This July, Katie and Steven got married!! Their Summer COVID Rose Hill Manor Wedding was my first wedding in 2020. It had been 7 long months since photographing my last wedding in December. Words couldn’t express how much excitement I had leading up to this wedding. I had so much creative energy and couldn’t wait […]

Last year, I had all intentions of blogging this gorgeous wedding. I was waiting to blog and post Caitlin and Steven’s Fall RiverView at Occoquan wedding because it was so gorgeous I wanted it to be my last blog of the 2019. Then life with an infant was a much harder at that time than […]

Randy and Kathryn’s late fall Pond View Farm Wedding was such a chilly day but the sun was out so it was a picture perfect wedding day! Their ceremony had a beautiful pond in the background and they married under and surrounded by weeping willow trees. Fun fact, weeping willows are my favorite tree. This […]

My last session of the year and of the decade ended with this winter Old Town Alexandria Engagement Session with the most beautiful bride to be Marie-Elise and her fiancé Tom. The day was an especially chilly December day but you’d never know by their photos and Marie-Elise’s two absolutely stunning flowy dresses from LuLu’s.  […]

In late 2017, I had a bride looking for an engagement and wedding photographer. Things worked out since then I’ve photographed their engagement session, traditional tea wedding ceremony, maternity session, and their newborn session! View all of their sessions in the links below. I absolutely adore Kori and Knan and am so happy that things […]

From the very first phone call I had with Hope, I felt like I made a friend. We immediately clicked and I was hoping that she and Brandon would book. Within one hour of our call she told me she wanted to move forward. I couldn’t wait to photograph her Rustic Brandy Hill Farm Fall […]

Gradually blogging through weddings from late 2019 during this quarantine and this winter 48 Fields Wedding was one of my favorites! Sarah and Chris are the most down to earth and fun couple. See their engagement session here. Their wedding day was a gorgeous December day with lots of sunshine and love. From the florals […]

About two years ago, I photographed Eric and Emily’s wedding at Silverbrook Farm. Their wedding was filled with so much love and the most perfect details. Almost a year later, I hear from Emily letting me know she and Eric are expecting!! I was so honored to continue photographing this couple and their love. We photographed […]

Almost 2 years ago, I second shot a wedding at Silverbrook Farm. The lead photographer was friends with the couple but lived out of state. A few months ago, the bride Emily reached out to let me know she and Eric were expecting!! Now little William Claiborne is here and he is the sweetest little […]

Friends! I’m back at it! For the last few months, I took a break from blogging. I had been working on rebranding which included launching a brand new website! Part of me was hesitant to blog because I didn’t know how swapping platforms would affect my blogs. Didn’t want to have to do the same […]

With so much focus on the bride for her wedding day, the groom is often left with a time and place to show up. He may or may not know what to bring or he may think he has packed everything but has forgotten something. Earlier this year, I was photographing bride and groom details […]

Hello world. Meet Alexandria Grace Botta!! Photographing my own newborn is a moment I’ll never forget. I teared up a little when I photographed her at 4 days new because I just couldn’t believe she was mine and I was photographing MY baby. I’ve photographed countless newborns so this was extra special. I photographed Ally several […]

Great Marsh Estate is, in my opinion, the most romantic wedding venue in Northern Virginia. When Adam and Lauren reached out and inquired about me photographing their wedding, I was beyond excited! I was finally going to photograph at my dream wedding venue. We photographed their engagement session in the fall of 2018 and stayed […]

A few years ago I first met the Schutt family. Their son Jackson was only about 1 and of course they didn’t have their daughter yet. 2.5 years ago, I photographed sweet Emily’s newborn session, and every year I get to photograph their family session. This family session was filled with laughter and piggy back […]

I love seeing Noa every 3 months! She’s the prettiest little thing and I am fully obsessed with her hair. For Noa’s 9 Month Milestone session, we decided to do something a little different and do a strawberry milk bath session! It’s summer after all and what better way to celebrate your 9 month milestone […]
