I loved capturing the Wills family in downtown Alexandria, Virginia. We started out in Founders Park and then hit a couple of charming spots in Old Town. Isabelle, who was only 5 1/2 months old during this session, KILLED it. She is one of the "easiest" babies that I've ever photographed; I had the hardest time choosing favorites for a post because she has so much personality! It's evident how much Kathy and Jon love their precious little lady. Please enjoy my time with this beautiful family!
Bernadette and Casey and their adorable son, Harrison... oh, how I LOVE this family! Such dear friends. I photographed Bernadette and Casey throughout their wedding festivities and Harrison when he was just 13 days old. Now he is 14 months old (!!!!). I am so honored to continue to photograph this wonderful family. We started out at the water near where they live and then finished in Federal Hill Park. Enjoy my favorites (it gets me really excited to be having a baby boy!). : )
This couple. This light. I LOVED this afternoon! I met Amanda and Rob in downtown Frederick, Maryland for their engagement session, and I could tell from the very beginning of the session that it was going to be a good one. :) These two are so comfortable with each other and share a really special connection, and it really shines through their images. I barely had to give direction; the photos were practically making themselves. I loved how one minute they were intimate and affectionate and the next they were playful and cracking up with each other. It was such a fun and relaxing time! I really enjoyed getting to spend time with them and making some magic. Enjoy some of my many, many favorites. Can't wait for their wedding next summer!
Kristen and Dan met me recently along the Tidal Basin for their early morning engagement session. Dan proposed on a bench with a view of the Jefferson Memorial so the area is extra special to them, which I love. We went to Georgetown for the second half of the shoot and it may have involved cupcakes from Baked and Wired (cupcake lovers near Georgetown - go get you some - so scrumptious!).
I'm not sure how I get so lucky to have the most sincere, genuine clients. Whatever the universe is telling me, I'm grateful that I get to photograph people like Kristen and Dan. They are so easygoing and kind. I loved spending time with them, and I cannot wait until their wedding in DC next year!
I honestly can't say enough good things about Alie and Nick. They, along with their families, are genuinely considerate and gracious people. I had the best time photographing their wedding day full of emotion and love.
Nick and Alie got married in mid-July in New York. It was my first Long Island wedding! I loved so much about their wedding day, including the florals and classic details. I will also never forget the sun during their ceremony; it set slowly, dripping behind the trees and giving the most magical and gorgeous light. So special.
