A last-minute change in the weather forecast couldn’t stop Anna and James from having the most magical engagement session at Oatlands Historic House and Gardens in Leesburg, Virginia. While I’m very flexible on rescheduling a session due to rain and had offered to do so for Anna and James, they bravely decided to continue as […]

Not every session goes according to plan. And Molly and Drew’s picnic engagement photos at Sky Meadows State Park are the perfect example of how something unexpected can still turn out beautifully. When we first talked about locations, they had a clear vision – golden hour light, open meadows, and a romantic, peaceful atmosphere. Sky […]

I photographed Sarah and Max’s engagement session at Green Spring Gardens earlier this year and I am so excited to finally share it with you now!

You know what’s awesome? Celebrating love that just keeps getting better! I was thrilled to photograph Dana and Zach’s (early) first anniversary portrait session among the gorgeous cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin in Washington, DC. I had so much fun working with Dana and Zach again after shooting their wedding at the Roanoke Hotel […]

I recently had the absolute pleasure of photographing Annemarie and Ethan’s winter engagement session at the beautiful and dramatic Ficklen Island in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Despite the chilly weather, their love warmed the air, making every moment worth capturing. The barren backdrop of wintery Ficklen Island perfectly complimented the dramatic river behind them, showing off the […]

I’m so excited to share Rebekah and Dominic’s cozy winter engagement session in Great Falls, Virginia.

Rebekah and Dominic met in 2020 through the Catholic Campus Ministry at Virginia Tech. They started dating […]

Gabe is a friend of mine from college, and it brings me so much joy to be able to take photos of him and his girlfriend Megan! Gabe and Megan are the kind of people I don’t see often, but they’re so friendly and fun when I do! These two are clearly made for one […]

I am so excited to share Melissa and Willoughby’s engagement sessions at the Smithsonian National Zoo on the blog! Melissa and Willoughby met while working at the American University TV station over 10 years ago. After a few years of dating, they got engaged while on a beach trip with friends. Now they’re getting the […]

We returned to Green Spring Gardens Park in Alexandria, Virginia for Christy and Kyle’s engagement session and it was a romantic summer dream! Christy and Kyle met when they were both students at George Mason University. While Christy ended up transferring (to Marymount University, where I met her through our Catholic Campus Minstry!), their relationship […]

Lovancy and Chuckie met on Catholic Match. I always love meeting couples who met on Catholic Match because it’s how my husband and I met as well! These two are clearly a match made in heaven and I have loved getting to know them! I’m so excited to share a sneak peek of their summer […]
