welcome to the blog!

This is the place I get to showcase all of my beautiful clients and the love they put into their sessions or weddings. I also love sharing tips and tricks on wedding photography planning, ideas to make your session fun, easy, and organized, as well as personal stories. Find the category you're looking for, or browse for hours! There's plenty to keep you entertained.

  I totally love D.C. and the D.C. area, and there’s something to be said for exploring beyond our little metropolis. Within an hour of D.C. we have everything from rolling hills (baby mountains) to battlefields, wineries, flower fields, expansive gardens, sprawling manor houses and mansions, quaint riverside towns, farmland, beaches… you name it, we’ve pretty much […]

I’m super excited to share with you this Morningside Inn wedding in Frederick, Maryland!! Doris and Eliud had a beautiful, touching, vibrant wedding despite the cloudy skies and occasional spring shower. I’m kind of obsessed with the romantic rainy day portraits we got with these two, and you’ll see more of that in today’s post […]

Hi everyone! It’s been super long since I did one of these Fun Monday posts! I’ve been really busy and getting up the regular blog posts has been enough work in and of itself, so I took a little break from ol’ Fun Monday. Plus I’ve been second shooting a lot, which leaves me pretty […]

I know I’ve mentioned this before, but one of my favorite things to do is location scout. It’s just fun to get out there, explore, take some photos, be in nature, and let myself be inspired by my surroundings. It’s one of the many perks of the job! A couple of weeks ago I had […]

One of the best ways I can serve my clients is acting as a consultant. I love to help by shining a light on details people may never think of! I’ve had lots of behind-the-scenes opportunities to observe how much a couple is enjoying their wedding day, and if they’re not, how much of that […]

The cool thing about being a natural light photographer (well, one of the cool things, because there are so many!) is getting to see your favorite spots at all different seasons. They look different for every session and every year you schedule there. This was the case with these spring family photos at Potomac Overlook […]

I am *so* excited to share Colleen’s Washington, D.C. senior portraits with you today! I’m excited because 1. Colleen is just beautiful and was so fun to photograph, 2. we had every kind of weather during this session, so we got quite the variety of images, and 3. I’ve been wanting to photograph seniors for […]

I had so much fun working with Kelsey on her Gravelly Point headshots session! I met Kelsey at Gravelly Point in Arlington, Virginia, right outside National Airport last week for her session and not only did we have beautiful weather, we had beautiful glowy light! Woot woot! Kelsey was the winner of Alexandria Living Magazine‘s […]

Sometimes I feel like a total meanie having my clients stand outside in the cold with me when I’m all warm(ish) in my layers and they’re in their adorable outfits in the freezing cold! (I swear, it’s worth it! Just take a look at these photos for proof!) But they are always such troopers about […]

Welcome to the first informative post in my new series An In-Focus Unfolding. Today I’m sharing how easy it is to run a values based business! Before I started working with a business coach, I never really thought about ‘values’ – in life, much less a values based business! I mean, most of us are probably […]
