A few days after Thanksgiving Elisabeth and Scotty ventured out to Glengray tree farm to pick out and cut down their Christmas tree. After walking around the tree farm for about 45 minutes, Elisabeth had finally found the perfect tree for their house this year.  So, Scotty started the process of cutting it down. About half […]

One of my girlfriends got engaged and the first thing she said after the obligatory “OMG, we’re engaged!!!” selfie had been posted was, “I need to get on Pinterest and start planning the wedding!”  My friend is definitely not alone. Pinterest has been both a blessing and a curse for modern day brides. The site […]

Kelsey and Chase’s rustic engagement photography session at Great Falls Park (on the Maryland side) was so much fun! It was like we were good friends just strolling along the canals having a great time.  Both of these two are very relaxed in front of the camera and I can’t wait for their wedding next […]

After you get married, but before you have children there are not a whole lot of reasons to have your photos taken, just the two of you and that’s such a shame. […]

It was so cold the day that we shot Jamie and Glenn’s engagement session. Let me revise that.  It was moderately cold when I showed up to Barrel Oak Winery.  As soon as Jamie and Glenn pulled up the winds kicked up to about 20 mph and the tempuratures dropped 10 degrees. Luckily, the cold […]
