Sara & Justin’s engagement adventure was a synthesis of everything I love: beautiful weather, sun-soaked light, breezy mountain air, and great company. These two are so kind & down-to-earth that spending the evening on our hike felt like catching up with old friends. When we reached the top of the mountain peak (and paused to […]

It always refreshes my soul to take a trip to Shenandoah National Park & replace cell service with mountain air. I met up with Shayma & Andrew last week to explore the appalachian peaks for their engagement session & it certainly did not disappoint. We hiked up the stony trail, ducked our way through a […]

One of my all-time favorite jams is exploring a new nature trail with cool people. So lucky for me, I got to hang with Samantha & Brice for their engagement session on the Eastern Shore last week :). It was the perfect summer night as a warm breeze rustled the leaves & washed waves onto […]

I knew right off the bat Dinah & Brian’s engagement session was destined to be epic when Dinah sent me coordinates for our meeting location. It just doesn’t get cooler than that. Dinah & Brian frequently kayak to this woodsy spot from their home and enjoy spending time together on the river. They brought along […]

It’s pretty amazing how spending an evening walking trails in a park can lift your spirits. Meeting up with Circe & Brandon at Patuxent Research Refuge was a highlight of my week as we set out to enjoy nature & celebrate their engagement. With stormy clouds & distant lightning approaching closer and closer, we jumped […]

Two of the coolest things about my job are the people I get to meet & the places I get to see. While photographing a wedding this past February (back when crowds didn’t cause such a panic) I met two kind guestfolk and hit it off. When their one year anniversary rolled around just a […]

With new military orders, Ashley & Tom are heading out of Annapolis & into a new exciting season. To celebrate the town where they met, fell in love, & got married, we snagged some photos to commemorate this special place while enjoying the relaxing summer evening. It’s been a complete joy to be a part […]

Waking up before sunrise doesn’t happen often in my days. But dang it was worth it to push past that pitch-black 4am alarm snooze to hike this trail with Katy & Brett! We nailed the timing and landed at the cliff’s edge right before the sun began its morning stretch above the horizon. We explored […]

Exploring an industrial playground with two cool cats like Minh & Rob really puts me in a great mood. Add to that combination newfound quarantine freedom and I’m on cloud nine. I had such a grand time hanging out with these two (& remembering how to socially interact LOL). Since no one’s out these days, […]

Now that photography in Maryland & Anne Arundel County has *officially* been given the green light, I’m RRRDDDDYYYY to get out in the real world and go on adventures with rad people. I posted one of my favorite photos from Margaret & Steve’s engagement session on IG yesterday and wrote “These days are the perfect […]

When I watch this video clip & scroll through these photos, I’m instantly transported back to this moment. A moment when the sun shone, the wind blew over the mountaintop peak, and Tommy asked Ashley to be in his life forever. And man I think we could all use a little dose of this joy […]

Last week the sun shone & warmed up another token summer-winter day, making it the perfect setting for Aubrey & Brandon’s engagement session at Quiet Waters Park. To my delight they brought their golden retriever Maxwell who brought laughs & bountiful energy to our evening :). Some of his expressions in these photos literally get […]

Last week I posted photos of us from our in-home hang sesh with our bffs Erin & Jonathan of Kemp Collective, so today I’m sharing some photos we took of those two love birds! About a year (?) ago these two jumped into our lives & I can very confidently say that it’s been such […]

Tessa & Frank’s engagement session landed on a most beautiful sunny day last week (winter? what winter?) which meant flowy floral dresses & sun-soaked portraits. So I was obviously hyped :). We met up to explore all of the nature the Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center has to offer – tan grassy fields, boardwalks through swampy […]

Well this is one heck of a wonderful engagement session. Lauren & Nick spent an extended weekend at Elk Neck Park camping in their renovated Winnebago, hiking, making chicken pot pie over the fire, taking naps with their dogs Scotch & Stone, and enjoying the peaceful & quiet respite. So I tagged along on the […]

THISSSSS. It’s Friday && this post is just filling me up with a spirit of adventure. And tons of laughs. Sarah & Ted’s engagement session was seriously baller. Between their hilariousness & the canoe snuggles & the sun-soaked joy, I couldn’t peel my camera away from my face the entire evening. We started out wandering […]

It’s days like these that really light a fire in my soul. Getting to hang with these two stylish cool kids & explore a gorgeous location in the Appalachian foothills of Harpers Ferry was a total dream. Kristy & Matt are so wonderfully kind, thoughtful souls who have certainly found a great love in one […]

Before the early morning rays had touched the Smokey Mountains, Megan, Craig & I journeyed from Asheville through an hour & a half of winding gravel roads in the pitch dark. Aside from being slightly questionable as far as safety & sanity might’ve been concerned, the lack of sleep was worth the view of stars […]

Yeah that title just about sums all of this radness up. Rewinding a year & a half ago, I met Alexa & Kyle for an in-home session in their cozy Baltimore rowhome. We drank coffee, snuggled their adorable ragdoll Trippy (who I’m convinced is related to our ragdoll Keo), and dreamed of their future travels […]
