Northern Virginia Family Photographer
Northern Virginia Family Photographer for Natural, Relaxed Photos
I offer joy-filled family sessions for laid-back, loving families throughout the Northern Virginia area and beyond who want real connection, genuine moments, and beautiful memories without the stiff poses or stress. Family sessions take place right at home or familiar outdoor neighborhood spaces where your kids can move, explore, and be themselves.
If you’d rather spend your session playing with your kids, walking together, and soaking in this season of life instead of worrying about everyone standing still and smiling at the camera, you’re in the right place and I’d love to work with you!
Sessions are designed to be simple and fully taken care of start to finish so you can just show up and enjoy your family.
I photograph families throughout Northern Virginia, including Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, and McLean, as well as Washington, D.C. neighborhoods.
Hi! I’m Tabitha, your Northern Virginia family photographer!
So happy you’re here! I’m a family photographer based in Kensington, Maryland, serving families across Northern Virginia area and beyond.
I’m also a mom so I know how quickly these seasons change. The chaos, the sweet moments, and all of those things that happen in between are all worth remembering!
During your session I’ll gently guide you so you feel comfortable. I’m not here to over-pose your family or force smiles. I follow your kids’ lead so we can capture real connection and personality. We’ll focus on connection, movement, and the natural moments that unfold when you’re together.
My goal is for you to have a relaxed and enjoyable experience where you can actually be with your family while I take care of documenting it all.
You’ll walk away with a gallery of images that feel like your family right now so when you look back years from now, you don’t just remember what you looked like, you remember how it felt.

The Family Session Experience
When you book a session with me you don’t need to worry about picture perfect behavior or stressing over how things will look. If you want photos that genuinely reflect this season of life and surprise moments of connection you’re in the right place!
Family sessions are relaxed, flexible, and designed to feel easy.
We’ll choose a location that fits your family, plan around the best light, and keep things simple so you can focus on being together.
I’ll guide you when needed, but never force moments. The best images come from real connection, not perfection.
Check out some sessions on the blog:
“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.
