When Kathy sent me inspiration photos for this shoot, I happily referred her to studio photographers in the area. Kathy would not take “I don’t shoot studio” for an answer and oh, man am I so happy she didn’t! I LOVE trying new forms of photography and am thrilled that she put her trust in me to nail this studio session.

Washington DC Wedding Photographer | Merry Christmas From the Tubens

This couple right here was super darling. Vivi contacted me about an engagement shoot with a new request: night time photos! I was so excited! We live in one of the most stunning cities in the world and it comes alive at night.

Capitol Hill Engagement | DC Evening Engagement | Vivi and Kevin

Every year, I have couples ask me where to tie the knot! To try to help out, I decided to make a list about the Best DC Wedding Locations and it was such a hit that I decided to turn it into a little series. Without further adieu here are my favorite rustic Northern Virginia Wedding Venues.

Let’s talk about boudoir. Boudoir is a genre of photography that has a special place in my heart. Mostly because it is an art form about female empowerment that takes a high level of skill, empathy and understanding. A bad boudoir shoot can look like porn and make a woman feel self-conscious. A well-executed, styled boudoir session can make you feel invincible and sexy as hell.
