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.

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. I love to sit and chat for a bit before starting an engagement session with my couples because it gives everyone […]

On a quiet afternoon in Logan circle, I met up with high school sweethearts, Brittany and Ben for their engagement session at Le Diplomate. Light poured into the restaurant while the lunch crowd wrapped up their dates and the couple slipped into a corner table by the door.

While their wedding was out of state, Madeline and Griffin decided on an engagement session in Baltimore’s picturesque Mount Vernon neighborhood–where they first lived together. Mount Vernon and the area surrounding the Washington Monument and Peabody Library in particular is the perfect place for engagement photos, especially during golden hour–the hour before sunset. The way […]

Claire and Alex’s engagement session at Dumbarton House in Washington, DC during golden hour was so beautiful. Claire wore two dresses. First, an off the shoulder Cult Gaia dress that was a romantic look and a perfect engagement outfit option for their aesthetic. Dumbarton House has so many different areas to explore and we just […]

Dumbarton Oaks is one of the most beautiful backdrops in the DC area. Lush greenery and blooming florals even into the fall, and a gorgeous estate with a a pool behind it–I can’t think of a better backdrop to celebrate love. Andra, the bride, wore two stunning gowns. The first look was a sleek champagne […]

Jennie and Max’s engagement session at the Lincoln memorial in Washington, DC started right at sunrise just a few months ahead of their wedding at The Market at Grelen in Virginia. The pair’s chemistry was palpable. My favorite thing about photographing them together was seeing Jennie laugh at Max the entire time. Jennie wore an […]

Eric and Brandon’s engagement session was at the Baltimore Museum of Art at sunset in early summer. One of Eric’s special talent’s is sabering champagne bottles and the session was not over until that happened. Champagne in a museum parking lot sounds perfect to me. The light hit just right as Brandon and Eric hugged […]

Ahead of Kathryn and Tony’s wedding this spring in Virginia, I flew down to Atlanta for their engagement session. We started at Chateau Elan. Everyone is a little nervous at the start of a photoshoot, so, naturally a few glasses of wine for the couple helped. We ran through through the the vineyard before heading […]
