Occasionally, I find myself in a pinch me moment. And sometimes I have an internal struggle about saying it out loud, or broadcasting it across the internet, but I'm really trying hard to remember to celebrate the wins, because one of my truths is making a point to cherish the things - big or small - that bring about joy. Having this color wheel inspired wedding photo shoot featured[...]
I love people who dream big. Like Zach, and Emily. Who live in Philadelphia where they are building a whiskey distillery. Yep. This Philadelphia whiskey distillery engagement session took place in their whiskey distillery, among toasted wooden barrels and steel cylindrical containers in a red brick building on the north side of the city. This is the whiskey distillery that Zach is bui[...]
In the way that sunset over an ocean is celebrated on the the left coast, so it would seem we should also greet the sun in the morning here in the east. But being a lover of sleep, I never thought I would be excited to see a sunrise, although this Baltimore sunrise engagement is so quickly changing my mind. The gloriousness of summer sunrises lie in the one thing that makes them almos[...]
For a day, I got to know what it's like to be a part of Kayla and Justin's family, at their Tabrizi's Baltimore wedding. It was glorious. Whether you are related by blood or tied to them by friendship, it doesn't matter - if either one of these two calls you dear to their heart, you are family. And they will treat you like gold. Having a peephole to the intimate and beautiful relatio[...]
When Dennis proposed to Lauren, he did it by the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean, on a sand dune at sunset. Which is why it made perfect sense to have their Annapolis outdoor wedding on the water in a place that celebrates and reminds them of the beginning of their wedding story. Every moment of their day was heartfelt, filled with so much love from their family and friends, and lots[...]
Engagement sessions that feel personal are always my favorite...which is why I was so excited upon meeting with Jess and Eric and one of the first things they told me was that they wanted to do their Baltimore engagement session at home. At that moment, I knew for certain I was going to love them and being a part of their love story. And trust me when I say that spending an hour at sun[...]
Back in February, we almost bought a house. It was a charming retro split-level fixer-upper, with so much potential. But it wasn't to be. And then, a week later, I went to Palm Springs and spent a morning biking around some of the neighborhoods, where every house was my dream house. Modern houses in Palm Springs are abundant. In Annapolis, not so much. For years, we've talked about w[...]
Any love story that includes a furry family member is my favorite. Caroline and Michael are as sweet as can be - and their Annapolis garden wedding could not have been more lovely. They have the best group of friends and family, who filled their day with so much wonderful emotion...and the way the two of them held hands and kissed and hugged and looked at each other, well, it made telling the s[...]
If my soul has a place, it's named Palm Springs. So much color. So much modern. So much fun. Before the adventure that was Field Trip, I took a little detour on my way from San Diego to Santa Barbara and headed past the mountains and into an oasis. For this East Coast girl who associates palm trees with the ocean and the tropics, vistas of palms silhouetted against mountains wa[...]
At some point in my early 20's, I probably imagined I'd have it all figured out by the time I reached the end of them. And as it gets down to the wire on crossing into another decade, I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen. But I'm also pretty sure I don't want it to. I love this age of freedom, of figuring out adulthood, life, love, making and fixing mistakes, of learning about my[...]
