Whitney and Jerry reached out in the fall, hoping to capture maternity photos to announce their baby boy arriving in January!! I recommended Brookside Gardens for their session, and when we arrived, the autumn colors absolutely showed up to impress — golden leaves everywhere, crisp air, and that soft sunset glow from the last rays […]

Rummer and Zach’s June summer wedding at River Farm was a breath of fresh air—joyful, vibrant, and completely alive from beginning to end.

While we were […]

There’s something truly magical about Washington D.C. in the springtime. Evelyn and Calvin’s engagement session at Dumbarton Oaks Gardens captured that feeling in every frame. The wisteria was in full, fleeting bloom. The gardens were glowing. And their energy together? Pure joy! A Spring Garden in Bloom Dumbarton Oaks is already one of the most […]

Some couples are just magnetic—Christian and Greg are that kind of couple. The kind where you can feel the history and laughter between them without needing to hear the full story. Lucky for me, I did get to hear the full story. And document it. And cry over it (just a little). I met Christian […]

Welcoming Baby Gus: A Last-Minute Maternity Session When Caroline & Tom reached out to me just a week before their due date, I couldn’t have been more excited to document this special moment for them.

A Relaxed and Intimate Maternity Session Last fall, I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Hannah and James’ maternity session at LED Studios in Old Town, Alexandria.
