WEDDING EDUCATION & PHOTO INSPIRATION.

Nicole and Greg are such a fun couple. They chose to have their engagement session at The Wharf in D.C.! We had so much fun, in particular because this area of the city has special meaning for them both. They met in March of 2021, and they were both looking for their “forever” love. Their […]

Choosing A Micro Wedding Venue Having had a micro wedding myself almost ten years ago, I can speak to the intimacy and intention you face when planning. They weren’t nearly as popular pre-pandemic as they are now, but I believe more people are seeing the value in elopements, micro weddings, and “minimonies”.  There are many […]

When Aimee and Sabastian booked their engagement session with me, I knew the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. was going to be the perfect location for their photos! Everything about this historical place, from the outdoor sculpture to the columns and the view of the U.S. Capitol, makes it an amazing spot for […]

What can I say about Jade and Preston? Working with them was like having my own personal models in front of the camera! Jade and Preston were married on their initial wedding day in 2020. In 2021, they decided to host their reception with all their friends and family. Because of the pandemic, they weren’t […]

They’ve spent the last few years enjoying each other while exploring the city, finding the best places to eat, and building a small family with their sweet pups! Christian and […]

One of my favorite traditions for brides are bridal portraits! They’re such a special memory for brides and a great way to capture all of the little details that make your bridal look, well, YOU! Although we always make time for portraits of the bride (and groom!) on your wedding day, a bridal session is […]

These Howard University freshman portraits for Jordan were so much fun to capture (even if I am a Hampton graduate myself!). When Jordan reached out to me about doing portraits at her new home, Howard University, I was really excited for her. I had photographed her senior portraits from high school and so to be […]
