Dave and I are huge fans of adoption. We see the act of taking a child into your family as your own as such a beautiful picture of our faith, and we love celebrating with adoptive families. We have so much enjoyed walking through the adoption process with our dear friends the Yost family. We have had a front row seat to the up’s and down’s of their adoption process …
This adorable little girl turned one this month and, of course, to celebrate we took some adorable photos. My favorite images of her are from her ‘pre-photo’ bath because, well, they make me smile. I loved capturing her bath time because it is a huge part of her family’s life right now – but it won’t always be. I hope her mom looks back at these photos some day when …
Happy St. Patrick’s Day all! I love this holiday for many reasons – celebrating the incredible life of St. Patrick, commemorating my ancestors who came to the States from Donegal, Ireland during the Potato Famine, and also remembering our wonderful semester abroad in Ireland. Dave and I look back on our semester so fondly. We had such a great group of people living with us during the program and we …
A few weeks ago I had the privilege of spending the morning with this lovely family. Their beautiful baby girl recently joined their family and you can see from these photos how in love with her they are! I enjoyed capturing the love in their home. I hope they look back at these photos when she is older and instantly taken back to special time as new parents. These photographs …
After weeks of snow storms and incredibly low temperatures on the East Coast, last weekend’s beautiful, sunny skies were like a breath of fresh air. I am so glad I got to spend the weekend of sunshine in New York City – and I am especially glad I got to spend one morning with Jason and Emily shooting their engagement session. This session was extra special for me because Jason …

Last week I had the privilege of shooting photos for NCC’s Her Voice event. It was a great night of worship spent with a theater full of wonderful women of faith. Here are a few glimpses of our evening. Can’t wait until the next one!
Last month I worked on a photography project for the fabulous Bittersweet Creative for a magazine they designed. The photos above and below are part of a collection that were taken for the project. The following two photos are of the finished magazine. They always do such great work and, of course, I always love seeing my photos come to life in print.
I spent some time this weekend with the lovely Joe and Jeanyne over in Eastern Market for their engagement session. They are an adorable couple who met while working in Guatemala. How cool is that? It was 25 degrees the morning of our session but I am pretty sure the wind chill made feel significantly colder. They were such troopers as we took photos without coats on though! We started …
This summer I photographed the DC Youth Orchestra Program for Bittersweet Zine and was delighted when DCYOP hired me to take some additional portraits of their students for their brochures and marketing materials. I spent a few hours with them during their classes and rehearsals and so enjoyed getting to know their wonderful faculty and students. I was also impressed at how beautiful they sounded playing Christmas music – and at such young …
We had a great time this Christmas season. Dave and I spent a week in Charleston, SC over Christmas and spent time with my family. We hadn’t been all together since last Christmas so it was good to be together. I didn’t take too many photos of our week, but we did manage to take some nice family portraits in their sunny neighborhood. Have I mentioned how much I love …
