Engagement Session

A leitmotif or leitmotiv is a short, recurring musical phrase associated with a particular person, place, or idea. Citation I first hear about leitmotifs while watching some behind-the-scenes features on Inside Out (I love Pixar movies) a week before Kristen and Brett’s session. The director was talking about the leitmotif they wrote for when happy memories are created, and the […]

Kim and I planned their engagement session very quickly. Tam travels a lot and we had a small window to work with while he was in town, and she wanted flowers and the first spring flowers were already in full bloom. Luckily Sherwood Garden in Baltimore had us covered for the flowers. I know the […]

Micah and Mark were an absolute delight to photograph. Micah and I went to college together at Notre Dame of Maryland. If you think she looks familiar, you are right. She was the maid of honor at Kara and Andrew’s wedding (can see their wedding here). I saw there was a handsome young man with […]

Katie and Mick have a lot going on in their lives. They are planning an out of state wedding, while planning an international move AND managing this during a pandemic. They are amazing. They reached out few months ago because I photographed another wedding at Mick’s parent’s home. They had recently gotten engaged but because […]

Having deja vu? Me too- but in a great way! I was just here a few weeks ago for Meghan and Tom’s engagement session. However, the sessions feel so different because in the fall, the leaves change so quickly so everything looks different even two weeks apart. What I love but also hate is their […]

I’ll be honest, I was worried we weren’t going to get any fall color for Meghan and Tom’s engagement session. We were going to go to downtown Annapolis but a storm came in a few days prior and took all the leaves. But her friend lives right by Quiet Waters Park and did some scouting […]

This was a once a year session. We sessions carefully, we watch the weather and sometimes adjust accordingly. In the fall we time our sessions to the leaves. We do everything we can to have perfect light and scenery. And sometimes we get magic. The light in the first few images is rare. Its buttery […]

Anne and Carter might just be one of the sweetest couples I’ve met. No surprise because they found me through the recommendation of another photographer, Lindsey Ann, who herself is one of the kindest people I know. They had a done a few photos with her earlier in their engagement session, so they were total […]

I met Danielle and Steven, at the beginning of the year. As we met at a Panera, we joked- I’m sure this Covid thing won’t be a big deal. Now in October, we have seen the full life span of it- the super scary of April, the relative calm of the summer and now the […]
