michael mary + stephen: engaged!

cask ales, frat houses, and lucky river horses.

michael mary + stephen are back on the blog! woo! last december we commemorated their engagement with a save-the-date mini-session and just a few weeks ago we got together again for a full engagement session – visiting churchkey (where stephen works + where they got engaged!) and the GW university campus where they fell in love. it was great seeing them again, catching up, and even chatting about stephen’s cousin ashley’s upcoming wedding (i love this family!!) – too much fun!

this was actually my first time on campus and GW was a fantastic place to shoot! we canvased the grounds, passing through the main square, stopping by stephen’s frat house, and of course visited the iconic river horse (hippo!) for some fun photos with the lucky mascot. michael mary + stephen — you are a delight, and your love truly shines — i hope to photograph you many more times!

enjoy!

baby michael: newbie!

so happy together.

michael’s newborn lifestyle session.

baby michael has arrived!

i first met laura at her sister lindsey’s wedding in late 2008, and i was *thrilled* to hear from her a few months ago and find out that she was expecting her first baby! meeting baby michael was fantastic and i loved the opportunity to spend time with her new family – including both of michael’s grandmas! everyone was so excited to be around this little baby – and at just two weeks old he is already so incredibly loved.

welcome little micheal – and enjoy!

jennifer + andrew: engaged!

fear love the turtle.

jennifer + andrew are engaged!

these proud university of maryland grads met and fell in love in college and decided it would be a great place for their engagement session! indeed it was *fantastic* – it was my first shoot at a university and it was brilliant! UMD is gorgeous – the architecture and grounds are stunning and we found the most amazing magnolia tree ever – with blooms literally dripping from the low-hanging branches it was perfection!

jenn + andrew had a wonderfully romantic energy and i think the images really reflect that…their one request was that we incorporate testudo, the famed terrapin, and i love the first shot (below) of them kissing over top of the statue (totally jenn’s idea!) i’m so glad i got to meet this couple and wish them all the best! congrats to jenn + andrew!

enjoy!

this amazing couple is young, in love, and incredibly ambitious! they are both currently in the naval academy, met on the sailing team, and are clearly head over heels for each other. jason’s quiet+cool vibe is a perfect compliment to susannah’s vibrant and shining personality – i simply loved them! they are planning a summer wedding for next year (after they both graduate) and plan on traveling around the globe – jason on a navy boat and susannah with the marine corps! i was beyond impressed with their passion for life, each other, and the world – cheers to susannah + jason!
