January, record breaking temperatures and unbearable wind chills.  That’s what Becky & Joe braved for their engagement session at the Westin in downtown Annapolis.  Despite the cold, my heart was warmed by witnessing Joe’s inexpressibly sweet tenderness and affection for Becky.  She radiates as a woman who’s “found the one whom her soul loves’.  I cannot wait to see […]

St. Matthews Cathedral & Iron Gate Wedding

St. Matthew’s Cathedral and Iron Gate brunch wedding. What started as casual date-night conversation over dinner under the wisteria canopy and beside the warm fire pits at Iron Gate turned into an idyllic wedding at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle.

This weekend these two remarkable people are tying the knot and I’m the lucky girl who gets to document the love, joy well wishes of their family and friends.  When Darian emailed to tell me he was engaged, I thought “what a lucky girl”, but after meeting Holly I knew he was the lucky one. […]

I hope everyone had a fun and safe July Fourth weekend.  Ours was pretty quiet this year.  Easton’s fireworks are the day of and we can see the very tips of the show from our pool deck.  Saturday the town of St. Michaels celebrates so we headed down with our friends for dinner and fireworks on the […]

These two tug at my heart-strings.  They are the sweetest couple and so completely, head over heels in love it.  We spent a perfect, Saturday morning spreading that love around downtown Annapolis.  Sunday is the big day and I cannot wait to capture their commitment, joy and all their family and friends gathered to celebrate. […]

This beautiful, bright, sweet girl graduates today.  I was under Caroline’s spell 2 minutes into our shoot.  She has a quiet charm and thoughtful look in her eye that immediately puts you at ease and makes you want to gather her up in your arms with a great big hug.  I’m so thankful I had this opportunity to document […]

This weekend I had the privilege of photographing CASA’s annual fundraiser at the beautiful Hemmersley Farm.  If you’re unfamiliar with CASA, please take a minute to visit their website to learn about this organization that does so much for neglected and abused children.   With Preakness as inspiration for this year’s theme, there were plenty of beautiful hats […]

Sailboats, sunshine and a stunning couple.  Colleen and Ethan are such a super sweet couple.  They traveled from Arlington to Colleen’s family home in Oxford, Maryland for their engagement shoot.   It was such a fun and relaxing afternoon with new friends.  I’m so thrilled to be shooting their wedding at the Hyatt Chesapeake Bay!

  I’ve been holding onto these until Bekah returned from her semester in Africa not knowing they would serve as pre-engagement photos!  Brandon proposed the moment she landed!  We’re so over joyed for them.  These images were shot on what was probably the coldest day of the longest winter.  We were frozen through. Popsicles were […]

Everything. Absolutely everything was perfect for Kelly & Chris’s wedding day at Sunset Crest Manor in Chantilly, VA.  I can’t wait to share more.  It’s been so wonderful watching their love bloom since meeting at the Trinity Forum Academy and an honor to be there to capture the celebration with their closest family and friends.

KELLY + CHRIS!  The big day has finally arrived.  Tomorrow, everyone they love and who loves them will gather together to witness their vows for a lifetime of joy and commitment.  To celebrate love and the best that these two wonderful people bring out in each other.  To share in the anticipation and excitement for the […]

Pink, Flowers and Fashion -- a Bridal Shower in Maryland

Capturing Christa’s bridal shower was such a joy. She is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I love when there’s an opportunity to meet family and friends of the couple prior to the wedding day. In addition to being really helpful, it makes the big day even more fun for us.
