Rachael + Aaron

A sneak peak of a wedding I am finishing from Lynchburg, VA.

Gift Certificates

I recently received a request for a portrait certificate for the holidays and I was more than happy to help create a custom gift! Please feel free to let me know if you are interested in creating your own personalized photo gift package!

Courtney

I am VERY behind on blogging, but I will try to add a few updates soon! Until then, meet Courtney. I joined her on Saturday for a little fun in the field by her house, then on the streets of Charles Town. She was absolutely adorable and I am sure her soon-to-be-born brother or sister will be too.

Robin + Rae: Engaged!

I first met Robin and Rae on Saturday morning and within 24 hours we were taking their engagement photos! We spent one of the first cool mornings this fall enjoying the changing colors of the leaves as we walked around the park. And it won't be long before we are enjoying the cool evening of their wedding in March!

Back from NY

Last weekend, I headed up to NYC for the PhotoPlus Expo photography tradeshow where I had a great time hanging out with friends, researching new products and updating my equipment. Unfortunately, I was so busy having fun, that I neglected to take out my camera!! But I did have someone take a quick shot of me with my friend Jason Domingues from Kansas City. His work continues to astound me on a weekly basis and is really inspirational. Be sure to check out his blog to see some really great photography.

Diana + Jonathan: Engaged!

Today Diana, Jonathan, Rocky-the-dog, and I toured Fairfax and took some fun engagement pictures. I had a great time with this (fabulous looking!) couple and I can't wait for the wedding next June!

Christine + Andrew

Mark and I headed to The Oaks on the Eastern Shore to photograph the incredibly fun wedding of Christine and Andrew. After 6 years of dating, they tied the knot and started their family, surrounded by a terrific crowd of loved ones who partied until the very last second the dj would allow. (The dj was terrific, btw, and I HIGHLY recommend DJ Brian McDaniel for a great party!)

Julie + Will

Last weekend I had a great time shooting with Kate Triano at Raspberry Plain in Leesburg, VA. The site was gorgeous and Julie definitely needs to strike out on her own as a wedding planner. The details she brought together were seamless and perfect! Good luck to both of you for all future happiness!

Melinda + Brian

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of photographing an absolutely wonderful couple, Melinda and Brian, as they were married on the bay in Ocean City, MD. The weather was phenomenal, and I had a wonderful day photographing them with their family and friends.

Melinda has the most remarkable eyes I have ever seen.

That goreous green is her REAL eye color!

I couldn't help but steal Brian's ring when I found this napkin!

Brian comes from a large family....Say hello to the whole gang!

The daughter of Melinda's very good friend served as a flower girl,
and she loved every minute of it!
And finally, the beautiful couple themselves...Here's to happily ever after and thank you for letting me share your day with you!

Keli + Mike

This weekend, I had the priviledge of shooting with a someone I consider to be one of our local "rockstar photographers," Mark Gardner. The wedding was held on the eastern shore of Maryland at the beautiful Chesapeake Bay Hyatt. Keli and Mike are a very fun and fabulous couple, and obviously meant to be together. I had a terrific weekend, and here are a few photos to share.

FONZ

Today I went to the National Zoo with my friend Mike, who, although he technically *lives* and grew up here, only spends about 8 weeks of the year in DC. It was great to see him, and we had a great time. The zoo was a bit of a let-down though. Both Mike and I have been to South Africa where you see all of the wild animals running free and the humans have to stay penned up in their vehicles for safety. This means you can get really close to lions, elephants, giraffe, cheetahs, etc. And it seems that there was more construction at the zoo than animals. But we still enjoyed walking around taking pictures and enjoying the beautiful weather. Here are a few of my favorite furry friends.

Mike took this picture of me making friends =)
