Before Emily & Max’s sunrise engagement session at the Lincoln Memorial and DC War Memorial, they warned me that they would need quite a bit of coaching to look natural in front of the camera. I assured them not to worry; I work with a variety of clients — many who have never been professionally […]

It was such a joy to capture Alex’s maternity session with her husband, Dan, at Airlie Center in Warrenton, VA. These two are expecting a little boy early next year and wanted to document this milestone before his arrival! But that’s not the only thing these two have in store for the coming months; they […]

From our initial meeting, it was hard not to love Maggie and Andy. Both have infectiously charming personalities and we shared a love for three of my favorites things — dogs, travel, and hiking! We’ve visited so many of the same destinations over the years and our bucket lists are eerily similar. But that’s enough […]

If you’ve been following the blog for any amount of time, you probably recognize this sweet couple, KC & Andrew! But in case you’re new, let me introduce you to these two through their ALP history! I first connected with KC via a mutual friend who was my past bride (still grateful for you, Darcy!). […]

If I’m being totally honest, I almost decided not to share a blog post about our trip to San Francisco. I ended up not taking nearly as many photos as I expected; turns out, chasing a toddler around a major city doesn’t allow for as much time for photos with the “good” cameras — shocker! […]

​When I was designing my updated website, I knew one thing for sure: I would heavily feature James and Cady’s wedding all over! Their Army Navy Club wedding with portraits at the Lincoln Memorial and White House was so quintessential Washington, DC. From the neutral color palette, to the black-tie attire​, it was perfect from […]

Back in October, I shared that a whimsical Stone Tower Winery wedding that I was the photographer for was featured on Style Me Pretty! It’s no surprise that the feature was absolutely stunning, but I wanted to, of course, share the images on my personal blog as well! After all, the incredibly talented Stephanie, from […]

A few weeks ago, we had all of family and close friends join us to celebrate Landon’s second birthday with an adorable puppy party! Anyone who knows this kid knows he is utterly obsessed with dogs. When we visit our friend’s homes, he will chase their pups endlessly just to give them hugs and pets; […]

Cady and James were married on a truly perfect October day during their elegant Army Navy Cub wedding in Washington, DC. The weather teetered just between that splendid balance of summer and winter with streams sunlight dappling in and out of the fluffy white clouds. It was a stark contrast to their Chicago engagement session […]
