This high school graduation party designed by Francie of Lauryn Prattes Styling and Events was inspired by the tropical comfort and joys of Tulum, Mexico.

Naomi and Christian’s engagement session was held in my Baltimore studio. The couple is no stranger to the camera, and I first met them during an editorial shoot at Assateague Island in Delaware. Since then, I’ve also worked with them for a commercial shoot…because they’re models. Each time I have them in front of my camera, it’s just a fun time, and it feels like photographing old friends at this point.

Ashley and Travis got engaged and moved to London a month later. They decided to give themselves two years to plan their dream wedding from across the Atlantic. The result was an elegant evening at the Anderson House in Washington, D.C., the bride’s hometown. The wedding was filled with personal touches, late-night disco, and the perfect shoes.

Then, later in the day, the couple hosted a relaxed backyard “block party”-inspired wedding for a larger group of friends complete with champagne, friend chicken and a drag show.

Right before the pandemic started, I put an addition on my house–an in house photography studio with…drum roll…floor to ceiling windows and a skylight. I rarely have impeccable timing, but this one was a major win. Not only did I appreciate an extra work space that I could walk in and shut out an already shut out world, it became a place to reclaim creativity and eventually reconnect with others. 

Mitchell and Alexis, high school sweethearts actually got engaged in a museum, so it felt very right to have their engagement session at a museum too. I met them at the National Gallery of Art Museum in Washington, DC, right next to The Mall.

Alex and Connor’s engagement summer session at Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyard started out with a few…maybe more than a few…glasses of wine and some incredible bites before roaming the grounds for some photos.
