Allison Relaxes at Takoma Park Studio

Allison loves relaxing with a total makeover and an all-day photography session. She visited my new Takoma Park studio this summer, and we had a blast shooting in the yard, on the deck, and in the “girl cave.” As a Navy veteran, Allison wanted some photos in tribute to her service as shown by her…

Ballerina Dreaming

Allison is dressed as a ballerina in a black leotard and white, full skirt. She wears black ballet shoes. She is on a corner of a wood deck with a large pine tree and the purple-blue sky of twilight behind her.

Allison has always dreamed of being a ballerina.

Glamour in the Girl Cave

Allison wears longer, blond hair with a blue, velvet dress with a white faux fur wrap. She is seated for this waist-up shot.

Glamorous! There’s nothing quite like pearls, velvet, and faux fur to make one feel glamorous!

Noir lighting lends a mysterious feel to the image.
