Family photography | Dunn Loring VA | Family portrait photographers | Rhys and Katie
Family portrait photographers near Dunn Loring VA do family photography.
Ever After Portraits is a mother-daughter team who specialize in wedding photography — we are wedding photojournalist, who capture moments that tell the love story of our brides and grooms. We also do engagement photography, destination wedding photography, day after, trash the dress, family portraits, and lifestyle portrait sessions.
We were honored to be a part of such an important day in Rhys and Katie’s life. The beginning of their family. The start of all their traditions.
Some traditions are so unique and special that they are passed down from generation to generation. Petworth United Methodist Church has been in Katie’s family for over 100 years. The sun from the beautiful stained glass windows played across the faces of all those that watched during the ceremony as two people became one.
As photographers, we value tradition very highly. Time stops for no man. But with photography, you can collect all those special moments we hold so dear to us forever. This is why we predesigned an album for you, Rhys and Katie. We hope you like it.
Rhys loves Katie . . . you can tell.

Portrait Studio | Clifton VA | Family portrait photographer near me| Are you stealing from your photographer?
If you’re looking for a family portrait photographer near me, Clifton VA then you’ve come to the right portrait studio!
Reading a friend who is a photographer’s blog recently, I came across her post below and I just had to share it — you see, this is a very personal issue to me, too:
“I came across this blog post that I wanted to share. A woman admits to stealing from her photographer by scanning photos instead of paying for them. She felt guilty yet continues to do it because she feels entitled to “more than what she paid for. The original article has been removed because the website doesn’t want to advocate it. But in comment #45 is a link to her original posting.
As a photographer this is very personal to me and it’s frustrating to read the views of consumers who don’t understand the business. Other photographers have posted our point of view. I understand (yet disagree) with some of the consumers point of views. Hopefully some of them will read the photographers’ responses and understand that point of view.”

Thought I would give Ryan and Valerie a peek at what their guest book could look like! For this beautiful couple, it would be a shame not to have a custom guest book to show off their images, don’t you agree?

Well, we had the best time with Valerie and Ryan — we were so happy to be working with this shy, but very much in love couple. Valerie and Ryan were high school sweethearts, who took a break and then found each other again — well, that’s a story close to my heart, as my hubby and I are high school sweethearts. Being with them, I really got a sense that they were long time friends who were really at ease with each other.We always like things that are different and unique, so right away, we liked their sense of adventure in having their engagement images at the National Gallery of Art, which is just the kewlest place!! This place brought out our sense of adventure and encouraged us to try some dramatic shots with different lighting effects.

Photographer |Oakton VA |Family photographer reviews| Joriana In The Snow
If you’re looking for family photographer reviews for a photographer near Oakton, VA then you’ve come to the right place!
So it finally snowed — and what a perfect setting for some winter portraits! My little “Freckles” is growing up…;>} I think the time is right for a new wall portrait of Joriana, so off we went down to our new pond (big thanks to honey bunny for all the backhoe and dozer work to put it in and for adding the waterfall…;>})
Soon, the portrait side of our website will be up and we will be offering all types of portraits — this slideshow is typical of what you will see as a client.
But I’m still a mom…and it’s a hard choice for me to just choose one…be sure to let me know your favorite in your comment!
