RECENT WORK AND MUSINGS
One of the most asked questions I get as a wedding photographer: When should we schedule our engagement session? With engagements being longer than ever these days, the options can feel endless and my couples are always asking when is the best time. Let’s talk about it! One of the biggest factors to consider is […]
As a wedding photographer, there are so many things that I use everyday other than my camera & lenses that you wouldn’t expect or even think of! Amazon is often my go-to for wedding photography supplies since I am notorious for forgetting to order something until the last minute, and I can count on their […]
Let’s get real: Your wedding day will go by like a blur. All the months of planning, the perfectly curated guest list, the florals, food, and beautiful table scape, the vendors you’ve so thoughtfully selected to make this dream a reality – they all come and go within one day. And it’s not the first […]
This Shenandoah adventure session gave me everything I needed to create the perfect experience: Two of the most genuine and in love people I’ve ever met, endless laughter, jokes and the best time, and the most beautiful sunset I’ve witnessed in the national park. l’ll never forget this session! Emma & David are soulmates if […]
When Supriya first reached out and described her vision for their engagement shoot, that included chic white suits, an urban landscape in D.C., and dreamy light, I was so excited!

One of the things I love most about being a photographer? The ability to serve my clients in all different stages of their lives. Being able to capture someone as who they truly are, in all their beauty, and have that convey in photographs for them is SO incredibly rewarding and special. Needless to say, […]

Before I was immersed in the wedding industry, I too felt overwhelmed by all the different words and vibes, not knowing what exactly it was that I wanted – so if you’re in […]
This absolute stunner of a wedding at the Conrad Hotel in Washington, DC was one for the books! Everything from the ceremony set up (hello mirrored aisle!), to the reception space was so thoughtfully designed and all things glam. Maria and Brock’s dog, Valentina, was a part of getting ready and the ceremony, and it […]
Nicole and Sean absolutely love being by the water, so when we were planning their engagement session we landed on meeting up at sunrise at Sandy Point State Park in Maryland. We had the most beautiful picturesque morning for their photos and I love how they just exude joy! I can’t wait for their big […]
BEHIND THE LENS
Ever-focused on light and the thrilling art of creation; found in the perfectly, imperfect moments of real life.
My goal every time I pick up my camera is to create an atmosphere that invites my subjects to show up as their honest and truest selves allowing me to capture the feeling of this irreplaceable moment in time. Storytelling is at the heart of it all, and being entrusted to capture that for my couples will forever be one of the greatest honors.
