The evening for the shoot, the weather was perfection. I just knew that the fates were with us as we ventured through Harper's Ferry, West Virginia. This is one of my favorite locations to shoot. It presents some difficulties, like the need for a permit, which isn't fun, but fortunately, the National Park Service is quite easy to work with and it's always better to be safe than sorry :) This family came as a referral from one of my clients last year. It was pleasure to spend time together …
Its gotta be vintage for Erin + Eric: Loudoun County Wedding Photographer
When I first met Erin and Eric, Erin came with a laptop, overflowing with beautiful vintage ideas for her wedding next May. I could tell she was going to be a fun bride and I loved every idea she shared with me. Poor Eric! We sat there for a good hour discussing decorating ideas, and colors schemes, and our favorite wedding blogs. You know you have a keeper when they just sit there, nod their heads, and smile like "it's all good." Given that Erin had so many ideas and needed someone to help …
Families are Forever: Loudoun County Photographer
When I look at these images from this session, I realize why I love my job so much. I love capturing real life, real emotion, real love. This family had all of these things and more.

Such an appropriate nickname for a girl who loves her little chicks. She's such a sweet momma to them. It was so nice to sit back, …
Vendor Love: D.C. Wedding Photographer, D.C. Wedding Florist
Whenever I photograph a wedding, I am always careful to capture the smallest of details because I know that all of those details are things that the bride has thought about and planned for. And I am sure my brides want to remember how everything looked on their wedding day. When I come across a vendor that does an exceptional job, I want to make sure to feature them on my blog because the fact is, when a vendor such as a floral vendor does an excellent job, it only enhances my photography and …
Zach & Jenn are getting hitched: Maryland Wedding Photographer, D.C. Modern Wedding Photography
These two!! I love them. They are so much fun to hang out with. They had so many great stories and even though I can't share all of them, I will share a few of them. They first met on the lawn of the National Mall for an outdoor movie, "Gentlemen Prefer Blonds." Jenn was sitting on a blanket and Zach needed a place to sit, so hey, why not sit next to the pretty brunette on the blanket ;) As the evening developed they realized they really liked spending time together and decided they …
