missy + mark: engaged!

puppy makes three.

missy + mark are getting married! woohoo! this fabulous couple is tying the knot this summer and i can’t wait! i had a great time with them this week shooting their engagement session – especially because i got to meet sammie! i *love* including pets in sessions – sammie is definitely an important part of missy + mark’s life and she was so fun. we explored their historic neighborhood, strolled through arlington, and even managed to survive a crazy 5-minute hail storm! the weather turned wicked windy and chilly – a stark contrast to our warm spring days of late. regardless, we got some great images and i am so looking forward to their awesome wedding!

thanks for braving the elements with me missy + mark – i had a blast!!

enjoy!

sammie is a diva and i love her.

anna + dave: engaged!

crossing party lines.

anna + dave are engaged! dave *just* proposed two weeks ago along the blooming tidal basin and this couple is absolutely radiant! after surprising her with a spectacular proposal he also surprised her with an engagement session! i was so excited to meet them – their excitement and love was amazing! we met at sunrise in front of the jefferson memorial and took a quick stroll along the tidal basin before ditching the impending crowds! anna + dave love their neighborhood so we explored the colorful streets of capitol hill after a brief stop at the picturesque senate park.

my absolute favorite part of the day was anna+ dave’s brief dance party in front of the american legion – apparently the AL is off the chain! after seeing their sweet moves i’m convinced that anna + dave pretty much rock. when they weren’t dancing, laughing, are being ridiculously cute they were always looking at each other with so much love + admiration – dave never took his eyes off anna. they make a fantastic couple – complimenting each other in so many ways, not to mention political beliefs…once again a couple proves that bi-partisanship is possible! and republicans truly do love democrats! woohoo!

anna + dave: i am truly thrilled for you and know your life will be absolutely amazing together – thank you for allowing me to document your love. CONGRATS!!

brittany + jack: engaged!

all you need is love.

brittany + jack are engaged! this fall they are getting married at home in texas and really wanted their engagement photos to capture their life here in the district. we had an amazing session last week – trekking from the tidal basin to chinatown and getting the most incredible shots along the way! i absolutely loved meeting this dynamic couple – they are full of energy, incredibly fun, very silly, and totally in love. britt + jack were up for absolutely anything – from maneuvering through the wild cherry blossom crowds, to showing off their hot dance moves, and even stopping in the middle of the street for a passionate kiss!

i couldn’t be more excited for brittany + jack and i wish them all the luck + happiness in the world!

enjoy!

GO TEXAS!

jeni + swen: engaged!

going the distance.

jeni + swen are getting married…very soon! they are tying the knot at the woodend sanctuary in just a few weeks and what better way to celebrate than with a fabulous engagement session in dc!

their amazing friend maggie surprised them with the session and what a perfect gift…swen lives in brooklyn and jeni is based in dc, so we coordinated everyone’s schedules and even managed to take advantage of the blooming cherry blossoms. jeni + swen have traveled all over the world and have experienced amazing cultures together – it was so interesting to chat with them! i also learned that soon after they are married they will likely find themselves in a new distant country. i know that they will no matter where jeni + swen are living, they will always be learning, laughing, and loving each other wherever they may be.

enjoy!

jennifer tress: headshots!

hello chinatown!

jennifer tress is fabulous.

and while there are many other words that describe jen – funny, sassy, talented, expressive, gorgeous, smart – the first word that comes to mind is always fabulous. i was so thrilled when she asked me to do a session for her to commemorate the work of her first book. she forwarded me the first few chapters and i *love* it – funny, poignant memoirs that made me laugh out loud and totally fall in love with her. as a result, our session was nothing short of absolutely fabulous and incredibly fun. we hit the streets of chinatown for a spontaneous lifestyle-type headshot session and got the most amazing images! and since jen is *fabulous* the shots are so fun, so full of her expressive personality, and even include a few strangers who wanted some camera time with this soon to be *very famous* author. stay tuned for info on her forthcoming collection of short stories! enjoy!
