The weather has been wreaking havoc on my shooting schedule recently, but after a few rainouts, I FINALLY got to meet Kylie and Brandon in Solomons for their engagement session! Rain clouds loomed overhead, but thankfully never let loose and I swear the sun even peeked out for a moment at the end. Kylie and […]

Jessica’s mom and I have known each other for years through work, and so I was thrilled when they contacted me about wedding and engagement portraits! Jess and her fiancé, Dayne, met at their alma mater, St. Mary’s College of Maryland. They both work at SMCM now and anyone from southern Maryland knows how gorgeous the campus is, so it was a no-brainer that we’d meet there for their engagement session! 

Ahhh, the engagement session. It’s included with the signature AWP wedding collection, and for good reason!

It’s a chance for us to work together before the stressure (that’s stress + pressure) of the wedding day, and for you to feel confident and celebrate this milestone in your relationship. As a sweet bonus, the end result is beautiful portraits that aren’t in wedding day attire, and that ultimately may feel more natural and true to you.

They say that if you don’t like the weather in Maryland just wait ten minutes, and that’s exactly how Kelsey and Travis’s engagement session went. We met at the historic London Town & Garden on a beautiful Wednesday afternoon. Then it began to rain, but the sun was still shining. Then, the skies opened and […]

That’s exactly what happened the day I met Lindsay and Michael (aka Zook) […]

I believe firmly in the power of manifestation. I’m a walking-and-talking example of speaking a goal into reality, so let’s keep it up: I want to start booking weddings. Not to worry – I will always love my family and newborn clients. I connect to your stories, your struggles, your successes, and I will always […]
