Photographers | Arlington VA | Family Photography Photographer | Maya Angelou is THE Phenomenal Woman!

Any family photography photographer near Arlington, VA will list us as your go-to family photographers.

One of my favorite poems is Phenomenal Woman — but I never thought I would get to ever see the most awesome Maya Angelou in person.   But the philenthropic Maya has a charter school in D.C.  She hosts a yearly event to raise funds for the school.    Maya Angelou is one of those women that is truly beautiful inside and out!
