So given our blogging track record over the last several months, one can either surmise two things – we are really lazy – or really busy!!! Well I hope that this post along with the others this week will prove that its option number two! There has been oodles of shoots, weddings, portraits and engagements and today I am posting two different events in one!
The first is the first half (oh yes, there will be a part two to come) of my hometown church Pastor’s family portraits. Nate has three beautiful girls- his adorable youngest daughter Lily; the ham for the camera and oldest daughter Grace and of course his beautiful wife Ari. We had fun running around in Meridian Hill Park here in DC with balloons and princess crowns and a few pictures in between! I had a blast!!

Aww, sisterly love…..



Such beautiful eyes!





Nose Smush!!!!





Lily’s not so sure about this…

Next up are photos from Danielle and Mike’s Backyard Wedding! I met Danielle in CUSP (awesome designer store in Georgetown for all you shopaholics!) in the spring when I noticed her beautiful engagement ring! (Mike did well) I had the pleasure of photographing them for their engagement photos and meeting all their friends and family at their engagement party in April. Fast forward to a few weeks ago in October when I got to step back into their world for just a few hours for their very intimate backyard wedding. It had rained all morning and it cleared up just in time for their ceremony! Danielle looked absolutely exquisite in her very simple cotton wedding dress and Mike had a cool look going on with a Blazer, jeans and some Converse kicks! They had a wonderful ceremony with 20 of their closest friends and family and it was so refreshing how personal everything was.
Thanks Danielle and Mike – I was thrilled to be able to capture your special day!


This is the ring (I know, right!?)


Danielle is absolutely stunning!




But Mike isn’t so shabby himself….

Good friends,

And good family…








These two like to laugh!

And to close…look at this moment…
