Pride
Pride is a tricky thing for an artist.There’s that little thing called perfectionism, first of all. Then there’s the to-do list a mile long, that always makes one feel slightly incomplete. A bit undone.Pride never is an emotion that swells to the top of the food chain. It’s always chomped on by doubt, ambition, exhaustion, and distraction. But when I work for a…
Heidi and Myles – The Mansion at Strathmore | Bethesda, Maryland Wedding Photographer
What a wedding! Heidi and Myles had a picture perfect ceremony and reception, filled with personal details and lots of love. The Girls: The Boys: The Ring Bearer: Get a load of his tux! He did a great job walking down the aisle and delivering the rings to the best man. Myles and Heidi told me that they dress up their pooch at…
Marni and David – The Tremont Grand | Baltimore, MD Wedding Photorapher
A gorgeous weekend at the Tremont Grand in Baltimore. Marni and David had the most spirited wedding on May 7, full of tons of love and joy.

Meg and Marc – Hotel Monaco | Washington, DC Wedding Photographer
This past weekend, I had the joy of photographing the wedding of Meg and Marc, two very good friends of my sister. I was first contacted by Meg after she saw one of my weddings featured on the great blog District Weddings. She was interested in my work and style as a photographer, but it was only after the first contact that we put…
DIY
One of my favorite bridal blogs in this area is called District Weddings. They have a great series on etiquette tips right now, and the piece from this morning struck my interest. The question was: Are wedding favors something to leave out when considering budget? The response was that favors really remind your friends and family how happy you were that they came to…
Baby Love
I love maternity shoots. Oriana and her husband are having a little girl, and are so, so excited!When I asked Oriana about how she was feeling, with near tears in her eyes, she held onto her stomach and said “this baby girl is VERY wanted”. I’m so happy for you guys, and can’t wait to meet her!
Mike & Meghan – Potowmack Farms | Lovettsville, VA Weding Photographer
I’ve blogged before about light (and if you’re a client of mine, you’ve definitely heard me talk about it). This weekends’ wedding was a great example of how a photograph is truly just capturing light, its mood, its intensity. The subject of the photograph shapes, bends and reflects the light in different ways. If you can think about photography in this way, your images…
Foodies Delight!
Some of you might not know that in addition to photographing cute babies and spectacular weddings, I also photograph food and restaurant operations. Food photography is actually some of my favorite work because I have the opportunity to work with other artists: chefs and bakers. When a plate comes to me to be photographed, and is stylized perfectly, it’s like photographing a master’s sculpture….
