family PHOTOGRAPHY
Family | maternity | Newborn | Seniors
Love of family is the essence of my photography. Years pass quickly and before we know it, we’re a little older, the babies are grown, and our photographs are our best reminders of our precious past. Photography is an investment in your personal and family history and will become your most precious heirloom. I love to photograph family in all of its seasons, including maternity, newborn, childhood, and senior portraits.
The Signature Session
I understand how much you have on your plate, so my process is as streamlined, simple, and stress-free as possible. From our first phone call to the exciting day your prints arrive, I’ll lead you through the process step by step. Known for being calm, patient, and easy to work with, my goal is for everyone to leave the session feeling, "That was actually fun!"
How it works
1: Get in touch
After you submit the contact form below, I'll reply with a link to schedule a quick call. A 20 minute phone call is the fastest, easiest way to go over all the details and answer any questions you have about working with me. It's also a great way to help me understand your vibe so I can make custom recommendations for your session. If it sounds like we’re a good fit, we can get your session on the books and start getting ready for some fun! (The Signature Session costs $1200 + tax, with $400 due to reserve your session, and the balance due after your session.)
2: have a great session
Once we’re booked, I’ll send you my detailed guide to getting ready for your relaxed, no-pressure session. Sessions can take place in or around your home, or we can meet in a beautiful or iconic location. They last around 90 minutes, though the exact time varies depending on your preferences. My goal is for everyone to leave the experience feeling like it was fun!
During the school year, we photograph sessions on weekday mornings. Many working families just let work and school know you'll be in a little later than usual. During the summer, when the sun is up later, I love to do sessions on weekday evenings.

A Few of My Favorites from the Gallery Shop
These are a few ways you could print your portraits!
"Katie is amazing!"
-THE KNIGHT FAMILY
Besides our wedding, my husband and I haven’t had professional pictures taken before. Katie is professional, warm and no pose ever felt awkward. She was great with our son and was able to get him to smile for the photos. ALL of our photos turned out amazing! I would totally hire her again!

WASHINGTON DC FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER
MEET KATIE LEWIS
Marriage and parenthood have been my life’s most transformative adventures. And after raising 3 children, I've seen firsthand how important it is to capture the milestone moments with empathy and artistry.
What they say is true - The days are long, but the years are short. That's why I create family heirlooms with a gentle approach and an eye for connection.
Having spent 12 years wrangling military generals as a DC Staff Photographer, organizing and posing family portraits is a breeze! And I draw upon my background in art history to compose personal yet timeless portraits.
The result? Organic and tasteful photographs that celebrate your family's true connection.
