I met Alli and John in Georgetown last month for the dreamiest early morning engagement session. Alli and John selected Georgetown for their location because it has so much significance to their relationship, and I am so glad they did- it was the best place for their session! I love photographing in the city because […]

I don’t think I could have dreamed up a better engagement session for Alexis and Marc. It was just magical, and certainly another highlight of 2023 for me. We selected Ocean City as their session location, and it was the perfect spot for their photos as it is their favorite place to vacation! If this […]

This day was an absolute highlight of 2023. It is always an honor to document specific moments or milestones for my clients, but add in an iconic location like the Jefferson Memorial, and it just becomes a photographer’s dream. What made this day even more special though, is that Jacqua is one of my very […]

Before I even left DC after this engagement session, I knew it was going to be a favorite of mine. The Lincoln Memorial is one of my personal preferred locations to photograph at, and when you have an amazing couple like Hannah and Peyton to work with, it is a recipe for success! No matter […]

I am a little biased of course, but this is my favorite engagement session to date! When you combine photos of your sister and future brother-in-law at one of the most magical places on earth, it is a recipe for an awesome portrait session. For years, I have dreamed of photographing on Carova Beach, specifically […]

Rounding out August with one more engagement session! I met Sarah and Brandon at Snead’s Farm in Fredericksburg for their portraits. I hadn’t been to Snead’s for quite awhile so I was really looking forward to their session. As it turns out, they had a lot of flowers in bloom and the light was beautiful […]

Skyline Drive/Shenandoah National Park in the summer has quickly become one of my favorite engagement session locations. While most people love to visit that area in the fall, there is something spectacular about photographing portraits in the summer. Everything is lush and green and so peaceful! Needless to say, I was super excited that Nicole […]

I’ve had so many wonderful summer engagement sessions, and this one was no exception! I met up with Kara and Matt in Culpeper for their session and they brought their Harley Davidson. They love to ride motorcycles, so it was perfect to incorporate that into their engagement portraits. I love when clients add a personal […]
