You must remember James and Michelle from last week’s Old Town Alexandria engagement session. 🙂 James and Michelle are officially MARRIED!!! The day started just around the corner from the Winery at Bull Run, where they relaxed and enjoyed time with friends while prepping for the celebration. It’s not very often I see the groom […]

James, Emily and I started their engagement session in their backyard where the lighting beautifully cast through the trees. Sometimes, it can be tricky to photograph in wooded areas when there’s a stark contrast between highlights and shadows when the sun is out, but their woods served as the perfect backdrop! Plus, I enjoyed photographing […]

My soul feels so refreshed coming back from a relaxing and pleasurable family vacation on Chincoteague Island. My parents deserved to get away for a little bit and unwind! Exactly the intention of the trip, especially since they just celebrated 31-years this month!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 I’ve been to Chincoteague many times so last year, […]

I’m grateful for couples who make the time to squeeze in their engagement portraits, even if it’s just days before the wedding! James and Michelle are getting married this Sunday (yay!), and we met for the first time this week for their photos in the beautiful Old Town Alexandria! We have talked over the phone […]

It was about a year ago I had the opportunity to meet and get to know Jason and Jennifer. In fact, it was in Chincoteague! Conversations were easy because Jennifer is an entrepreneur, so if you can imagine, we were totally nerding out talking about social media marketing, blogging and all sorts of stuff that […]

  Happy Monday!!! I’m back from a week in Chincoteague with my family and starting the week on a great note because I’m all caught up with editing up to this point! YAY! With limited weddings/sessions over the upcoming weeks leading up to the start of fall wedding season, I’ll be able to focus my […]

It had been years since I visited Harpers Ferry, but when Eddie and Rachel mentioned how they wanted engagement portraits there, I could not have said yes fast enough! Granted, the last time I visited was when I was a kid, but I remember the spectacular mountain and water views! I knew I was in […]

I’ve known Kent and Kristen for years now and I cannot get enough of these two! We were actually just reminiscing about their Christmas portraits years ago when they first got their precious pup! Cannot believe that much time has passed! Now, they are expecting a little boy, and I’m already excited to see photos […]

We spent months planning for this session to happen, not necessarily by choice, but nevertheless, we were excited to meet each other last week! 🙂 Angela contacted me at the beginning of this year to start planning their cherry blossom DC portraits. Well, spring ended up being a flop between the warmer than usual temps […]

I met the McGuinness family last week to document this special time of their lives. Little Jackson just turned one (June babies unite!), and this was their first photos as a family. What an honor for them to reach out to me regarding this occasion and what a great way to celebrate Jackson’s first Birthday! […]
