Michelle and Peter reached out with the exciting news that they were expecting baby number three! The last time I photographed them, they were expecting their sweet little girl, Lauren! That was back in 2018… Time flies. 🙂 So this was my first time meeting Lauren and seeing how much their son, Jorden, has grown! […]
Catherine reached out to me with the vision to document her family portraits at the Great Marsh Estate. When she’s not working, her passion is competitive horseback riding. Despite not having horses at this venue, it reminded her of a Ralph Lauren ad. Catherine and Robert wanted to achieve the look of attending a polo […]
Maxx and Jessica chose to have their wedding at Airlie in Warrenton, Virginia on a beautiful fall day. They were lucky because they just missed a gloomy/chilly week! Maxx and Jessica were surrounded by love and blessings, especially with their five-month-old girl. You might recognize this couple from their Colorado engagement/maternity session from earlier this year! We […]
While Michelle and David are waiting for their big day next fall, we celebrated their engagement by taking photos on Skyline Drive in Virginia! It was a beautiful evening on top of the mountains! And it was my first time meeting them in person — They were just as sweet as on the phone! Michelle […]
It was almost a year ago when we met in person for their engagement session on Skyline Drive. 🙂 And quickly looking back through those photos gives me all of the fall vibes I’m longing for right now. 🙂 It was super cold/windy that day, but fortunately, for their Stone Tower Winery wedding, we didn’t have […]
When I spoke to Nick and Julianne about a meaningful location for their portraits, the Reston Towncenter came up. After all, they live in Reston, and Nick proposed there. 🙂 So we planned to take photos around the town and their home with their pup! But about a month before their portraits, Julianne reached out […]
Ryan and Paige woke up early to make this session happen — But they made it look like a piece of cake! Months ago, we talked about a backdrop for their engagement session, and the Washington DC monument “row” came up. I like to call it a “row” because there are so many iconic landmarks in […]
The last time I photographed Matt and Angela was pre-kids — They celebrated their anniversary by having photos at the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens with their sweet Roxy pup (RIP). I was excited they asked me to be their photographer again, but this time, their family at Silver Lake Park. A lot changed in 6 years, but they […]
I love the Virginia countryside. The green rolling hills, sunsets, trees, and beautiful views of the Shenandoah Mountains. Whenever I visit from Colorado, there is a side of me that misses the green countryside. I have a lot of appreciation for this beautiful environment, and I’m grateful I have an excuse to visit throughout the […]
Oh, the way these two look at each other. <3 I love looking through these photos from Ryan and Kelsey’s Old Town Alexandria engagement portraits! It seemed suitable to have their portraits taken here since they live in this charming town. Old Town Alexandria is known for its cobblestone streets, brickwork, history, waterfront area, southern […]
