Christian and Eva

From grandparents who party to a Christmas troll who photobombs the wedding portraits, Christian and Eva’s wedding was a celebration of family and traditions. This wedding was a joy to shoot and the happiness from family and friends was palpable. They had a beautiful Catholic wedding, officiated by Father Michael White, who also baptized Eva. […]

Henry & Oliver

To me, the best thing about working with kids or young children is that they wear their hearts on their sleeves.  This shoot was done a few months ago for Christmas cards that the family sent out. With so many awesome options like TinyPrint, it just makes sense to get professional photography done for some […]

Phoebe, Henry, & Caleb

Uh oh. So I’m at the age where my friends are now having children, which is both weird and amazing at the same time. Did I mention cute too? I remember going to Phoebe and Henry’s wedding a few years ago, and my, does time go fast. Now they have an adorable baby boy who […]

Perry and Chanali

Perry had an easy time of slipping off Chanali’s heels, but the congregation laughed as Chanali visibly struggled in untying and removing Perry’s dress shoes and socks. They were attempting to wash each other’s feet to symbolize how they would selflessly and humbly serve each other through marriage.  The reverend joked that if this imbalance […]

Make This | Chewy Triple Ginger Cookies

Hello new year. Yesterday I dropped my 7 quart dutch oven on my foot. Granted, it wasn’t from very far up, but it still was enough to do some mysterious damage. I was fine all throughout the day until the evening when I popped my last batch of cookies into the oven. As I walked […]

Christina and Steven

My husband and I recently went to Atlanta, Georgia to attend a friend’s wedding. While I didn’t go to shoot, I couldn’t help but bring some equipment. Glad I did!

Kimberlee & Matthew

After Kimberlee had been helped into her wedding gown by her mother and before the groom’s party was scheduled to arrive, we took her away from her bridesmaids for some quick bridal portraits. Looking out the window to pose, Kimberlee finally had a moment of silence to herself. As she looked off into the distance, […]

Mary and Gabe

Under a canopy of lights, with the sun setting quickly, Mary and Gabe exchanged vows while friends and family gathered to watch. Mary’s sister read from a Douglas Adam’s novel as a part of the ceremony and everyone gave their well wishes. I had seen Adelphi Mill online before during my own search for a […]

Natalie

She looks like dad when she’s hungry, and after she’s fed she lights up in a smile like mom.  Natalie’s only a few months old now, but every week is a new milestone. It’s really amazing how quickly babies grow and I hope to have the chance to help document it. Keep up the cuteness, […]

Fairfax High School Homecoming

A girl from my youth group decided to bring me on to take pictures of her homecoming crew before they went out for the main event.  I suppose if you’re spending time gussying yourself up, you might as well capture the moment! Of course, as these things are prone to go, the group expanded by […]
