Washington, D.C. Family Photography
Joy-filled family photos, full of real connection and genuine moments.
Hi! I’m Tabitha, your D.C. Family Photographer!
I’m a family and newborn photographer who makes it easy to have photos you love without spending your session worrying about poses, perfect behavior, or whether your kids are cooperating. I’ll gently guide you, keep things moving, and create space for the real connection and joy that makes your family yours.
I know how to work with kids (even the wild ones!). 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.
Washington, D.C. family photography that feels natural
You don’t need a perfectly behaved family or a picture-perfect plan to have photos you love. Your session is a chance to slow down, be together, and let your family’s personalities take the lead while I create the space for the good stuff to happen.
We’ll start with a little direction so everyone knows what to do, then we’ll move, play, explore, cuddle, and follow your kids wherever their energy takes us. I’ll step in when you need guidance and step back when the moments happening naturally are the ones worth photographing.
Serving families throughout Washington, D.C. and beyond who want photos that feel like their family, not a collection of perfectly posed pictures that could belong to anyone.

A few kind words from my families:
“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.
“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.
