Leila and Josh JUST missed cherry blossom season but, no big! We were able to take a few Kwanzan blossom photos instead! These bloom right after cherry season and we were able to find a grove right near the heart of the national mall. We started at Jefferson and made our way to the Capitol […]

Blake knew he wanted to propose with the Capitol in the background and this was the perfect secluded spot to surprise Caroline with the ring of her dreams! Little did she know, her family was also waiting around the corner for hugs and champagne! Here are my favorite images from this surprise capitol hill proposal. […]

Lily and Ben are two of my all-time favorite clients! When I had to pick models for a mentoring session, they were the first couple I thought of! I actually shot their wedding during the pandemic but we never did an official engagement together so this was the perfect excuse to get together again and […]

It’s evenings like this one that make me believe in love. Jessica and Bryant eloped on the national mall on a Wednesday. With the pandemic in full swing, they decided to make private vows to one another and self-officiate at the DC War Memorial. We took a handful of portraits at Lincoln before walking to […]

First comes love then comes marriage…. then comes engagement session?? Welp, if 2020 taught us anything it’s that life can be unpredictable. I actually photographed Erinn and Jon’s intimate Anderson House wedding mid-pandemic last year and we realized they never actually took engagement photos! When they reached back out I was over the moon excited […]

When I think ‘classic’ I think of the DC cherry blossoms. Cecilia and John wanted a DC spring engagement session at the Tidal Basin and I was thrilled we were able to give them their dream! With the closures due to the pandemic, I didn’t know how accessible the mall would be but we had […]

Alyssa and Ethan probably had one of my favorite sessions of the year. We knew we wanted cherry blossoms but also knew the tidal basin might be closed due to the pandemic. As it turns out, we went at sunrise on a weekend and had no problem at all with pedestrian access. In fact, these […]

This pair was a delight to photograph. They drove all the way from Baltimore for this early session before the National Guard closed down the Tidal Basin. Both Ishani and Vikram are health care professionals and the following week, they were slated to be working with at risk populations for COVID-19 so this was the […]
