When I say that Stacie and Dan’s wedding couldn’t have been more perfect… seriously… it couldn’t have been more perfect! Their day was a little over 6 years in the making, and WOW was it worth every second of planning and anticipation! Going into any wedding day, I’ll admit— I get pretty nervous! But, going […]

I looked at my calendar this week and realized that, as of this Saturday, I have officially called Washington, DC home for TWO years now! WOW time flies! Last year, I shared a letter to myself. I shared the words that I would have told the girl getting off the plane, fresh out of college with a dream and not a whole lot of plans. I reread this post this week, and I cried like a baby. It was a bit embarrassing… thankfully, I was alone in my apartment. Goodness… how so many things have changed and how so many things have stayed exactly the same.

Ok… full disclosure: I had the hardest time coming up with the words for this blog post! I also totally edited & blogged this session through teary eyes. Anna and Darian are two of my sweet friends from college, and y’all…. THEY’RE GETTING MARRIED! (And I am obviously WAY too emotional about it all!) If you’ve spent any time around here, you may be familiar with my fellow photog friend, Savannah of Savannah Smith Photography! I met Anna & Savannah around the same time and we all became pretty close, so it was only natural that we decided to join forces to photograph A&D’s wedding!

Oh I need to give a HUGE shoutout to these two for being SO flexible! I think we had to reschedule their session three times because of the RAIN! (The rain has been nonstop in the DMV, y’all!). When we were finally able to get together for their session, we had so much fun! We FINALLY saw some sun and spent the morning exploring the gorgeous Downs Park.

It sure has been engagement session season around these parts, and y’all I am loving every single second of it! The day before Allie and Jamion’s (very early morning) session, Mother Nature decided to dump inches and inches of snow on our region. I remember panicking a little bit…when will it stop? Will the roads […]

I want you to picture the most perfect fall day there ever was…think turning leaves, blue skies & just enough chill in the breeze to keep the sweat off your brow. That was exactly what we got for Nathan & Kayla’s beautiful DC wedding day in Navy Yard!!  I could go on and on about […]
