Katie and Lane celebrated their nuptials with an elegant December wedding at the Fairmont Hotel in Washington, DC. While the rain may have been muddy from all the winter precipitation in the preceding days, it stopped just as we arrived to the DC War Memorial for their monument portraits. We were even blessed with warmer […]

Last December, I attended a baking class at Milkbar in Washington, DC with one of my dear friends where we learned how to build their infamous layered Birthday Cake! I had actually made this cake at home a few years prior, but it’d been a long time and it’s always fun to get out of […]

While Emily and Max’s engagement session from this November may look like the encapsulation of a perfect fall day, I’m here to let you in on a little secret — it was FREEZING! These two, however, were absolute champs and didn’t complain about the unseasonably could weather one time. After all, they are used to […]
