Baby Callyn

Lauren is a friend from High School and we’ve kept in touch over the years as we have made videos for her company, Potomac River Running!

She and her husband Sean just welcomed their baby girl into the world and it was one of the most effortless newborn sessions I’ve had. Somehow there was ZERO crying at any point, and their dog Abby posed perfectly for every shot! Very rare.

I told Lauren they should rent out their perfectly light & airy farmhouse to other photographers to use as a studio. It was a dream to photograph in and presented zero issues with lighting.

Congratulations to this sweet family in their next phase of life.

Adoption Profile Book

Well this was a unique request! When Olivia and Tony reached out and explained they needed help creating their adoption profile book, we were thrilled. What an important and exciting time in their lives, and it felt so great to help them prepare. The shoot lasted about 3 hours because we wanted to be thorough with all of the photo options that they will then send off to their book designer! Olivia and Tony did a great job planning out the activities and the locations for the shoot that would represent their life in an authentic way. My favorite part of the shoot was at the local movie theater where they had a custom sign made JUST for them and the shoot!!

We wish them the best of luck in their adoption journey.

Cake Smash

Is your baby turning one? I am HERE for the cake smash! It’s always a good time. Pro-tip: schedule these before the actual birthday so that you have all the adorable photos to share to the world by their real birthday.

Ida Lee Engagment Session

Patrick and Ari were a bundle of joy on Friday. It was a little hot out but sticking to shady spots is what photographers love anyways! We are looking forward to their November wedding this year.

July Wedding at Woodend Sanctuary

We'll be honest - this past Sunday was one of THE muggiest weddings but everyone survived, thrived, and we love that you can't tell how much everyone was sweating in the photos lol. All worth the photos with the beautiful outdoor setting that Woodend offers. Congratulations to Ally and Zack!!

Maternity Session

Loved seeing our past wedding clients (2018) in their new chapter of life! Rula and Abdul will be welcoming a baby girl in September.

Manassas Battlefield Engagement

This is always one of our go-to portrait session locations. The open fields are perfect for photos. Katie and Brad were simply effortless to work with and I had a great time getting to know them a little until their big day in one year!

Garden Engagement

Alycia and Luke are getting married next February so they wanted a vibrant, lush backdrop for the engagement session at least! I think this was the perfect spot.

Family Sessions Galore

The past couple weeks have been FULL of precious family and newborn sessions! ‘Tis the season. I loved capturing these moments in time for these families (most of which are regular clients).

The Luck of the Irish

There is no doubt that Maura and Nathan had a rainbow come out just for them at yesterday’s wedding. During our few minutes of post-storm sunset portraits, Maura pointed over our shoulders and squealed with delight: “RAINBOW!”. I truly think it was a congratulatory visit from Nathan’s parents, and a nod to Maura’s Irish heritage.

Engagement session at Morven Park

Rachel, Blake, and DUKE! What a sweet dog. We all had such a great time walking around Morven Park in Leesburg on a perfect evening last week. Rachel and Blake are getting married in Bluemont later this year and we are looking forward to doing Photo + Video for their big day.

Rainy May Wedding

Let’s be honest, Saturday’s weather was brutal! It was frigid, very windy, and rain spat down every minute we were there. But we always tell our brides not to worry too much - because look how magical the photos still turn out! And we love a good excuse to break out the adorable clear umbrellas. This was our first time finally working at The Barn at Willowbrook and it did not disappoint! It’s a family-owned and operated venue in Loudoun county’s wine country and it was perfect in every way. Congratulations to this amazing couple - Sydney and Andrew. The rain didn’t dampen their spirits one bit, and we loved working with them!!

Spring Wedding at Raspberry Plain

We’ve been working with Ginny & Pete since 2019, thanks to Covid! After multiple postponements over the course of two years, they finally got to celebrate with their friends and family this weekend and it was epic from start to finish. The weather was perfect, tears were shed, and everyone danced the night away. We had such a great time!

Spring Engagement Session

I had a great time with Katie and Mark last week at Eleanor Lawrence Park. We rescheduled the original shoot due to cold and rain and I’m so glad we did! The backup date turned out to be such perfect weather and lighting. They were effortless to work with and we’re looking forward to their big day one year from now at Raspberry Plain Manor!

The Start of the 2022 Wedding Season

Erin and Dan kicked off our 2022 wedding season perfectly. Just one month after having our baby, we are back at it, and thankfully these two made this transition SO easy and fun. It was a little chilly but the rain held off and Meadowlark had some stunning blossoms all around!

Our Own Baby!

We are so happy to announce the birth of our sweet Charlie Joseph Corey. He was born last week, March 13 2022 and we are happy, healthy, and so blessed.

Baby Scarlet

I had a great time catching up with our friends and meeting their new baby girl! I’m a huge dog person, especially shepherds, hence why so many of these photos feature their two dogs. They had a very sweet, protective interest in this little one.

2021 Recap Video

2021 was a crazy busy year! It was so fun going through a small percentage of the weddings our company did last year and creating this. We witnessed so many special moments. Cheers to many more great weddings in 2022.

Snowy Maternity Session

Happy new year, everyone! We have started the year off with several great shoots already, including this incredibly frigid but magical maternity session in Old Town. It’s been quite a “wintery” winter, with lots of cold and precipitation. So we bumped the shoot earlier in the day to avoid too much snow, and the timing was perfect. We got dreamy snowflakes in many of the photos while still being able to safely drive home. Marissa and Michael are a 2021 wedding couple of ours and she is also due in March like me! I loved her white dress for the winter shoot.

Korean Wedding

Susie and Jimmy have been amazing to work with! We loved their Korean wedding yesterday and all the traditions that came with it. It was held on a perfect, crisp Fall day with 60 guests at one of our go-to venues: Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. It’s hard to believe our 2021 wedding season is winding down!
