Arlington Photography is a boutique studio dedicated to high-quality wedding and portraiture photography with an emphasis on capturing all your special moments as they unfold.

The husband-and-wife photography duo of Tomerlin Photography provide on-location moment-capturing services at a scenic vista of your choice, making a practice of using their engaging personalities to lure each individual's essence from within, then mercilessly capturing it on film. Your photo session includes a 60-minute shoot—opt for photos of you and you, or enlist the full family or book club for a fun-filled pouting, preening, and pose-striking session. Afterward, the images will be professionally edited to eliminate red eyes, peculiar pores, and thoughts of blinking. You'll receive four 5"x7" prints and one 8"x10" frameable, as well as five high-resolution digital negatives and an online proof gallery to sift through for two weeks post-shoot. The duo at Tomerlin specialize in photo-journalistic style portraits, so expect to don your most furrowed or free-looking brow for the revealing session.

Erin Scott draws on her background in photojournalism to tell her subjects' stories with images showcasing their individual personalities. Sessions can take place in-studio or on-site at one of seven Washington, DC, locations, such as Chinatown, the Tidal Basin, the Capitol Grounds, and the Smithsonian Gardens. After a successful shoot capturing subjects reenacting their favorite scenes from All the President's Men, Erin will give models 10 retouched, high-resolution digital images from the session to share with friends and family.

From behind the lens, Melody and Sarah use their talent to draw out clients’ personalities. By ensuring that their subjects are comfortable and loose, the duo captures genuine photographic moments, whether during shoots for newborns, kids, couples, or families. Besides natural, candid snapshots, they're also great at coaching poses and making clients feel like supermodels. Melody and Sarah make shoots fun in-studio and on-location, and they also shoot special events such as weddings or baby's first blog post.

Glamour Shots specializes in complete photography sessions in which subjects receive makeovers and in-depth consultations on their shoots to help their best face to shine in front of the camera. Upon arriving at the studio, subjects undergo hairstyling and an airbrush makeup application before donning a series of their own outfits during boudoir or traditional photo shoots. Image designers can retouch snapshots afterward, and client favorites can shine in lab-produced prints or on digital CDs.
