I adored this sunrise session with Amy and Craig. These two toured me around their neighborhood of Mt. Pleasant Saturday morning before the farmer’s market. I never dreamed there would be so many fun nooks and crannies just around the corner from their town house! 

Well, we did it! We made it one full year as a married couple. Although we have known each other for about a decade and have been together for 6 years, there is something so special about the first year of marriage. I really do feel like Ben and I work as a team, sometimes to a fault.

This was the sweetest engagement session of the year. When Courtney contacted me to snap some quintessential DC photos, I assumed the couple just thought the city was pretty. Little did I know, the pair wanted to document all the spots special to them before starting their new life in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Capturing proposals is my absolute favorite thing in the world! I get to play spy for the day & witness one of the most romantic moments in a person’s life! When Corie contacted me about snapping engagement photos for her brother, I couldn’t wait to hear details. 

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.  

This is a super special portrait session to me. I love this couple so much because Steph deserves happiness more than anyone I know. She was an incredible roommate in a crappy apartment when we had crappy teaching jobs. She also is the most giving person I have ever met; she LITERALLY gave a kidney to help a family member last year. Tim is one hell of a guy for making this girl the happiest I’ve ever seen her in our years of friendship.
