It’s just about December … WHAT? What happened to the 2018 year?! Now that business is starting to slow down for the winter season, I am looking forward to reflecting on the past months of business and personal life to bring myself back to a state of humility. Don’t get me wrong, I try not […]

As people in Northern Virginia know, we got snow last week!! Definitely an early ‘hello,’ despite the talks about it being a mild winter!! Bryan, Meghan, and I had plans to meet up last week for their engagement session on top of Skyline Drive but came across that it was CLOSED because of the destruction from […]

Earlier this year, Brennan, Lindsey, and I met for their Harper’s Ferry engagement session. But the months FLEW by since then with a lot of excitement building up for their big day! 🙂 If you didn’t get the opportunity to read their love story and check out their session on the blog, check it out […]

This photo above takes me back to Paris almost a year ago… Crazy how time has flown by since that trip! I’ll never forget how dang cold it was! HA! But Krysta and I were brave souls. 😉 I cannot wait to travel back but in warmer temps! Speaking of colder weather, can you believe […]

I’ve been photographing this family for years, and I cannot tell you how much of a joy it is to watch returning clients grow from the previous time together. Not only is it fun catching up, but it’s also an honor that they want to use my services again! It means more than they will […]

Every so often I book an engagement session with a couple who is looking to do local portraits with the intention to have a wedding back in their hometown. I loved hearing why Washington, D.C. meant so much to Ben and Melissa when they grew up in New York! So it was so appropriate to […]

Colin and Julianne gathered with their closest family and friends on Saturday on a super warm day in November. JUST KIDDING. It was one of the coldest days, and these two proved that their military training didn’t just train/toughen them up for their work assignments, but rather their wedding day! HAHA! Fortunately, we just had […]

I had met Curtis and Emily back in March 2017 before Curtis deployed. After celebrating Veteran’s Day this past weekend, it was appropriate we celebrated with these engagement portraits!!!! Curtis, thank you so much for your service!!!! But honestly, we weren’t sure this session was going to happen last Friday. We had planned to meet […]

Looking back on this past week was another jammed-packed week of work. Tis the season? Absolutely!!! I promise I do more than just work. 😉 It’s just on mute right now while I focus on being on top of my business tasks so I can be 100% present during the Holiday season with family and friends. […]

It’s that time of the year where you’re going to see a lot of family portraits on the blog as we gear up for the Holiday season. Don’t hate, but I just bought another Christmas candle this morning after a sunrise session, and I’m currently listening to Christmas music as I put together this blog […]
