Washington, D.C. Family Photographer
Washington, D.C. family photography that feels natural
Natural, joy-filled lifestyle photography for families who want real connection and genuine moments, without stiff poses or stress.
You don’t need perfectly behaved kids or a picture-perfect plan to have meaningful family photos. You just need someone who knows how to meet your family where you are and who can keep things relaxed, follow your kids’ lead, and make the whole experience feel doable (and even fun!). And that’s where I come in!
I create natural family photographs that feel genuine and timeless, without the pressure to perform. The result is a gallery that feels true to your family, full of connection, movement, and the moments you don’t want to forget.
My sessions are calm, playful, and built around your kids being kids. I’ll guide you when you need it and step back when the real moments happen.
Serving families throughout Washington D.C. and beyond who value meaningful memories over perfect poses.

Hi! I’m Tabitha, your D.C. family photographer!
I’m a family and newborn photographer who believes the best photos come from comfort, trust, and a little bit of real life chaos.
I know how to work with kids (even the shy ones, the wild ones, and the ones who need time to warm up). I gently guide families in a way that feels natural and never awkward, so you can relax and be present together.
As both a photographer and a mom, I know how important it is to remember this stage of life just as it is. You don’t need perfect behavior or forced smiles. I want you to show up as you are, and I’ll take care of the rest.
“We had an excellent experience with Tabitha!! She was incredibly patient and kind and was highly attuned to the needs of our kids (when they needed a break, how to connect with them to get some great candid photos). Our pictures turned out better than I could have imagined! Highly recommend her photography services!!” -Rachel P.
I know how fast kids grow. If you want photos that genuinely reflect this season of life and surprise moments of connection you’re in the right place and I can’t wait to work with you!

Gentle guidance, natural moments
I’ll step in when needed and step back when moments unfold naturally, so you can feel comfortable and present with your family.

“Tabitha has been photographing our family for years. I literally have the pictures she’s taken hung up all over my house because they are so gorgeous and perfectly capture my family. Tabitha is professional, nice, fun, down to earth and relatable. We absolutely adore her as a photographer and now also a friend.” -Debbie V.
