Kathryn & Javier // National Arboretum Engagement Session, Washington DC
First of all, I cannot believe I’ve lived in DC for almost 9 years and have never been to the National Arboretum. I was so excited when Kathryn and Javier asked me to take their engagement photos there. What a cool place. If you didn’t know these columns are the former columns of the US Capitol (more information on that here). Definitely worth a stop.
Congrats to Kathryn and Javier! Can’t wait for your wedding in October.

Matt & Lani Engagement [Roosevelt Island – Washington, DC]
Sneak Peek: Luke & Rebecca [Mt. Vernon]
I had a blast shooting Luke and Rebecca’s engagement session today. Not only did the rain hold off, but this was my first time visiting Mt. Vernon. I know, I’ve lived in DC for 8 years and have never been. Ridiculous right? Well, to say the least, I was impressed. The grounds were absolutely gorgeous. I will definitely be going back.
Be sure to check back next week to see the full post ~ Congrats to Luke and Rebecca!
Sneak Peek: Matt & Lani Engagement [Roosevelt, Island]
This past week we had a break in rain and decided to head over to Roosevelt Island for Matt & Lani’s engagement shoot. This was our fist time checking out Roosevelt Island. What a unique DC spot. Check back next week to see the full post. Looking forward to their wedding in May!

Koby & Jamie
This past weekend my husband and I flew to Hot Springs Village, Arkansas to see my family for Thanksgiving. Not only were we excited to get inexpensive last minute airfare, but this was the first time, excluding our wedding, that my family has been together on a holiday in years. We had a truly wonderful visit and delectable vegan fare (my mom went beyond herself to create some of the best vegan food I’ve ever tasted).
Since my brother and his girlfriend Jamie were in town, we decided to venture out in the 60 degree weather for a photo shoot. I’ll bet you didn’t know Arkansas was this pretty! Of course photographing this couple was easy. Jamie is used to being in front of the camera. Check out her fashion blog at www.thefancyteacup.blogspot.com.
Nora & Taylor [Engagement Photography]
This past Sunday I had the privilege of shooting an engagement session on behalf of Enigma Productions (wedding photography company based out of Blacksburg, VA) at Oatlands Plantation in Leesburg, VA. With Saturday snowing and sustaining barely above freezing conditions I was slightly worried we’d have to reschedule our engagement session. However, Sunday rolled around, the snow melted, the temperature rose (to almost 60!), and the location was absolutely stunning. God couldn’t have blessed us with a more perfect evening. Congratulations to Nora and Taylor!
