A Session in the Heart of the Nation's Capital

We recently had the pleasure of photographing a set of college senior portraits throughout Washington, D.C., choosing breathtaking locations like the Capitol Building and the Lincoln Memorial. These landmark settings aren’t just historically significant—they’re visually stunning and full of character, making them ideal for celebrating your accomplishments.

Whether it’s the elegant steps of the Lincoln Memorial or the grandeur of the Capitol dome in the background, each photo tells a story of ambition, perseverance, and a future filled with promise.
