For the past few years now we have a little tradition of meeting up with Ryan’s sister, her husband, and our two nephews for Christmas photos. Both Amanda and I create photo Christmas cards and she helps their parents make one too. So we have to get photos of Ryan and I, and then Amanda’s […]

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 […]

When location scouting for Anne and Carter’s engagement session (see that here), I took one look at the stunning fall foliage and I had to have another session here. Families and couples wait all year for this foliage and I had to squeeze another session in so I posted on my Instagram, 25% off for […]

When Amanda and Andy described the park they wanted they to do their engagement session I was excited. A beautiful park with big fields, trees, and a beach!? No way. Yes way. I followed them through the park and they kept going deeper and deeper and then down this trail that I wasn’t sure you […]

Brianna and I went to College together and I was so excited to see when she got engaged. I was more excited when she reached out to say that they were going to plan a pandemic micro-wedding in their backyard in the suburbs near DC. I think Briana has a career in wedding planning should […]

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 […]

I know that Kayla and William’s engagement session is in the Fall but there was something about this sunrise session that felt a lot like spring. There was the cool breeze but the temperature was warm and a bright sun. I think Kayla’s second outfit also contributed to that spring vibe. We walked along the […]
