A good friend of mine from Minnesota came for a visit recently and being the history buff she is, she wanted her Senior Pictures taken in DC. I tried my best to not disappoint. We hit up the town everyday...and night!
Got some good ones with the Lincoln memorial columns I find so unique AND Shellie introduced me to my new favorite DC location. It's my new favorite for both it's photos opps and for it's history. So there's this little red brick structure on the north lawn of the Capitol building. Inside are chairs carved into stone and in the center in a fountain. It's always been a plain enough structure that to me, it was forgettable. Not so much since Shellie enlightened me with the knowledge that this is where slaves used to be brought for auction. I had no idea. It gave me chills to be there. Now every brick and form in the concrete seats is so significant and fascinating to me it really is the more intriguing place in DC to me these days.
We also made it out to the beautiful Harpers Ferry area that's history and scenery offered endless possibilities as well. Here are some of my favorites.
