Portraits

I often say that on any given day, I love my job more than I ever thought it was possible to enjoy work. From weddings and mitzvahs to family and senior portrait sessions, it is an honor and a privilege to have clients trust me to capture such momentous and beautiful milestones in their lives.

It was such a delight working with Allison + Dan for their Baltimore engagement session this fall. We found fall foliage, gorgeous light, winding paths in the woods and some marvelous trees to incorporate into their photos. As I print schedules and reformat memory cards for their Four Seasons Baltimore wedding today, I couldn’t resist looking back at and … See More

When I first met with Lauren + Eric, they told me they were drawn to my photography style because they love photos that show genuine emotion and are not overly posed or forced. We had *so much* fun making images just like that this past summer at their DC engagement session. As I print schedules and reformat memory cards … See More

As I made my way around the room last night at Kristen + Austin’s rehearsal dinner, capturing candid moments and snapping group photos of their guests, a friend of the bride’s family approached me. She recognized me, she said, and wondered if I was a member of the family. I laughed as I explained that no, I was not … See More

I spent a beautiful — albeit, windy — afternoon with Jen and Tyler for their Gettysburg engagement session last fall. We found beautiful fields, a covered bridge, scenic vistas, a few old canons and lots and lots of gorgeous fall light.

It was such a joy to work with Allie + Val for their New York City engagement session last fall. They will exchange vows and rings tomorrow in Allie’s native Charm City.

Lauren + Eric chose a DC engagement session for their pre-wedding photos. We laughed and chatted and laughed some more all around the Georgetown waterfront together. For almost any photo job, it’s rare that the very first click of the shutter is a keeper. People who are unaccustomed to being photographed often need a wee bit of time to … See More

Leanne + JJ love books. And they love DC. So it made perfect sense for us to shoot their engagement photos at one of their favorite DC bookstores and then in a fun alley painted with colorful murals. As I print schedules and pack up my gear for their wedding today at the Baltimore Museum … See More

I am a person who grumbles almost every time my alarm goes off at 4.30ish in the morning before a sunrise portrait session with my clients. But it takes only about three or four images before I grudgingly admit to myself, “Oh yes, *this* is why we get up for first light. This light cannot be repeated at a … See More

It feels like Kelsey, Chris + I have been e-mailing and chatting about their wedding for forever. So today, as I reformat memory cards and pack gear for their it’s-finally-here big day, I couldn’t resist looking back at and sharing a few favorites from their Baltimore engagement session last spring. I can’t wait to work with them again today … See More
