Frederick, Maryland Wedding photographer // Holly Hills Wedding The highest honor is to photograph the wedding of a lifelong friend. Catherine and I go all the way back to elementary school, where I'm almost positive we played wedding and house and school and both wanted to be the bride and the wife and the teacher in each situation. Thankfully, that didn't stop us from being[...]
This little man...he has stolen my heart. Turning one is absolutely worth a magnificent celebration. I think that's the best part of being a photographer - the celebrations. I love, love, love they ways we make them personal, the way we impart pieces of ourselves into the joyful things in life. Because Braxton's first birthday party had a nautical theme, we did Annapolis family portr[...]
"The genius is really in curating things from the past and reviving them in the present" - Johanna Blakley I was listening to the TED Radio Hour on my run this week, and those words by Johanna Blakley just struck me. In context, she was speaking about fashion and the ability of designers to bring back classics that feel relevant and fresh today, mixing them with current trends[...]
My life’s journey is to be a photographer for people who love to create, to explore the world, to take adventures. Carrie and Joe, they are truly adventurers. Case in point: Joe didn't pick just any spot to propose to Carrie. He didn't stop on one of their evening walks or take her to dinner. Instead, he took her to Colorado for an incredible Thanksgiving snowboarding trip.[...]
Oh summer. On one hand, I'm so happy to be in the midst of busy season, although I'm sorry it means less action over here on the blog, although there are lots more lovely weddings for your viewing pleasure! Contrary to how I felt working in retail, I love working every weekend now that it's pretty much always a gorgeous party - that, and adventuring with Dani is never dull. Being a[...]
I love, love, love the thought and creativity, and the sheer amount of love, that Christine and Jesse and their families poured into their Elk Run Vineyard wedding. Every flower was lovingly arranged by the hands of Christine and her family. The wedding bands were crafted by Jesse's dad. Christine's shoes were painted by of one of her very best friends. Their wedding meal, a crawfish[...]
You guys!! I'm not going to lie, I let out a little scream of excitement this morning as I was leaving the gym, when Amy texted me to let me know our piñata wedding inspiration styled shoot was up on Capitol Romance today! I've been dying to share it with you! This Piñata inspired wedding photo shoot has been living in my head for almost a year, and I'm so thrilled to see it come to l[...]
The last time I photographed a Musket Ridge wedding was for my sister. It will always have a special place in my heart because it's where I started dreaming of working with weddings. Needless to say, I was so excited when Dani said we would be photographing a wedding there. But I was also really excited to play with my new free-lensing lens. Free-lensing is when you float a le[...]
The more I get to know other photographers, the more grateful it makes me to be a part of a creative community. It's so funny how you hear about other people, you see them post on Facebook and you have tons of the same friends, but yet it takes awhile to get around to meeting in person. There's an anticipation that builds up around actually seeing each other face to face...and [...]
Four new prints have made their way into the cheerful print shop! And some other new things have happened too... But first the prints! I fully intended to add these to the shop in May, because in my mind, new prints once a month is the goal. But in reality, lots of other things have been happening behind the scenes as well. So I'm super excited to finally have these new piece[...]
