We made it. That is all I can say. After multiple reschedules and plans, we made it. They made it. And what a ride. We drove forever to find that parking spot. And Julianna met Kevin. Julianna and Kevin pledged forever by themselves (and myself and a squirrel!) at the War Memorial on June 19th. […]

My story with Ali and Derek began WAY back pre-‘rona when Ali and I connected through our mutual friend Ashleigh of Sweetly Southern Events. Ali reached out wanting special photos taken of her and her fiance, Derek, before they planned to elope in July. We made grand plans, friends. Oh we did. A National Mall […]

Despite it being December, this adorable couple decided to have an outdoor ceremony. With warm blankets for every guest – and a hot cocoa bar – guests stayed toasty warm while McKenzie and Jared vowed forever. After the ceremony, we rolled through formal photos and made do with the last bit of light we had for portraits behind the manor in the field.

Early in 2019, I photographed a wedding at the Metier – a Michelin star restaurant – in Washington DC. I’ll never forget that moment when I took a modest bite from the creamed peas of my vendor meal and felt the world tilt upon her axis. It was the most delicious thing I had ever […]

I’ll give the disclaimer that this blog post might scare – and shock – some of you. I’ve been on the fence about spilling all my tea about this because – well, it is scary. Especially to clients who depend upon our gear to work properly at their wedding. Also, in the event this blog post makes it to Petapixel, I have to arm myself for a battle against the internet trolls.

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!
