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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

It’s officially spring in D.C.! After a few weeks off in the colder months, I was so excited to jump right back into engagement sessions with Anthony and Jessica. They booked me back in the winter and I’ve been looking forward to meeting them ever since! These two Michigan natives just moved to the area […]

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 […]
