Her little smiles and coos were so sweet as we took these images. Enjoy!

Welcome to the World, Violet Grace
/Today I met the most gorgeous little angel ever. My best friend since middle school welcomed her first born, Violet Grace. Teeny tiny little Violet surprised everyone with her arrival into this world almost 3 weeks early at 2:13 am this morning. She weighed 6lb1oz and was 18" long. Her perfect little features are so beautiful and she kept making the sweetest little coos throughout my visit. I loved spending these first few hours with her as she experienced many firsts...her first feeding, her first snuggles, her first thumb suck, her first sneeze, and (most importantly) her first hair bow. All such special memories that I will cherish forever.
A Beautiful Wedding Day - Material Culture - Philadelphia ,PA
/Check out this absolutely gorgeous wedding that took place at Material Culture in Philadelphia, PA. This bride and groom chose such a wonderfully unique venue, which is filled with antiques and collectibles from around the world. Guests relaxed among the beautiful pieces of furniture, dined on tables from around the world, and danced under some of the most gorgeous chandeliers. Emily and Anthony enjoyed every single second of their day and brought the energy of the wedding day to a whole new level. I am so happy for the two of them and their bright future together! Enjoy
Welcome to the World Baby Daniel!
/Okay, I must admit...There is no better way to spend the day than with a beautiful family as they welcomed their newest little addition, Daniel. When I arrived at the hospital, little Daniel was just about 2 hours old. Being a part of his many "firsts" was such a special thing, and to be given the opportunity to capture these precious moments was even more amazing. Big brother and sister were over the moon to meet their new little brother. Big sister's first words to her mama were "Are you okay, Mommy?" ...melted my heart. Enjoy these images of this new family of five!

Newborn Session - Cainas Family
/This past week I had the amazing opportunity to work with this beautiful family as they adjust to their new life as a family of four.

Puppy Love - Engagement Session
/This weekend I had the amazing opportunity to capture newly engaged couple Cait & Dustin in the beautiful town of Ambler, Pennsylvania. Their two pups Corderoy & Claude were along for the ride and made for some exciting moments as we trekked across the snow covered fields of Prophecy Park. Last week, they found out that old boy Corderoy is sick, although you would never know it by watching this energetic pup. For now, Cait and Dustin are enjoying both of their boys and treasuring each and every day together. Enjoy!
Another Lovely Fall Wedding - Annandale, VA
/This weekend I had the amazing opportunity to photograph my dear friends, Brian & Corey's wedding day! Their beautiful ceremony took place on a gorgeous fall day in Annandale, Virginia and was attended by many close friends and family. This was such a very special day because same-sex marriages have just recently become legalized in Virginia. In fact, Brian & Corey were the first same-sex wedding to occur at their church in Northern Virginia. A commemorative quilt now hangs in the church lobby to celebrate this joyous occasion. The two have such a beautiful love for one another which was apparent to all who attended. They have both waited for such a long time for this day to come. So happy for them!!
A Beautiful Outdoor Wedding - Middleburg, Virginia
/
This weekend I traveled to the quaint little town of Middleburg, Virginia to photograph Nicki and Reid's Wedding Day. Nestled amongst the rolling hills and vineyards of the Virginia countryside, Nicki and Reid said I Do in a beautiful outdoor ceremony. These two didn't let a little rain spoil their day but instead celebrated nature throughout their ceremony which included planting a small sapling. Guests enjoyed the beautiful atmosphere created by the couple's hand made origami centerpieces spread throughout the reception venue. A brick oven was brought in to cook up delicious pizzas for guests to enjoy.

Old Town Alexandria Scottish Parade
/Every year our family looks forward to the annual Scottish Walk Parade in our little town of Old Town Alexandria.
