You’re not going to believe this but this session was probably our easiest DC engagement session to date! We had glow, no crowed, a beautiful setting and the most wonderful couple!
Kevin and Emily met us at Constitutional Gardens last week and I was expecting crowds because the weather was amazing. We were anticipating super hot weather and high humidity but it was so pleasant! Everywhere we went, I just kept saying, “guys, how is this so perfect?!” and I meant it! Normally DC sessions have some element of stress but everything for Kevin and Emily’s shoot worked out so well! Even our parking spot was amazing!
We met them at the gardens and found beautiful settings, foregrounds and glowy light which is all I could ask for in a location! Then we headed over to Georgetown where we captured some more images where Kevin asked Emily to marry him! We loved getting to know these two and hear more about their life, their work, their families and their wedding plans! We left our time together and Michael and I both commented on how sweet our time together was! I’m thrilled to share some of my FAVORITES from their session!!
Thanks for reading!

When it comes to wedding photography, the right lens can make all the difference. But let’s be honest—gear can get expensive. So when Canon introduced the RF 85mm f/2.0—a lens with portrait, macro, and image stabilization capabilities for just $500—I knew I had to put it to the test.
Have you ever started a session, camera in hand, and suddenly felt stuck? Your couple is standing there, looking at you, waiting for direction… and your mind goes blank.
Have you ever tried to sit down with your spouse to talk about dreams, goals, and vision—only for it to turn into frustration or misalignment? If so, you’re not alone. Vision casting in marriage is hard because it brings up deeper fears, beliefs, and unspoken dynamics that many couples don’t even realize are at play.
Success—it’s a word we hear all the time. But what does it really mean? Is it about financial security? Status? Owning a dream home or taking extravagant vacations?
When you think about your business, do you see it as simply a job—or something more?
