Last night I met the Thomas family at the Carlyle House in downtown Alexandria for their annual family portraits! You may recognize them from a session I did a few weeks ago, but this time we had a whole hour to dedicate to just their family. I loved getting to see them again! It felt […]

Yesterday I had the privilege to photograph my first backyard wedding! Drew and Britney had to postpone their wedding celebration almost a year and a half, but they wanted to be husband and wife earlier than that. The solution? An intimate wedding at Drew’s parents’ house in Howard County Maryland. This house holds a special […]

Well, it’s time for another trimester update! I cannot believe that we are 2/3 of the way to meeting our little girl. Just like I mentioned in my First Trimester Update, this post is as much for me as it is for you guys. I want to answer your questions and potentially help any other […]

When the whole family gets together, it’s the perfect time for some updated family photos! Especially if you’ve added a new grandbaby to the group this year! Melanie and Tom know that it gets rarer and rarer to have all three of their daughters home together, so they decided to take advantage of this holiday […]

I absolutely love to be back behind the lens photographing gorgeous couples in love on their wedding day! Back in April I was really worried that I wouldn’t photograph a single wedding this year. Now each day that I get up and go to work that ends with a big party feels like such a […]

Since traveling to France wasn’t possible this summer due to COVID, we decided to bring France to Maryland with this Parisian inspired wedding at the Liriodendron Mansion! If you know me, you know this wedding has all my favorite elements of a wedding day: fluffy peonies, shades of dusty blue, a giggling couple, and a […]

What an honor it was to photograph Kelly and Jaryn’s intimate wedding on Saturday at Grace Community Church in Howard County. It was a day completely centered on the Lord, which is the perfect way to start a marriage! Their original plans for this day looked a little different, but these two (and their families) […]

It is full of beautiful summer color paired with a hopelessly in love couple and […]
