This summer has brought me so much portrait happiness! Here’s a sneak peek at Neil’s in-home portraits marking his 18 months of baby fun.
First Portrait Session of 2021 ~ Newborn Neven!
Claire and Roger welcomed baby Neven at the end of December, what a wonderful and happy way to end 2020! And my camera couldn’t get enough of him, from his precious button nose to his tiny little toes, this in-home newborn session was one of my favorites for sure! They are a good looking couple, but their warmth, easy going demeanor, and pure love for their changing (for the better!) family shines through in their smiles and the twinkle in their eye makes their family even more beautiful. It was such a pleasure to photograph Neven after meeting Claire and Roger at their wedding this summer.
Congratulations!!!
Family Christmas Photos ~ in home portraits
Deck the halls with boughs of holly!
Wrapping up this holiday family portrait season with one of my favorite families - I’ve had the privilege of photographing these kiddos from 0 to now - and look how big and bright eyed they are! They had a great time showing me their favorite ornaments, and little Kai broke out his guitar for a full-on concert!
Happy Holidays, everyone!
In-home Family Portraits :: Dreamy sunset afternoon photo shoot
It’s been a few years since I last had the pleasure of photographing this happy bunch, and I’m thrilled they’ve finally moved from Cali to DC! Because that means I can take their portraits more often ;) Emerson is growing up into a beautiful young lady, and I just loved seeing their new home. We had a blast running around their backyard taking portraits a couple hours before sunset, when the golden light came through the trees and gracefully lit up their pool, garden, and smiles! They even brought out the veil from their wedding for their daughter to play with, which was a ton of fun!
Newborn during Social Distancing :: a ray of light comes into the world
With everything that has been going on, it’s been hard to find positivity, let alone envision the future. This beautiful mama was heartbroken there would be no photos of her first child’s first days on earth - until we worked out a wonderful system to keep everyone safe and at a distance, while capturing these precious moments that will never come again. Their cul-de-sac was private and empty. They put out a brand new, sealed, hospital mask for me near their front steps. We spent just 15 minutes, at least 10 feet apart, on their front porch and capture over 40 unforgettable photos. I used my sharp, L-series telephoto zoom lens to get up close and personal from so far away. This little baby’s smile and his parents’ love put a smile on my face and hope in my future.

Porch Portraits Washington DC
Experience your family portrait sessions in an entirely new way - from the comfort and safety of your own front yard!
In a conscious effort to keep everyone healthy and safe while continuing to deliver the high-quality professional portraits my clients are accustomed to, I've developed an entirely new photography experience: Porch Portraits
How Does It Work?
Your session will be held entirely outdoors on your own front porch so we can practice impeccable social distancing. Throughout your entire session, I'll remain on the sidewalk or across the street depending on the lens and angle we need. I only use Canon's latest professional L series lenses that allow me to take sharp, beautiful portraits at any distance, near or far.
Email me to your session and we'll coordinate your outfits and any props you might want via email prior to your session.
RL (at) RLincoln (dot) com
After your session, your high-res gallery is delivered via email. You'll receive a link and password with instructions to immediately download and share your photos. Your gallery never expires, so you can access your photos anytime. Anyone with the link and password can also view and download the photos, so your loved ones across the country or across the ocean can enjoy them as well!
Leave the Posing To Me!
My style is an unposed photojournalistic approach with a touch of editorial. I always give plenty of direction the entire time so you aren't left wondering what to do. In just 20 minutes we'll get a variety of shots of you and your loved ones, including a classic family portrait, individual portraits, just kids, couples, and more! You'll come away with a beautiful portfolio full of fun-filled candid shots and classic group portraits.
As we continue our lives in a very different way in the coming months, you won't have to miss out on documenting those special moments that make your family unique:
baby's first steps, your oldest's missing front tooth, siblings who have formed a new bond, or simply the love and care you put into your everyday life at home together.

First Newborn of 2020!
Back in January, Danielle and Chris welcomed an absolutely precious baby boy into their family. With his two older brothers already experienced toddlers, he’ll be in good hands as he grows up in this wonderful, loving bunch!

Fall Family Holiday Portraits in Rock Creek Park, DC
I couldn’t have asked for a more bright-eyed, fun-loving pair of kids than Mariana and Elena! It was a beautiful autumn afternoon here in DC. Together we explored Peirce Mill in Rock Creek Park, under bridges, along the water, on tree stumps like forest sprites. And we got some of the most enthusiastic leaf throwing shots of the year! Thanks so much for letting me capture these happy moments for you ❤️
Happy Family this Autumn!
I can’t believe I’ve photographed these beautiful people from engagement to wedding, their son from newborn to first birthday, and now their daughter!
JooWon's 1st Birthday!
It’s been just over a year since I last saw Sojung and Inseok for their maternity session…and I had the enormous pleasure of meeting JooWon Jayden!!! I’ve never seen a kid this thrilled to sit on his papa’s shoulders. Happy Birthday JooWon!
Millie, Mayank, and Kai welcome baby Erhi !
It’s giggle-filled playtime sessions like these that make me even more thankful to be a photographer - and you’ll see, I found my new assistant!
BONUS: we got to see Kai get up close and personal with his sister for the first time - very touching moments indeed.
