Anat & Yury - Adams Morgan e session

Adam's Morgan is DC's most vibrant community. The area is full of restaurants, clubs, hookah bars, and shops. This cultural richness makes it quite a fun place to live.
I recently met Anat and Yury at their apartment, then stepped out to their neighborhood with camera in hand. We walked around quite a bit, all the while stopping to snap a photo or two. I always appreciate shooting engagement sessions in a couple's home turf; it makes it more personal.

Lauren & Joe - good morning Georgetown

I recently had the pleasure of hanging out with a great couple at the Georgetown waterfront.
It started out as a misty morning but the clouds held off their rain.
Lauren and Joe were good humored and easygoing. This resulted in some sweet images.
As we finished up the shoot, we looked on as a pair of mules pulled a boatload of tourists through the locks along the C&O canal.
Looking forward to the wedding in October.

Kristen, Ali and a rainbow!

Kristen & Ali had a lovely small wedding in Brookeville Maryland. The ceremony was outdoors at the home of their close friends and it was simply perfect. We finished the portraits just in time for a powerful thunderstorm followed by an amazing double rainbow!

Baby Whitney has arrived!

Caroline & Tim invited us into their home on a lovely Sunday afternoon to meet the latest addition to their family!
Whitney was such a sweet baby. We learned first hand about the effectiveness of swaddling.
Here's a sneak peak into the lives of these loving and calm new parents.

Denise & Muana- from San Diego to Maryland

Congratulations to a stylish couple, Denise and Muana, who just recently tied the knot.
Though their wedding was in Maryland, they now live in San Diego.
While the bride placed her birdcage veil with some finessing from her bridesmaids, the groom got a helping hand from his best buds at putting himself together.
After the church ceremony, everyone headed to the Brookeville Inn for the reception.
The couple's first dance was quite unique and fun; a synchronized progression of sprightly steps, turns, lifts, and a final dip.
Such a sweet couple.
