Have you ever photographed in a freezing wind tunnel? Well, after this session, I can accurately say that I have.

Meadowlark Engagement Photos | DC Garden Engagement | Virginia Flower Engagement Session | Rachel and Charles

While holiday cards and updates are important, so are springtime celebrations!

Spring Mini Sessions | District of Columbia Cherry Blossom Mini Sessions | 2019

What a bombshell couple these two are!! Diane is actually Ben’s best friend’s little sister! I have known the Mechners since Ben and I started dating so this was a blast to finally meet Diane and Cam in person! These two met at Robinson (when they were 10 years old!) and started dating in their high school years. Cam actually asked her to homecoming by decorating her mininvan in the Robinson parking lot. They then went to college across the country from one another, him at USC and her at UVA, but they managed to make the distance work. Like a true romantic, Cam proposed to Diane in the same parking lot in the same manner he asked her to homecoming all those years ago: he decorated her car with a very different question- ‘Will you marry me?’

It’s SUPER rare for me to snap an in home session like this one but I couldn’t say no to Adleigh and Chace! I reserve family sessions for past clients and I just KNEW this one would be an instant favorite of mine. Adleigh and I are style twins; we have a mutual love of blush, Lulus and blogger Amber Fillerup! Her nursery stepped out of my dreams! If Ben and I ever venture into this stage of life, Adleigh will be my first call for home design tips!
