Six magical holiday sets
Limited holiday dates by request · Private studio near Tysons Corner, Virginia
See the packagesI would love to welcome your family for an unforgettable holiday portrait experience. Every season my private studio near Tysons Corner, about 15 miles from downtown DC, turns into a small winter world, and this year there are six Christmas sets, from a snowy ivory branch to a candlelit hot cocoa street. Choose one of my Christmas mini sessions or the Full Christmas Experience across all six sets, and take home portraits for your cards, your walls and your family album.
