As couples book their wedding date and we start preparing for their engagement session one of the most common questions I get is what should I wear? It can seem like a big decision when these photos show up on everything from save-the-dates to framed on the walls of your home. Today’s blog is all about […]

This blog post is a long time coming, but it is one of my favorite sessions of 2018! A few months back I launched my new website, and along with it gave away two spots to my fall mini sessions. Everybody entered on Instagram and by signing up for my newsletter and at the end […]

With all the crazy weather we’ve been having sometimes third times a charm is true! Taylor and Greg scheduled their session with me back in August, but because of all of Virginia’s downpours we were forced to cancel twice. Finally, after keeping our fingers crossed for nice weather we got to meet up on a […]

A few weeks ago I got to meet up with Matt and Emily for their engagement session at Sylvanside Farm in Purcellville, Virginia. The rustic farm has 25-acres of land, including a pond and open fields that are the perfect backdrop for a summer engagement session! Matt and Emily both actually went to high school with […]

The sun has finally returned to Virginia, and it was just in time for Khanita and Luan’s engagement session on the waterfront in Old Town Alexandria. Khanita and Luan have been together since high school! Mutual friends first introduced them and they bonded through their shared love of music and cards games and surviving math […]

It seems like for the past few weeks every session and wedding I’ve been at has had rain and dark skies. Even on the days there was no rain the sky was overcast and misty. Holly and Justin had originally scheduled their engagement session on a Sunday evening, but with it looking like rain was […]

Every time I photograph a new couple I’m always so grateful for the opportunity to be the one to capture their memories. It’s even more special when two close friends trust you with that responsibility. Sarah and I met in college and during our time a JMU studied abroad and ran on the executive board […]

It’s been a few weeks since the cherry blossoms, but Amanda and Josh’s engagement session is up on the blog! Originally we had picked out a weekend in March for their engagement photos, but because of the crazy spring we had in D.C.  the trees refused to bloom. For a while it seemed like the peek […]

Despite being a Loudoun wedding photographer, I’ve never gotten the chance to visit Tranquility Farm in Purcellville until a few weeks ago. All of a sudden I ended up there back to back two days in a row! Tranquility is where my first 2018 wedding will be so I started the week with a walkthrough […]

The stubborn cold weather has kept the cherry blossoms from blooming, but that didn’t stop this spring D.C. engagement session from being full of beautiful light and flowers! Stephanie and Reese met up with me at the Jefferson Memorial last weekend for a rather chilly spring session. We’ve been chatting since the fall and it […]
