What is ahead in 2020 you might ask?

Well, I am halfway booked up, I already have two engagement sessions on the calendar, I am booking into 2021, and plan to focus my energy on serving my couples better through posing and continuing on to build this business while focusing too on my family.

Happy New Year!

As a Michigan Native – but former Texas resident – I get SUPER pumped when I meet other Michiganders in the DC area. Especially clients. Que Ryan’s message via The Knot. Immediately we struck up a conversation about Michigan – where we lived, where we went to school, how we ended up out this way. […]

Jen and Matt were fabulous. Yet another couple who isn’t afraid of following me around an area to take photos whenever and wherever. And I love Morven Park for this reason, there are so many unique settings, a photographer could spend an entire season here and not highlight all the best locations this place has to offer.

Oh, Victoria and David. Your wedding was amazing. From your wedding day details to the moments on the dance floor, how can I even begin to write a brief summary of your day? — I have so many feels about this wedding in particular; all good of course. From the moment of booking to their […]

I loved my time with McKenzie and Jared and loved the fact they trusted me with some crazy ideas…Like traveling down the ways to the reflecting pool area when that was not a part of the original game plan. We spent sometime around the Memorial before we headed down and found the most gorgeous weeping willow. I’ve seen this tree in a handful of my friend’s images, just never knew where it was! Now it is forever a favorite spot and I can’t wait to take my couple next month there.

The service was beautiful, of course, Catholic weddings always are in my opinion. I love Catholic weddings because of the traditions and rituals. As a photographer, I love documenting them just as much. As the ceremony went on, it felt like we were secure and you wouldn’t know the Nationals’ parade was happening a few blocks over. Every so often you would hear a faint cheer.

What I love the most about this couple is their easy-going mentality when it came to photos; Jasmine told me she already favors those in-the-moment photos. With a mixture of prompts, poses, and jokes for photos, we wandered around the property for different backdrops and opportunities with the residents – the goats, chickens, etc. – the wild turkeys weren’t having it though.

Melanie and Benjamin said “I-do” in front of their closest friends and family at Benjamin’s childhood home in Bethesda, MD. Since Melanie – who seems like a good friend now and not a client – is from England, the couple wanted a garden theme wedding with English ties throughout.

On my old website, I would blog about those weddings and continually update my portfolio. Since the migration – and for simplicity sake – I’ve decided to write a quarterly blog post on all my favorite photos taken in those three months that highlights my favorite images from the weddings I photographed for others.

Gosh, can you believe it? Fall is here, but you wouldn’t know it at Julianna and Kevin’s engagement session at the Lincoln Memorial. Good golly, was it another hot one. Shout out to this couple who got up super early to meet me at the steps of the Lincoln for their session with me.
