Jefferson Memorial + National Gallery of Art E+R (and H the pup)   It was a perfectly DC morning with Elsa, Robey, and their adorable pup, Hudson.

Olivia +Jack DC National Cathedral     If you’re looking for an incredibly classic (with a touch of European vibes), an engagement session at DC National Cathedral is exactly what you need! When these two reached out about their session here, I was delighted to photograph them in such a stunning part of downtown. From […]

If I’m being honest, I had no expectations for this engagement session. I hadn’t been to the city in years. Michelle had become an Instagram acquaintance and I was mostly excited to meet her and her new fiance Denny. Coming to the city as a photographer is so much different than as a tourist. We […]

The sunrise in Washington DC is hard to top. The usually humming city is quiet in the early hours. The monuments feel more reverent, the light glows a golden hue that lasts only a few minutes. It’s a surreal feeling to have the city almost to yourself. All that to say, it’s the most incredible […]

Francesa and Sam Austin Engagement Photos Camino Real Ranch   I’m not sure I’ve ever laughed so much at an engagement session. Sam was somewhat quiet during our Zoom chat ahead of our session, but the day of? He had Francesca cracking up, showcasing her gorgeous smile, and me saying “Oh my gosh!” followed by […]
