for finals. We believe in capturing the day-to-day moments too, but we also want you to have gorgeous, meaningful portraits of your family to enjoy on your walls, not just on a hard drive.









Let’s play dress up. Or baseball.
Our childhood sessions are designed to capture your children enjoying their world and the little things that light their faces up. Let’s have a tea party or build a fort. Would you rather capture them with their favorite toys or tell a story between siblings? Every session is customizable, and we work with you to create something your family will cherish.










Every childhood deserves a fairy tale.
We love to build a full story around a child: a costume, a set, a season. The fisherman with his catch of the day, the traveler with a bindle on a country road, the girl in the window. These are the portraits that end up as the big canvas over the fireplace.






One childhood and one family experience per month.
We keep our calendar small on purpose. It means a design meeting before your session, our full attention on the day, and a private ordering appointment afterward where you see your finished portraits and choose the artwork that goes home with you.
Expertly guided, start to finish.
You do not need to know how to pose, where to look, or where to place your hands and feet. We guide you through the entire process, modeling the very poses we are asking of you.
Schedule a consultation with us and we will walk you through the experience, answer any questions you have, and get you booked if you love what you hear.
We offer a 60-minute, in-person design meeting to go over your goals and plan your custom session, working together to create imagery you love.
Pick out and purchase your favorites during your private ordering appointment and enjoy your best portraits ever.
Michelle is extremely talented and so good at putting people at ease. Her prep team is wonderful and we spent the whole day laughing and having fun together. Highly, highly recommend.
