Paul & Kalyani are Engaged! | Alexandria, VA Wedding Photographer

Paul, Kalyani and I met in Old Town Alexandria to do their engagement session last Friday, which was a very crazy weather day! But, we somehow lucked out with this great little pocket of time when the rain held off and somehow the ground in Old Town was dry! So, it was meant to be that we do our session that night! Both of them are tall and gorgeous so once again, my job was very easy! Paul is a personal trainer and personalized the session a bit by bringing some props for us to have some fun with! And Kaylani is an event planner so she brought some great details as well! Can’t wait to see what details they add to the wedding day! So, enjoy getting to know this great couple and get ready for to see more in August!

Here’s the backstory | Washington DC Family Photographer

Almost 7 years ago when I was pregnant with my oldest, Haley, and working on Captiol Hill, I decided I needed a less stressful job while I figured out what my next step would be (which ended up being photography)! So, I spent several fun filled months working at Arhuas Furniture as a design consultant! By the way, if you have never been there they have amazing stuff! Still completely sold on their furniture! Anyway, I had an amazing boss and really had a great time working there and shopping for other people! There aren’t many things more fun than spending other people’s money!:-)She was so good to me and so nice, as I was hugely pregnant and waddling around the store like a ticking time bomb! At that time pregnancy kind of freaked her out. Well, 6 years later, she’s married a great guy and has 2 adorable kiddos of her own and we got back in touch thanks to….. yep, Facebook! We’ve gotten together to catch up and she recently asked me to come out to their amazing house on the water near Annapolis to take pictures of her kids. So, earlier this week Harper, Finley and I made the trek up for a playdate & some pictures. The kids are pretty close together and are pretty much the same size so it seems like they could be twins but brother P is the oldest and sister J is the youngest. It was so, enjoy your sneak preview C family! So good to see you again!

Ryan & Kristin: Engaged! | Alexandria, VA Wedding Photographer

Ryan & Kristin are both on their way to being full fledged doctors, so being both in school and planning a wedding they are crazy busy! But, lucky for me, they made it up for our last minute engagement session at Green Springs Gardens! After their session I am even more excited about their upcoming May wedding! It’s hard to take a bad picture of these two! If the medicine thing doesn’t work out, you guys have a backup career as models!:-)Enjoy your sneak preview!

The ‘R’ Family & their newest addition! | Old Town Alexandria Family Photographer

I tell ya, potty training and having a newborn can really eat up your day! It’s pretty tricky to get anything else done! This family has been so patiently awaiting their sneak preview. I photographed ‘O’ when he was 6 months old and I was excited to hear they were adding another little guy to their family! It was a pretty chilly morning in Old Town last Saturday considering how warm it’s been but they were great sports. The boys look so different from one another, which I think is really fun (seeing that all 3 of my girls look completely different)! ‘O’ looks just like dad and ‘C’ looks just like mom! They each have their own little mini me! Both happy, sweet boys. So, enjoy your preview R family!
