Beth & Craig in North Potomac, MD

It's crazy when two worlds collide! Craig and I were high school friends, while Beth and I have been connected through family for as long as I can remember. Somehow, they found one another, fell in love with one another, and plan to get married next summer! Of course I was thrilled when they asked me to take their engagement photographs. Our location was in a bustling town center in North Potomac, MD just around the corner from their home. Though we had to keep passers-by out of the pictures, you would've thought Craig and Beth were all alone during the shoot. It is clear how much they adore one another, and I can't wait to shoot their Rehobeth Beach wedding in July 2013.

The Sanko Sisters at Burke Lake

We also got a chance to photograph Megan and Karen, two beautiful sisters. Their mom was hoping to replace an outdated childhood photo of the girls. We are used to working with small children and families, so it was quite a different experience taking photos of these two. The girls were troopers through the cold temps and windy weather, and I think we got some great photos that capture the unique bond between sisters.

The Hutzel Family at Burke Lake

I'm excited to share a few photos from our November mini-sessions at Burke Lake! We finally got to spend a morning with the Hutzels to get some fall family photos and document Claire's 1st birthday. When you're working with two children under 3, you never know what you might get out of a shoot, but Tess and Claire flashed perfectly natural smiles as they laughed at their Aunt Mary dancing behind the camera! Although we got some great family photos, some of my favorites are of the girls' genuine expressions as they played in the leaves with Mom and Dad!
