Juliana’s initial inquiry said she wanted “vintage inspired photos at a museum”. How iconic. As a DC based photographer, I thought the National Gallery of Art would provide the perfect backdrop for their love story and match her vision perfectly. If I had to describe how this session turned out with one sentence it would be, “Old money vibes with modern flair”. I just love that!!

We carefully planned the timing of their photo session for a Monday afternoon, in hopes of avoiding crowds and capture the soft, warm light that filters through the gallery’s skylights. Unfortunately, I overlooked the fact that our session happened the first Monday of Spring Break (doh!) so parking was a bit hectic – but nevertheless, our time in the museum was wonderful!

As we began our session, it was clear that Juliana and Amir were a perfect match with the best style. Their stunning choice in outfits truly helped bring her original vision to life.

Behind the Vision

As their session continued, it was evident that Julian and Amir were comfortable in front of the camera and crowds, and very much enjoying their time with each other. I was able to step back and document some wonderfully candid images of them as they relished in these precious moments and each others company. In all honesty, this is always my favorite part of sessions. I love being able to see the way couples interact with each other in their natural state.
