1. Lilia & Alex | Washington, DC Lifestyle Photographer

    As promised last week on Tanashia’s mentor session recap- Alex & Lily’s full session!

    These two were the perfect models for us! And we had just as much fun photographing them as they did being photographed :) I love when couples can just be themselves and relax completely- and Lily & Alex did just that.

  2. Dickson Wine Bar | Washington, DC Business Photographer

    Happy Tuesday lovelies!

    One of the last sessions to share that I didn’t get a chance to blog over the past few months is a session I did with Dickson Wine Bar a couple months ago. You might remember this beautiful location from the Neon + Neutral Editorial I did last year. The manager Ed was kind enough to let us use this beautiful venue for the shoot so I shot a few photos of him and the bar in exchange :)

    Be sure to go visit Dickson when you get a chance- the food and drinks are great and I’m sure Ed would be happy to see some new faces :)

  3. Yasmin | Washington, DC Photographer Mentor

    Next up on the blog today is Yasmin!

    I met Yasmin and her husband Calvin in September of last year when they took advantage of a mini special and  it was the beginning of a beautiful relationship :)

    I then worked with her again the following month when she scheduled another mini for family photos!

    Needless to say I was thrilled when her husband got in touch with me to book a mentor session for her a few months ago :) We had so much fun! I actually think it was my best to date! With each session I’m able to improve my teaching methods and it feels so good when I’m able to explain something and see their eyes light up because they get it!

    That’s exactly what happened with Yasmin and I couldn’t be happier with how the session went. She had several lightbulb moments and I can’t wait to watch her work progress :)

    We then met up with our models Kisha and Lamont as we put her new skills to use :)

  4. Tanashia | Washington, DC Photography Mentor

    Happy Thursday you guys! Can you believe how many new sessions have been posted this week? I didn’t realize I had so many! Continuing right along today, I have a couple mentor sessions to share with you.

    First up is Tanashia! After chatting via email for a few months, we got together back in March for her mentor session. Tanashia actually came down from NYC JUST for this so I definitely wanted to make sure it was worth her while :)

    She had a good understanding of camera settings and the basics so we built on that. I shared my method of shooting, suggestions for getting her business going, along with a few tips and tricks along the way… We had a great time!

    Meet Tanashia! And be sure to check her out on facebook HERE!

    After her mini session, we met up with our lovely models Lily & Alex! These two were so sweet! And I think deserve their very own post so I’ll only post a few here :) Stay tuned for their full session tomorrow!

  5. Natalie | Washington, DC Business Photographer

    Next up for today is another business promo session- this time with Natalie!

    Natalie reached out back in March in need of new images for her personal brand as she transitions into life coaching. Fun fact: She found me by googling “DC Lifestyle Photography”. I was so excited about that fact alone that I decided to google it and see where I fell in the lineup… to my surprise: guess who was the number one search result?!! I couldn’t believe it!

    Anyway, back to her session lol. Natalie mentioned in her initial email that she felt instantly connected to my style and images after viewing the blog and I loved that! It is an amazing feeling to know that your work connects with others. The day of Natalie’s session came and I was in awe- the home where we took the photos was absolutely beautiful (as you’ll see :) Stephanie and I had a great time spending the afternoon with Natalie and her photos turned out beautifully! An accurate reflection of her warm and bubbly personality :)
