I feel very grateful Sam and Brandon were introduced in my life in 2015! Since then, they tied the knot, started a family, and built one of the prettiest homes! A lot has changed, but I’m glad that we have stayed connected over the years. <3 Sam and Brandon are some of the sweetest, kindest […]

Gosh, I feel like it has been FOREVER since I’ve last been on here… There’s a good reason for that too! As the week of Easter approached, Alex and I kept playing with the idea of me visiting. I was so convinced that I should stay in VA to relax and take care of wedding […]

It’s Monday and I’m feeling recovered from this past weekend. 🙂 Or mostly recovered after 10 hours of sleep last night! I’m getting so so so excited thinking that June isn’t that far away and I get to marry my best friend SOON!!! We have been finding ways to make the long distance easier on […]

I’ve been obsessing over this magical session since photographing Lauren and Keith on Monday! It had been two years since I last photographed the beautiful cherry blossom season in Washington, DC. When Lauren told me that she dreamt of having their portraits with the cherry blossoms, we stalked the predictions on a monthly basis. 🙂 […]

Let’s pause my own photography and spotlight another photographer’s work! That other photographer is someone VERY special to me. <3 In fact, when Alex asked me on our first date, I remember scrolling through his Instagram with a friend of mine admiring all of his travel photography work! I thought that he had a natural […]

I’m surprised I’m so “with it” right now after waking up at 4:20 AM to photograph a DC sunrise session followed by a workout! It might be because photographing Keith and Lauren’s cherry blossom session was unbelievably magical?! Or because the DC traffic was soooo horrendous that it shook me awake? HA! I’ll take the […]

I’ve known Emily for YEARS. And I’m afraid to count how many because then it reminds me of my age. 😉 Her older sister, Lindsay, and I have been great friends since early high school, and because of that friendship, I was able to meet this sweet young lady!!! As soon as Emily and I […]

Warrenton, VA is a small town — Especially growing up in the area. When I met Josh and Brittney, it felt as though we were able to bounce connections back and forth which is always fun! It turned out Josh is also a fellow Duke (#godukes!), but besides that exciting discovery, I LOVED getting to […]
