Sports Photography: Girls Soccer in Loudoun County

One of my favorite things to capture is girls sports. Whether it is soccer, field hockey, gymnastics or even Powderpuff Football, I just love it. I remember being at a game last spring where boys soccer was playing before the girls. There were 5 male photographers there. They all left before the girls started playing. I was the only photographer there. I also think it is important to be a woman covering girls sports. I think it is one reason my photos stand out to the young women who follow me.

Kids who want to be recruited for college should have an Instagram account that showcases them on the field: both videos and photos. As a mom who has had one child who played Division 1 Softball and another who received offers from Division 3 colleges, I know the importance. I am available for hire to capture athletes during a game. From a client, “It means THE WORLD to me to feel what my daughter is feeling out there on the pitch. You’ve captured the grit, the resilience and the intensity somehow. I’m moved.” These words meant so much to me as I try so hard to capture the spirit of the player – not only the game itself. When viewing photos from a game, I want someone to see it unfold without even having been there.

I am also available for Senior Nights – just reach out to me to get on my calendar. I do these free of charge and provide the low-res photos to the teams. I also have special pricing for high school sports photos. I can travel throughout the Washington DC area to include Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC. Want to see more?

Spring Tulip Portrait Sessions

Spring is my favorite time of year for portraits. Autumn is a close second because of the fall colors but with spring you are guaranteed flowers and green and beautiful weather. Tulips are a particular favorite of mine and I have enjoyed taking portraits with tulips. A whole field of tulips provides a beautiful backdrop for individuals who love color.

My location of choice is always Burnside Farms. They provide wonderful customer service, a beautiful location and the tulips are top notch. Each year I go not only with clients but also by myself to capture the colorful tulips. Often they have props that are useful as well. This is the same farm that I go to for sunflowers.

Each time I have worked with a client at Burnside they have loved their images. You really wouldn’t even know that we were surrounded by people. That is one thing that makes my portraits special. I work hard to get angles and shots that minimize crowds. Often times, I am also able to edit out people if necessary. There are times, of course, where it isn’t possible but I do my best to make sure when you receive your prints that you feel like you had the whole field to yourself.

Now is the time to schedule your tulips sessions. Once Burnside Farms releases their schedule, we get approximately 2 weeks for sessions. This year I will be doing mini sessions if I see enough interest. The mini sessions will be 20 mins, $150 and include 1 8×10 print (digital file included). Additional images will be made available at 30% off my regular prices. Clients must buy their own ticket to Burnside Farms. Please note: Late clients will give up their fee and whatever time is left in the session will be utilized as best as possible. Clients who miss their session completely will not receive a refund and rescheduling will be $50.

Interested? Please be sure to let me know!
