Rose-Helen and Filippo were my first ‘pink tree’ clients of the year! Knowing that the tidal basin might be shut down due to COVID, we decided to go for magnolia photos instead; and oh boy, was it a treat. We began at sunrise at the Enid A Haupt Garden with their adorable puppy Roots (who […]

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 […]

John and Maria found me through past clients and just knew they wanted DC Monument engagement photos. Since Jefferson is under construction and the Capitol is fenced off due to the insurrection, we landed on Lincoln. What a time to be engaged in DC! We woke up early to catch the sunrise light and were […]

Elizabeth and Connor met in DC so they just knew they wanted a classic DC engagement session. Although they’ll be getting married in Austin, Texas (where this bride to be is originally from), they wanted to celebrate where they built their life together. We got insanely lucky with the weather and this happened to be […]

I don’t know how to put this yearly post into words. Like many, 2020 was slated to be my best, most profitable year yet… but make plans and the universe laughs. When the pandemic shutdowns began, I assumed quarantine would be over by fall. Welp, the joke was on me and I am always reminded […]

Savannah and Nick flew in from Charlotte to snap this engagement session and oh man, it was a good one! Even in winter, the Lincoln Memorial is stunning! I was a little worried about the weather (it was 35 degrees this morning) but Savannah was a champ and laughed through the entire hour. My hubby […]

Some mornings are just better than others. The forecast actually said overcast but MAN I am glad we kept this date. The fog made for this stunning diffused light so that Emily and Will had some epic, dramatic sun. Some locations just never get old! At the end of the session they joked about how […]

When you have a 2 year old puppy, you just KNOW he has to be front and center in your engagement photos. Lee and Alden decided to take a lovely fall walk around Georgetown for their engagement session! I toured them all around my favorite spots to get the ideal fall leaves and some European […]

Milan and Garrett are couple goals. They are not only chic and stylish but STUNNING and fun! I threw them right into posing and they were pretty much down for whatever. These two planned to get married in Greece but with travel shut down, they postponed another year. Lucky for me, they decided to celebrate […]
