As Seen on TV: Good Day DC

Good day, DC invited me for a live interview to share my tips on how to look your best for holiday photos. I was able to briefly share about basic posing for the camera and photographing the team there, so they could see their images straight out of the camera. It was so intense and so fast that I could only share and show so little in the given super short timeframe

Annual Mother & Son and Self Portrait Tradition

TOMORROW IS TODAY…

Every year, I intentionally schedule two portrait experiences: one with my teenage son and one for myself.

While I have my own portrait session to celebrate myself and gain a new perspective, just as I do for my clients, the mother-son session is particularly special.

Like many typical teenagers, he does not like to be photographed, but once a year, he grants me full permission, and I take full advantage of it. This allows us to not only capture legacy portraits but also create a very bonding experience.
