As a JMU alum and former resident of the Shenandoah Valley there are few places I love doing a session more than Shenandoah National Park. Any time a couple chooses to do a Skyline Drive engagement session I get so excited to drive back! Jessica reached out to me in June to capture her and […]

Anytime I get to visit Tranquility Farm for a wedding, I’m excited! This beautiful wedding venue tucked in Purcellville, Virginia is one of my favorites. Their space hosts a rustic barn & stable, fieldstone manor from 1807 and so many different ceremony backdrops on their huge property. Zac and Nycole met at Virginia Tech and […]

Ben and Bridget are married! The two tied the knot at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, VA back in August. Although I’ve done sessions at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens multiple times before, it was the first time that I’ve ever captured a wedding. The gardens are beautiful, especially in the summer and have so many vignettes […]

Sarah and Kevin are so much fun to be around! I was so excited to finally meet these two fellow JMU alums (Go Dukes!). We met up for their engagement session a few weeks ago at Oatlands Historic Home and Gardens. When we started to talk about their engagement session, Sarah and Kevin told me […]

I was so excited for Sara and Jake’s wedding day! These two first inquired with me back in December 2017, so I’ve been eagerly awaiting their wedding day for over a year and half! Sara and Jake got married on what has to be one of the hottest days of the year! The heat index […]

When I say I’ve literally been waiting for this engagement session for almost a year I’m not exaggerating! It seems like forever ago now, but Katy and I started chatting on Instagram back in November! Over the past few months I’ve loved learning about her and Erik. They first met at JMU (Go Dukes!) and […]

July kicked off with Emily and Matt’s stunning wedding at Shadow Creek in Purcellville, Virginia! Tucked just outside of town, Shadow Creek is a gorgeous barn perfect for any wedding day. The venue has a beautiful outdoor patio and views of Loudoun County’s rolling hills. If you love Northern Virginia’s scenery this is a beautiful […]

Another new favorite engagement session is up on the blog, and once again it was hard to narrow it down to just a few favorites! I had such a great time finally getting to meet Aspen and Dan in D.C. a few weeks ago! These two D.C. transplants met through a mutual friend and have […]

There are very few things that will get me out of bed at 4:30am, except for the incredible couples that I work with and D.C. sunrises. While it might sound crazy, I highly recommend everyone brave the early alarms at least once to see the monuments at dawn. There’s nothing like having a space usually […]

I’m so excited to share Rebecca’s grad session! We connected through a mutual friend back in the spring and set up a date to capture photos to celebrate her upcoming graduation from John Hopkins. Rebecca knew she wanted a classic D.C. backdrop for her portrait session, and the architecture of the Capitol building was the […]
