Now Loading…. 2026 Senior Portraits

If you have a rising senior at home, you know how fast time moves. One minute they are starting high school and the next thing you know, you are ordering a cap and gown. Senior year is full of big moments and a lot of deadlines. Getting portraits done early can take a big chunk of stress off your plate.

Many families wait until the last minute, but that can mean scrambling for dates, rushing through planning, and settling for whatever is available. When you book early, you get your choice of dates and seasons. Want a warm summer evening session or fall leaves in the background? Those spots go quickly.

Planning now also gives your senior time to get excited instead of feeling rushed. We can talk about locations, outfits, and the overall vibe they want. For some seniors, that’s the fun part. For others, it is a relief to know we have a plan and they just get to show up and enjoy.

I work with each family to create a session that feels natural and personal. We choose locations that mean something to you or just make a stunning backdrop. I guide you through the whole process, so you never have to wonder what’s next.

And here is the best part. Once your session is done and the portraits are ready, you can check one big thing off the senior year list. You can spend the rest of the year enjoying the moments instead of trying to squeeze in a photoshoot during a busy season.

If your teen is graduating in 2026, now is the time to grab a spot. Let’s make their senior portraits something they are proud to share and you are proud to display.

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?
