Washington DC Family Photographer – Hadley and Harper

I’ve been photographing Hadley and Harper since they were born and it was so much fun to catch up with them for this year’s family portrait on a warm fall day in Georgetown.  Don’t let Harpers sweet smile fool you, for only being three she’s full of personality.  I’m sure she keeps everyone entertained everywhere she goes!  Hadley is a big kindergardener this year and quite the little lady.

Vienna Family Photographer – Nate and Trent

Photographing boys is always an adventure!  You want the first picture, but usually end up with the second! 🙂  It’s been so much fun to watch these brothers grow into best buddies as I’ve photographed them every year of their lives.  Such sweet, fun faces.

Old Town Alexandria Engagement Photographer – Lindsay and Chris

What a gorgeous fall day for Lindsay and Chris’s engagement photos in Old Town Alexandria!  I’ve known and loved Lindsay’s family since photographing her triplet sister’s wedding in 2008 (also my introduction to River Farm) and am thrilled to have the privilege of getting to know and work with Lindsay and Chris now! I can’t wait for their reception at my favorite DC venue, the Meridian House.  I know it will be an amazing day!

We started with a little family photo first.

River Farm Wedding Photographer – Congratulations Liane and Sean!

Liane and Sean were blessed with a warm October Friday for their wedding celebration.  Following the ceremony at their church in Arlington, VA, the reception was at my favorite garden venue, River Farm in Alexandria, VA.  The flowers and grasses in the meadow, as well as around the rest of the property, were blooming and beautiful.  And the sunset was spectacular as was the full moon rising over the Potomac river.  A perfect day for a wonderful couple!  Congratulations Liane and Sean!

Liane made these chocolates for the favors – yum!  I’m so inspired, I may have to take up chocolate making as my next baking challenge.
