mary + peter: anniversary!

the good life.

mary + peter just celebrated their one year wedding anniversary! what better way to commemorate a year of marriage than with a fabulous anniversary session! (well, that AND a trip to las vegas!) last weekend we strolled through logan circle (their old neighborhood and mine) and i got to catch up with one of my favorite couples ever. mary + peter are super cute together – simply a perfect match. married life is treating them great and they recently expanded their family with a puppy! it’s hard to believe it was just a year ago that i documented their thai buddhist blessing ceremony, on a brisk sunday morning following their catholic wedding. they were glowing in spite of the chilly fall morning, surrounded by their family + friends and wrapped in the love and traditions of their unique celebration. it was a spectacular day, and one i think of often because of the wonderful rituals, loving families, and the beauty and serenity of the wat yarnna rangsee buddhist monastery

fast forward one year later, to a very regular sunday afternoon where i once again saw that magic and connection, and was witness to love in full bloom. i couldn’t be happier for these newlyweds and am honored to be able to continue to document their love + life together. they make each other so happy, and i felt happier just being around them. 

to mary + peter: hooray!

enjoy.

riley: lifestyle session.

a fall afternoon at the farm.

i had the best time with my new friend riley last week at north run farm in stevenson, maryland! he was so full of energy and very eager to explore the farm – complete with pigs, chickens, cows + goats, as well as pumpkins + gourds, tires and such to climb on, and of course a massive corn maze! he was off and running, and so cute! i even got a few photos with his fabulous mom tara – that is, when we could convince him to stay still for a minute!

enjoy the action of an active afternoon with riley!!

jillian + kyle: married!

ladies + gentleman we are floating in space.

jillian + kyle had an absolutely perfect wedding last weekend at willow. the theme was fabulous cocktail party meets intimate wedding ceremony with good wine, good food, and really good music. their closest family + friends were greeted with glasses of champagne and invited to mingle on the patio and enjoy the warm fall afternoon. just after 6pm everyone gathered inside the restaurant to watch as jillian + kyle entered through the front doors and made their way down the aisle together. a brief and beautiful ceremony pronounced them husband + wife, cocktails + dinner followed, good conversation + great dancing took place, and everyone had a wonderful time.

jillian + kyle: thank you for inviting me to be a part of your perfect day – you are a such lovely couple and i’m so glad i was a part of your wedding!

enjoy!

brownie meeting: travel right!

the blonde photographer meets the brownies.

i was so excited to attend my very first brownie meeting this week! one of my wonderful clients and friends melinda leads a local brownie troop and asked me to come speak to the girls as they prepare to earn the travel right badge and plan for their upcoming camping trip!

i had a great time at the meeting and i loved their enthusiasm and interest in photography and all of their many questions! we talked about traveling and the importance of keeping a journal and taking photos as a means to tell a story. some of the girls brought cameras with them and i showed them a few tricks ;)

i’m so happy melinda asked me to come and so thankful that she snapped this *great* shot of me with the girls!

enjoy!
