Kelsey and Andy are medical students who live in Richmond, they’d just been placed for residency when we shot their engagement session! It was an exciting day for so many reasons, and we had a blast! I love the chemistry between these two. It’s obvious that they share so many qualities – ambition and a […]

Another romantic sunrise session for y’all! Nestled into the hustle and bustle that is Northern Virginia, there is this sweet little town. It’s right on the river and kind of feels like a fairy tale. There are tons of mom and pop shops and restaurants that have been here forever, and at sunrise, it’s basically […]

Washington DC proper has some really fun locations for portraits besides the iconic monuments. You know I love sessions at the monuments… but even more, I love that Mia and James chose a location that meant so much to them. We shot at Meridian Hill Park, near where James lives in DC. These two have […]

I got an email from Lyndsey, sister to a 2017 bride, that she was engaged. It is seriously the biggest compliment when I get to photograph a sibling of a past couple. And, oh, how I love this couple. [And anyone who wakes up for a sunrise session, let’s be serious.] There is something so romantic […]

We had the most gorgeous day in Richmond, Virginia for Lauren and Colin’s Monument Avenue engagement session. I’m thrilled to share this couple’s photos with you. We had a blast walking around the streets of the fan, finding all of the trees in bloom. especially in the “secret” garden these two shared with me.We missed […]

Sometimes it’s hard to pick my favorite thing about my job. Meeting a cute basset-pug-beagle mix named Beaker?! It’s very near the top of the list. Also at the top, when the weather cooperates. On Alex and Luke’s engagement session day, we had predictions of wind gusts up to 30mph – and you’d never know! […]

I’m pretty excited to be posting on my blog again! I had a few months of technical issues that made my site out of commission. But I’m back and so excited to share this session with you from a few months ago! We had a beautiful day in Norfolk with Evelyn and Brent. These two […]

Casey grew up in Virginia and turned her passion into a profession. She is a dancer and works as an entertainer on cruise ships! It was there that she met Ash, a pianist from Australia. Their job takes them all over the world, but they decided to come back to the Hampton Roads area for their engagement session. […]

I’ve been enjoying the holiday seasons, but its high time I get this sweet couple’s engagement session out for the world to see! These two suggested their church for their session, but let me tell you. This isn’t just any church. Gorgeous grounds, historic gardens, a large manor house, and an iron gate that looks […]

[The more appropriate title for this post is, “MY DREAM CAME TRUE!” But, casual, Ali… keep it casual.] Meet Nellie and Golar. These two are working in Oahu and just recently got engaged! This is pretty exciting for me because… Nellie is my cousin and that can only mean one thing… another Zangas family wedding! […]
