I met Colleen and Jonathan in Old Town for their engagement shoot last Saturday. It’s amazing how many couples tell me they don’t have any (or any good) pictures of themselves. I’m always happy to help them remedy that situation! An engagement is the perfect excuse for some casual portraits to capture the relationship.
I had a great time with Colleen and Jonathan as we made the most of the beautiful day and beautiful scenery in Old Town. The Starbucks is one place they frequent so we had to include it! 
In 1987, I took these two pictures one summer evening at the lake and was forever captivated by portrait photography. Even though I already knew I enjoyed photography, I do credit Katherine with being the inspiration behind my photography career, all those years ago. (That’s 20 years – wow. OK, now I feel old! 🙂 For the record, I was barely 13.)
Wasn’t she adorable?? She’s clearly a natural in front of the camera.
Katherine’s gone from adorable to gorgeous, and will always be one of my favorite people to photograph. These are from last weekend at the National Cathedral. She finally made it up from Florida to visit!
Grant is adorable, as you can see, and such an agreeable boy! He’s 16 months old and belongs to my good friends Sara and Chris. They were in Jacksonville while I was last weekend and it was such a treat to see Sara and Grant 4 days in a row.
I’m always on the lookout for good backdrops and great light, but honestly, it doesn’t get any better than this. I think the background is wonderful and while Grant’s in the shade, we had the sun reflecting off the side of a white car just a few feet from him. It’s not often you find perfect light at 1 o’clock in the afternoon!
