PHOTOGRAPHY IN ARLINGTON + NORTHERN VIRGINIA
Warm, artful photographs with gentle direction, real connection, and room for all the beautiful unpredictability in between.
Back in Arlington throughout the year.
I return to Arlington throughout the year for family portraits,
maternity and newborn sessions, milestones, and other moments worth
remembering. Seasonal family sessions are offered on select weekends,
with fall dates usually filling first.
Looking for something outside my scheduled Arlington weekends?
Get in touch. I’m always happy to talk about a private session and
see what we can make work.
Engagements, anniversaries, grandparents, teenage best friends — any two people with history, connection, and lots of love between them.
Portraits that capture who they are right now — the missing teeth, the favorite dinosaur, the tutu they won't take off, the shy smile, the wild energy, and all those faces you know and love.
A little direction, plenty of movement, and room for your family to be yourselves. The big smiles, the belly laughs, the snuggles, and all the wonderfully unpredictable moments in between.
Quiet, unhurried photographs of your first days together. Tiny fingers, sleepy stretches, new routines, and the details that already feel impossible to imagine forgetting.
The quiet last weeks before everything changes — the growing belly, the gentle waiting, and the anticipation of who is about to join your family.
Birthdays, anniversaries, simchas and the days that gather your favorite people together. Photojournalism-inspired — capturing candid moments, real connection, and a little guidance when it helps.
BEHIND THE CAMERA
Hi, I’m Alex — a photographer, actor, mother of two, and Arlington native.
Arlington is home, and I genuinely love coming back to photograph families here. The sound of cicadas in the summer, the Yorktown drumline somewhere off in the distance, vine-ripened tomatoes from my mom’s garden, that unmistakable suburban mix of freshly cut grass and somebody firing up the grill — it all still feels like home to me.
I return throughout the year, and one of my favorite parts of photographing here is seeing so many of the same families come back as their children grow.
I’ll give you enough direction to feel comfortable, then leave room for your family to move, play, connect, and just be together. I’m always watching for what happens in between: the hand reaching for yours, the full-body laugh, the quiet look, the kid who suddenly decides the session is actually pretty fun.
KIND WORDS FROM FAMILIES I’VE PHOTOGRAPHED
“Alex made the whole experience feel effortless. She gave us just enough direction without making anything feel posed, and somehow captured every child’s personality—including the moments we didn’t even realize were happening. The photographs feel joyful, honest, and completely like us.”
— The Silver Family
