Usually when I mention “sunrise session” to clients as we chat about engagement photography, I feel the need to throw in phrases like “if you’re so brave” and “it’s early, but it’ll be worth it.” I get it! I’m a night owl myself, and the prospect of not only getting up before the crack of […]

Album delivery day is ALWAYS a favorite day! I’m one of those people who still gets overly excited for snail mail in this digital age – thank goodness for Amazon Prime deliveries! Taking out the trash often will “slip my mind” (sorry Steve!), but I NEVER forget to check the mailbox. And wedding album delivery […]

People always say that long distance relationships never work. Enter Ann & Drew. This new wife and husband team spent the first year and a half of their relationship dating long distance.

What’s one of the best ways to get GENUINE interaction in your engagement photos? Choose a location where you would naturally hang out! That’s exactly what Em & Brad did! We spent the late afternoon strolling around the DC neighborhood where they live. They walk those streets hand-in-hand all the time…this time I was just […]

I dare you to look at those flying puppy ears and not smile! It’s no secret that I’m a fan of four-legged furry friends! (How anyone can walk by a dog without stopping for a quick head scratch is beyond me.) So, when Jess & Ed wanted to include little Jake, the wonder pup, in […]

Can you think of anything more “DC” than a stampede of Segways at The National Mall? Amy & Pradeep saw this interruption as an opportunity for awesome photos during their engagement session! That’s exactly the kind of couple they are – always ready roll with the punches! I loved getting to know these two as […]

There’s always something special about the last wedding of the year. For 2016, this belonged to Becca and Shawn – and it went out with a spark! (Get it?
