Bress Family’s DC Portraits

Erin Scott — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 15:58:04 +0000

I love it when parents are ok with their kids’ goofiness. It really helps lighten the mood during the photography session. And for a couple moments here and there, it makes the little ones forget I’m holding a camera, which is when we get the best smiles! Please induldge me while I will brag about [...]

Angel Family’s DC Portraits

I met up with the Angel family on a beautiful sunny day in Washington DC for some family portraits. Justin and I have a lot of tricks for making children laugh, but we were stumped by these two at first. That is, until mom said “now whatever you do, don’t smile!” It worked every time, [...]

You don’t have to be celebrating a wedding or milestone to get glammed up for a photography session!

Erin and David were married on a beautiful fall day at the historic Kent Manor Inn on Kent Island, Maryland. It was nice to get out of Washington DC for a change of scenery. And as you’ll see in the photos below, the scenery was gorgeous! Erin and David chose a Chesapeake Bay theme for [...]

Earlier this year I had the opportunity to photograph gorgeous bride-to-be Janice at her former High School, Georgtown Visitation in Washington DC. Georgetown Visitation is a historic prep school founded in 1799, and the buildings and grounds are breathtakingly beautiful. I couldn’t believe there were stained glass windows in the classrooms! Capturing a lovely woman in such [...]

The summer theme continues with Karyn and Olivia’s gorgeous family session. Mom did an amazing job with wardrobe and props. And how cute is Olivia with her flower headband and “Olivia” book? I love it! The gardens around the Smithsonian in DC were so green and beautiful that we stayed there for the whole session. [...]

Let me just say that I loved photographing this session. I had been wanting to create a shoot that really felt like summer, and Max and Colleen were the perfect couple for it! For their engagement session, we romped around the National Mall early in the morning looking for bright colors and beautiful sunlight. They [...]

After a beautiful engagement shoot back in April, I was so excited to photograph Megan and Jonathan’s wedding day in Northwest DC . They are both professional musicians, and you could feel the anticipation mount as each participant arrived at Foundry United Methodist with a new instrument. They didn’t disappoint! The music in Megan and [...]
