There’s nothing quite like Georgetown in the spring! The trees are blooming, the architecture almost seems to come to life and the town feels even more quaint than it already is. After rescheduling our session at least 4 times, I’m SO happy that I finally got to spend the morning with Melanie, Romel, Lily & […]

Sam and Brian’s wedding on Saturday at the beautiful Crown Rose Estate in Knoxville, Maryland was everything a spring wedding should be! Although it rained, you’d never know it because these two were full of light and love. After many years together, the two of them have finally tied the knot and I’m so glad […]

Ryan and I waited so long for our trip to San Diego and now it’s come and gone! I can’t believe it. I seriously fell in love with this beautiful city out in California. There’s just something incredible about the sea breeze, the history, the military everywhere and the food. Oh, and of course, the […]

When Katherine reached out to me about coming for a visit in San Diego, I was thrilled! Getting to travel back to the West Coast? Yes! Getting to see an old friend from high school? Yes! Getting to meet her wonderful college sweetheart? Of course! I’m so glad she wanted to have some portraits done […]

I LOVE traveling. Like, getting on a plane, going somewhere new and just BEING there is the best thing in this world to me. It goes without saying then, that coming back is the worst part about traveling. It’s not that I don’t love being home too – but settling back into real life can […]

Honestly guys, I didn’t think I would get this blog post up today. And not because I didn’t want to but because I had SO many favorites from this wonderful mommy & me session in Downtown Fredericksburg this Sunday night! There’s something amazingly special about mommy and me sessions because I get to capture such […]

I can’t believe that April is here! I’m in month FOUR of the Contentment Challenge. I’ve honestly hardly spent money on myself or the house unless it was an urgent need. I have found I spend money on eating out (whether it’s running late + grabbing dinner or an unplanned date night with Ryan) and […]

About a month ago, I posted the first blog in this mini-series about what to wear for your maternity session when you’re the momma of a little girl. I’m so excited to share the next entry in this series about what to wear to your maternity session when you’re the momma (to-be) of a little […]

One of the questions I’m asked most of all is what to wear for a session with me. While I think wearing what makes you feel beautiful (or handsome) is most important, I think there’s a few ideas that are helpful in making sure the images we’re creating together come out the way we imagined […]

I’ll be totally honest. For the longest time, I had a major vendetta against Valentine’s Day. And I couldn’t really say why, other than it’s a silly holiday. Which I think we all know. But in years like this one, I think we could all use a little silliness and happiness. Plus I think it […]
