Brooke and Lloyd came all the way down from New Jersey and met up with me in Harpers Ferry, WV on a lovely November evening for their maternity photos. The little baby ended up being an early world visiter and made their appearance only a few weeks later. So I am glad we were able to take the evening and soak up the fall beauty of the jewel of the Eastern Panhandle that is Harpers Ferry.
Emerson Bromo-Seltzer Tower Engagement Photos| Baltimore, MD | Maryland Couples Engagement Photographer
The Emerson Bromo Seltzer Tower has been on my dream location list for years. So when Meghan and Stephen reached out this past fall that they wanted to do their engagement photos there, I leapt at the opportunity. Stephen is a mechanical engineer, so the fellow nerding was on while we made some awesome art. He and Meghan met in RVA (another one of my favorite cities where all my family is nearby, justtt saying). Meghan was a drama major, so I was able to fulfill another one of my daydreams and use the lights of the Hippodrome Theater in some of their shots as well to marry the session into a perfect telling of their story and new adventure of living in Baltimore together. After this absolutely cup filling session I was able visit my favorite human in Baltimore, MD and take my grandma out to dinner and chat for hours. Which I had missed deeply in my soul.
Mountaintop Engagement | Virginia Shenandoah Valley Photographer| George Washington National Forest | Wolf Gap, VA
The wind was whipping, yet Marianna and Cody blazed the way up the mountain top for their mountain top engagement session in George Washington National Forest in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. We made some cool art and some cold puppies. Their love story takes them through multiple meetings, huge life changes and hardships, moving to separate coasts, coming together over their love of the outdoors and a trip to the PNW and a proceeding long distance relationship where they both racked up all the airline miles. I am so happy my first dual coast wedding is with this duo. They are divine and we just clicked, I can’t wait to travel with you both we are going to make some stunning things you can enjoy for life that tell your story.

Canoe Engagement Photos|Piney Run Park| Sykesville, MD | Carroll County |Maryland Couples Photographer
These two and I had such a blast at Piney Run Park in Carroll County, MD. When your love language is playfully roasting each other but also making sure to capture the person you love doing things they love…. We are on similar brain waves. A big thank you to Kristina for picking an activity that David would enjoy and not totally hating me for encouraging him to bring his fishing rod out of the truck. Seemed fitting since a fishing trip in West Virginia was how he proposed to her.
Thank you both for entertaining me, and giving me the gift of a beautiful evening in a new place, with a belly full of laughs. Those are the days that fill my cup.

Adam and Morgan met up with me in Oakland, MD, then we wandered over to Swallow Falls State Park, and then ended the day at Deep Creek Lake State Park and watched the sunset.
I have known Morgan forever thanks to her being a year younger than me in private school. So I figured what better way to spend the day then stumble around the area around where they are getting married, and just take our time taking their engagement photos and catching up.
We spent the time chatting about life after school, how her and Adam met, them living in Aspen, Colorado and having a puppy named for that life adventure. Adam enjoys photography as well and does some wonderful work with landscapes and we chatted about his love coming from getting into astro photography out west. It was a nice day spent wandering about with an old friend and a new friend. I can’t wait for their fall wedding in Garrett County, MD!!

Rinda and Daniel eloped in Hocking Hills Ohio in the spring of 2021. We spent a day at their rental home with their friends and family having a ceremony. Then we woke up early the next morning to wander the park early before anyone else got there and had a total blast. We hiked through upper falls, Old Man’s Cave, and then the Old Man’s Cave Waterfall. Hocking Hills is one of my personal all time favorite spots, so it was wonderful to actually capture it with such an amazing couple.

Brian and George spent a lovely February day wandering around Swallow Falls State Park with me for their engagement photos. These two love birds had know each other since high school and reconnected and fell in love years later.

We even had a great time having a nice icicle wand fight and just got to goof off and giggle together.

Sometimes bopping around is well worth the adventure. K and J popped up into town and we hit some great spots in our engagement session journey. We hit Green Ridge State Forest, Rocky Gap State Park, and then stopped at Locust Post Brewery for beers to wrap up our adventure and chat while checking out Tony’s fantastic art. I loved getting to capture the energy of this fabulous goofy duo in their own element on what is a typical date night adventure for them, but in my backyard. Thanks for driving up and catching some of the beauty of Western Maryland.
Damascus, MD Engagement Session | Damascus, MD Photographer | MoCo Photographer | Montgomery County
Lexi, Ian, and Andie had me come to their lovely farm in Damascus, Maryland and capture their love. We took the farm truck up through the land and Lexi, Andie, and I enjoyed the wind in our hair and the gorgeous early fall weather. The farm is Ian’s family’s land so it was super neat to wander around and soak in the full beauty and memories that fill the land. Andie in pure farm dog glory photobombed all day and lived her best life as the star of the show. We bopped from field to field, greeting the various cows along the way. Considering this lovely pair met in veterinary school, I couldn’t think of a more perfect way to celebrate their love and capture their energy. I cannot wait until their May wedding where we will get to hang out with their loved ones and some amazing horses.

Stephanie and Kyle spent the day with me in the ever lovely Deep Creek as we popped around looking at elopement locations. We wandered our way through Swallow Falls State Park first, and found the perfect location for them. Then had dinner and chatted at MoonShadow and finished up the day with quick stroll through Friendsville, MD. It was so lovely to get to meet them both and to actually take the time to get to know one another while also picking the perfect location for the August elopement and capturing some fun steamy woodland engagement shots along the way.
