City center is now officially my new favorite place to shoot in spring! I adore it when my couples suggest portrait locations! When Sasha emailed me suggesting a crosswalk & City Center, I was all about it! I love shooting in places I’ve never been; it allows me to be even more creative and lets me explore my own city. 

I truly feel like people can never escape their childhood. For me, this is a fantastic thing! Bianca reached out to me through a mutual friend from my high school! I went to Atlantic High together in South Florida with our mutual gal pal Jackie Erdo. I just love that the people I was friends with at home are still in my corner despite that it has been ten long years since 2007!

Tory & Isaac are the sweetest couple ever. We first met last month for gelato at Dolcezza to discuss their vision for their wedding this July. You could tell by the way they talked about it that they just want to have a fun filled day surrounded by friends and family.

Every year, I have couples request photos in the cherry blossoms. And rightfully so! Ben and I even did our engagement photos with cherry blossoms! However.. tourists are swarming, even at sunrise! The Tidal Basin can be nuts. Because everyone wants their spring blooms without hundreds of people swarming, I have compiled a list of alternative photo locations that still allow for maximum blossoms but minimal people.  

I will preface this blog post by saying that I rarely shoot family sessions. This year, I have decided to specialize in weddings and engagements because that is what my heart feels the happiest doing. When Cynthia contacted me, I made the exception to capture her family at the monuments because I really feel like I clicked with her even though we had never met in person.
