Spring has sprung in Washington, DC! The cherry blossoms are stars of the show around here, but if you ask me, the magnolia blossoms are even better. Saucer magnolias typically bloom about two weeks prior to the cherry blossoms, are a little pinker in color, and best of all: attract much smaller crowds. As a […]
Washington DC Family Portrait Session One of my favorite things about being a Washington, DC photographer is sharing my favorite hidden gem locations around the city like this one. Constitution Gardens is a sprawling park located in the heart of DC, featuring beautiful willow trees and stunning views of the Washington Monument. And yet, it […]
This is the second of two Jane Austen inspired editorial shoots that I had the pleasure of photographing in the Cotswolds last summer! Julie Paisley hosted the most incredible retreat in the heart of the English countryside, and my jaw is still on the floor over these images. For this shoot, I wanted to embrace […]

There are so many things to love about being a Washington DC wedding photographer, but days like Julie and Kevin’s truly take the cake. I loved every last detail of their Potomac View Terrace wedding but most importantly, their loved ones made my job an absolute joy. I always knew that Julie and Kevin were […]
Romantic In-Home Proposal There’s nothing more intimate and personal than a romantic in-home proposal. Brandon pulled out all the stops when he popped the question to Helen, hiring a personal chef and lining the path through their home with candles and flower petals. Flowers were on every surface, and he’d even had menu cards printed […]
