december baby.

welcome to the world little logan!
logan is the tiniest, newest person i’ve ever met, weighing in at just over 7lbs and 12 days old!
i loved just looking at him, he was unbelievably tiny and perfect – reaching and yawning and cooing and crying and snuggling up on his parents. even more exciting, logan is part of my new extended family – he is my sister’s nephew, her husband’s brother’s baby! kind of like my nephew-in-law…woohoo!
enjoy!

saturday morning fun.

i was beyond thrilled to spend more time with one of my new favorite families this past saturday morning – a perfect start to the weekend! you will recognize these adorable children from my recent post just a few days ago, angelina: an adoption story. in addition to documenting the adoption proceedings on wednesday, we made plans to do a lifestyle portrait session – my favorite! i definitely think families are best photographed in their own home, so i spent the morning capturing all sorts of fun + craziness as the kids (and their parents!) played, danced, tickled, jumped, and even braved the cold to run around outside! angelina has the most amazing, exhilarating laugh and the boys are just a riot. as i expected, there were tons of smiles + great amounts of laughter from everyone. megghan + wes are simply awesome parents, and the kids are amazing! love!
enjoy!

little peanut.

hello baby ashton!
just 7 weeks old, ashton is a tiny, happy little baby with the biggest bluest eyes – love! he was full of personality – from his big wide smiles to sweet little yawns i had a great time capturing all of his expressions. my absolute favorite part of the session was photographing ashton in his beautiful basket bassinet – a family heirloom that his parents brought down from new england when he was born. gorgeous!
enjoy!
















a dc love story.

things michael mary + stephen love: living in dc, the jefferson memorial, cairn terriers, and each other.
still reeling from their recent engagement (just a few weeks ago!) this lovely young couple simply oozed love during our session! they were all smiles + laughter, sneaking the cutest glances at each other the entire time. they both hail from nearby hometowns in new jersey, but it wasn’t until moving to dc for school that they actually met…how crazy is that? some things are definitely meant to be :)
i was really excited to meet michael mary + stephen – this was just a mini-session to celebrate their engagement + shoot save-the-dates + holiday cards, and they are planning to do another session in the spring! so fun! and since i think it’s great when people include their beloved pets, i loved that they brought their adorable puppy sam along with them for a few photographs! so cute!
enjoy!

sun flare + bourbon.

erin + pepijn are engaged!
two weeks ago i met up with this great couple for an engagement session in dc – we started at meridian hill park and made our way to adams morgan along u street. we totally lucked out snagging one of the last warm fall afternoons of the year – it was perfect! erin + pepijn were super cute + excited, and i had a great time! i absolutely love the way they looked at each other, and feel very lucky that i was able to meet them and document their sweet love!
enjoy!
