Cozy in-home sessions with brand new baby Grace.

A baby for Christmas!

The best (big and small) of my 28th year.

The trip of a lifetime. Our 11 Day Portugal Itinerary: Lisbon, Lagos, Porto & the Douro Valley

What a treat to help my dear friends announce the news that they are expecting a new baby!

What a joy to capture the new Mr. and Mrs. Veverka. Their love for each other, their families, and their friends made their wedding day sweet from beginning to end. That they are longtime friends of my sister Carla and I which makes it that much more special to be part of their day.

What a joy to witness Brent and Corbin’s relationship and capture their wedding. The day began with perfect, sunny fall weather. Brent and Corbin are so thoughtful and invited Patrick and I to enjoy lunch together, catch up, and fuel up for the day ahead! If you missed it, you can read a little more about them and see their Washington, DC engagement session here. After lunch, they took “the girls,” their poodles Millie and Charlotte, for a walk around the neighborhood and I couldn’t help but snap away. They are such a photogenic family!

I’m not even sure where to begin with Carrie and Billy. For these posts, I usually reflect on the wedding day and the moments that stood out to me, but with them, there is so much more to reflect on. With Billy, there is a lifetime of memories of he and I with our younger sisters and brothers. With Carrie, there is a newfound friendship that has deepened to a level I could have never expected in less than two years. I am so thankful and grateful they are part of my life.

Jessica kept peering out of the window of her bridal suite. She was looking for him. Shawn. The love of her life and her best friend. Amidst getting ready herself, helping her daughter get ready, and laughing with her bridesmaids, she couldn’t help but continue to steal peeks out the window. When she finally spotted him, she lit up like a little girl and said, “oh my gosh, he looks so CUTE!!”

These two! I was lucky enough to meet Lauren during my yoga teacher training earlier this year. For 200 hours, we learned about the physical, spiritual, and philosophical practice of yoga and …let’s just say it was more than we both bargained for. There’s nothing like a lot of intense, deep topics and tears to bond with a stranger! We ended the training as close friends and I was honored when she asked me to photograph her engagement session!

Patrick and I are so fortunate to call this beautiful couple our dear friends. Chas and Pat met playing lacrosse for the University of Maryland club team our freshman year. I was introduced to Chas’ enthusiastic self once Pat and I started dating and could see immediately how close they were. Where Patrick is calm and a little quiet, Chas is energetic and loud. A proven great fit for best friends.

What a joy to capture my cousin and his fiancé in their new home! Billy and I grew up together (along with our other million cousins) and he is one of the kindest people I know. He is lighthearted, cheerful, and has become my Dad’s very best friend. He is incredibly important to my family and we are thrilled he found his perfect match in Carrie.

On the night he proposed, we were all drinking champagne when Max asked if I’d always thought they’d get married. After thinking about it, I realized that I did by default because it simply never occurred to me that they would break up.

When they started dating in high school over eight years ago, it seemed crazy to think of this day.

As Danny turned around at the sound of her voice, his expression said it all. This was the moment they’d both been waiting for.
