Did you know that International Museum Day is this weekend? That’s right, it’s May 18th. As a former history major, you know I love that holiday. We will be away this weekend camping, but I got a chance to visit a couple museums today with our friends Stephen and Kate who are visiting DC from Portland. The Smithsonian museums are one of my favorite things about Washington, DC. They’re great …
The Washington Monument reopened yesterday after being closed for a few years for repairs from the 2011 earthquake. We are so happy to see the scaffolding gone and the DC skyline back to its usual glory. (I kind of miss how the scaffolding lit up at night though- I’ll be honest) Our friend Jordan stood in line for us yesterday morning to get tickets to ride to the top of …
I spent some time with these lovely ladies at a bridal shower earlier this year. I love taking photos at smaller, intimate events. These ladies were all so sweet and really celebrated the bride in such loving way. Ellen was married last month in Hawaii (doesn’t that sound amazing?) and I couldn’t be happier for her. Aren’t all of these shower details adorable?
A few days ago, Erica posted about our morning at the Tidal Basin looking at the cherry blossom trees in full bloom. While Erica snapped away, I shot some video clips on my iPhone 5s and gave the slow motion feature a whirl. It’s amazing what you can capture with a device you carry in your pocket, and I often forget I have these tools on me at all times. …
Dave and I went for a long walk through the cherry blossoms this morning before work. We did this last year during peak bloom and enjoyed it so much we decided to make it a tradition. The cherry blossoms really do live up to all of hype – the pink trees truly are breathtaking. We walked through the National Mall at golden hour and sipped coffee as we strolled through …
Spring is finally beginning to make an appearance here in Washington, DC. I am so looking forward to more sunshine and cannot wait for the trees to get green again. In order to continue to build all of our excitement for spring I decided to post some Street Style photos that I took last May with Sarah of Fashion & Philosophers. Fashion & Philosophers is a fashion and culture blog based …
We have been so blessed with an incredible group of friends here in DC. When we moved here almost three years ago we were overwhelmed with the idea of ‘starting over’. I had moved to new states quite a few times over the ten years prior to living in DC so I knew that making friends, getting plugged into community, and finding your way around a new city takes a …
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!
Work & Faith is a National Community Church gathering of professionals on Capitol Hill who meet once a month to dialog about faith in the workplace. Our good friend Susan leads the group and does an amazing job! Erica and I have become regular attenders and always enjoy the early morning coffee, bagels, and conversation. We’d definitely recommend it for anyone in the DC area looking for a good networking …
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 …
