If you like lush, vibrant greens, you are going to LOVE these portraits! We met at Constitution Gardens for Jacque and Zac’s engagement session, which in my opinion, is one of the most underrated locations in DC. You’ve got beautiful views of Lincoln in one direction, the Washington Monument in the other, and you’re surrounded […]

The 5AM alarm was rough, but these classic DC engagement portraits were so worth it! I met Kelsey and Brennan bright and early at the Lincoln Memorial for their engagement session. There were a few other photographers and runners out enjoying the National Mall, but we had no problem keeping our distance! These two had […]

If there’s a buzzword in the wedding industry in 2020, this is it! Microweddings are all the rage right now, and it’s not just due to social gathering restrictions. There are so many reasons to opt for a small, intimate wedding celebration, and here are just a few of them! But first, maybe we should […]

Love is not canceled just because large gatherings are! I genuinely love what weddings have become in 2020: relaxed, stress-free declarations of love surrounded by the people that matter most in the world. Jennifer and Patrick’s wedding day was exactly that! When their plans for a destination elopement had to be put on hold, they […]

Earlier this week, I got the chance to visit Annapolis for an in-home newborn session with one of my favorite families. Thanks to the “it’s a girl” garden flag and beautiful blush rose wreath, I knew immediately that I was in the right place when I arrived at the Conley home! Photographing Lindsay and Chris […]

Weddings may look a little different these days, but love is most definitely not cancelled! When I first heard about Kassie’s vision for her double header styled shoot, I knew I had to be there. The first shoot was a styled elopement at Great Falls Park featuring lush greenery and touches of lavender, to give […]

Styled shoots are SO fun! Not only are they an opportunity to build your portfolio, styled shoots give you a chance to take risks, experiment, make friends with fellow photographers and wedding industry professionals, and even learn some new techniques. However, shooting in a group is definitely an art form! After participating in countless styled […]

Hannah and Casey are MARRIED! Coronavirus forced them to postpone their destination wedding until next year, but they chose to tie the knot in front of a handful of loved ones on their original date. Hannah’s aunt’s home in northern Virginia was the perfect location for the low-key ceremony, and I was so thrilled to […]

The official motto of 2020 has got to be: it’s not where you are, but who you’re with that matters. That was certainly true for the O’Brien family this summer, as they were forced to rethink their annual beach vacation due to coronavirus! Typically the entire crew – Paul and Kathy, their six kids and […]

Oh, you guys. I have never experienced such dramatic weather changes during a session as I did during Sarah & Nick’s engagement session! I watched the forecast anxiously all week long. There was a torrential downpour the whole drive up to Kent Island from southern Maryland, yet the forecast insisted we’d have a little break […]
