It’s not very often I book a D.C. engagement session as most of my couples tend to stay towards the country. One routine I love to identify with my couples is figuring out an ideal atmosphere for their portrait session. I will not place city people in the middle of a field if that’s “not […]

I remember sitting in my house on the phone with Chanel earlier this year about her wedding day. Details were still up in the air, but she was willing to work around my calendar to have me document her special day. Having a bride work around my schedule is always an incredible honor! I still cannot […]

It has been a while since my last DIY home project blog! I cannot necessarily write a blog post how to install trim around your house since I had help with that, but I have had people ask about the window trim! You can find this project on Pinterest, which is where I found my […]

I know some people are taking today off for Columbus Day, but this is my busy season which means today is a work day! In fact, I woke up at 5:30 a.m. this morning for a BEAUTIFUL sunrise session in D.C.! I have to admit, I’m not an early bird. Although once I’m up and going […]

I’ve had the privilege of exploring many new venues this year and Shadow Creek was one of them! I arrived early Saturday to scope out the property and to decide whether or not the ground was doable for running around. I have to admit that the ground was pretty saturated but the wedding party were troopers […]

Todd and Lynee got married at the beautiful Antrim 1844 Country House Hotel in Maryland last Friday evening. Despite the never ending rain last week, we managed to work through it! The rain was pretty consistent the entire day which led to us moving indoors for the ceremony, but I’m glad we took advantage of the gardens […]

For the past four years, I have hosted “Christmas Mini Sessions” around the first week of December. It’s a great way to get into the Christmas spirit, especially since I have photographed the mini session portraits at a local Christmas tree farm! Perfect for those Christmas cards! If there is enough interest, I will host […]

After this talk about taking last week off to relax, I ended up using the intensional time to catch up with some things that were a little behind (in my eyes). I think it’s funny when I hear people say that “you’re your own boss, you can do it later”, but the reality is that it […]

Well, I’ll start off this blog post by saying this is not a typical day/week for my blog, but after church on Sunday I really felt like God planted this in my heart for a reason… Over the years, I’ve been referred to as the “go-getter”. What really defines a “go-getter”? The dictionary describes it […]

Who’s excited for FALL?!?!? What a weekend!!! Even though I didn’t have a wedding to photograph, my weekend was busy attending a wedding as a guest (where I even had the opportunity to dress up in a sari <= SO much fun), enjoy a bachelorette party at the Bobby McKey’s Dueling Piano Bar (that place is […]
