I haven’t done as many newborn lifestyle shoots as I have weddings or seniors, but each one is so special to me.  There is something breathtaking about capturing the interaction between parents and newborns, especially for the firstborn.  This newborn shoot was extra special because it was a birthday gift for Kelly from her sister, […]

I have always wanted to do a lavender field engagement shoot but had no idea there was one so close to us! When Brittany suggested we check out Soleado Lavender Farm I felt like a kid in a candy shop as I scouted out their website and instagram. This place is seriously gorgeous and I had […]

After four reschedules and an engagement shoot that got cut in half due to the rain, I was starting to think that Jess and David were straight up cursed when it came to the weather.  Thankfully, our sixth try brought us a beautiful summer evening and I’m hopeful their luck holds out for their Lodges at […]

Stephen and Michelle are seriously just the nicest couple and their Washington DC and Hotel Monaco DC wedding was stunning! Their romance started at Catholic University during a campus ministry retreat.  They both were assigned to work together on presenting a 20 minute speech on their faith journeys, and during their preparation they started to […]

It’s been awhile since I’ve blogged a senior shoot, but I loved Abby’s Baker Park senior pictures so while Savannah’s being entertained by her toys I thought I’d give it a try!  Abby contacted me last fall about senior pictures but at the time I was almost nine months pregnant and Abby was in the […]

If this Franciscan Monastery engagement shoot proved anything it’s that Amy and Marc are able to remain positive despite serious crazy shenanigans trying to ruin their day.  I met Amy a few summers ago through a mutual friend after Amy moved down from Pittsburgh and then we discovered we would be teaching at the same […]

These last few weeks have been a time of soul searching and reflection, culminating with the realization that I want to do more, to give more, to be more. For the past six years I was a teacher and I loved it with all my heart. I loved pouring into my students, forming relationships with […]

Remember that March snowstorm that came out of nowhere and covered up all my daffodils turning them into a sad, droopy mess?  Yeah, that was the day we were supposed to take Michaela and Tyler’s Harpers Ferry engagement pictures. Needless to say we rescheduled, and honestly I did a little dance when it snowed because it […]

My poor child. I must admit, a small part of me feels bad for Savannah.  She didn’t ask to be the firstborn of a photographer. If she had known she’d be subjected to multiple photoshoots for every season and holiday imaginable I’m sure she would have tried to get out of it.  Alas, she had […]

I can’t believe my little lovey is already 4 weeks old today! Savannah Grace entered our world and forever changed our lives on January 2nd, 2017.  She weighed 7 pounds 15 ounces (after pooping twice all over mommy! I’m confident she would have been an 8 pound baby had she just controlled herself!) and was […]
