Well, it’s been quite a year at NOAA! I have had the honor of documenting the 200th year of NOAA. It’s been a blast, and I cannot believe it’s been an entire year! I’ve been to Maryland, DC, Virginia, Alabama, Colorado, Texas, and more to photograph events celebrating the special year in NOAA’s history. It’s […]

Hey Everyone- what a great post to break in the blog! As I was editing some wedding pics tonight, my old second shooter/good buddy Kim (who moved out to California-sadness!) called me and asked me if I had been to the WPJA site lately. I said no. She told me I “maaaaay wanna head over […]

Today was a very successful rally in solidarity with Burma- thank you to everyone who came, including two of my wonderful brides! (Have I ever mentioned how much I love my brides?!) I need to get some rest after a crazy day- Jen and Rob’s wedding is tomorrow!

I feel like I say this every time, but, WOW… where do I begin?! Ramona and Jimale had a fairytale of a day. It began with both of them getting ready in the bride and groom’s rooms at the lovely Newton White Mansion in Mitchellville. Jimale and his boys were all smiles and very laid […]

A fantastic Woodend wedding! The Woodend Sanctuary is one of my very favorite places to photograph weddings. It’s such a nice place in a great setting. Amanda looked sooooo pretty. I loved her dress, her shoes, her hair… everything! The ceremony was lovely. I really enjoyed watching Gray the ring bearer come down the aisle […]
