I love capturing high school seniors in their element. This Northern Virginia senior got dressed up in a tulle gown and black tank top for her portrait session at Morven Park, Leesburg.

Something about this pose reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. It must be the black and white tiles.

She decided to bring her German Short Hair Pointer to the portrait session. They look so elegant together.

I enjoy working with dogs. It’s always great when families bring them to their photo session.

One of the keys to taking great senior portraits is to know how to make the subject relax in front of the camera.

Props also help relax people when they are in front of the camera. This flower is the perfect addition to this senior portrait given the gardens at Morven Park.

Black and white gives a great feel to this Northern Virginia high school senior.

Spring is the best time to photograph at Morven Park located in Leesburg, VA. The gardens and flowers are stunning!

We took some images of her dog and her by the reflecting pool.

Sometimes a different perspective can give a model like pose to your portrait.

Saving the best for last. I love this image and how the camera has captured her soul through the eyes.
