They’re back! 🥹

For the third year, I’m bringing my Front Porch Sessions back to the DMV!

If you’ve never done one before, the idea is pretty simple: I come to your front porch, take a few photos of your family, and then you’re done. No packing everyone into the car, no finding a location, and no turning family photos into an entire afternoon.

Just your people, your home, and a few beautiful photos of this season of your life. ❤️ z

"Truly the best kept secret for family photos in the DMV!"

Fall sessions are October 23 & 24, with a possible October 25th depending on interest.

And Christmas Front Porch Sessions will be December 11 & 12, with a possible December 19th as well!

Sessions start at $55 and include 3 edited digital images, with options to add more time if you'd like.

And if you're outside the DMV, you can still fill out the form! If enough people in another area are interested, I may add another route this fall.

You do not need to know how to pose for wedding photos.

Seriously.

You don't need to practice in the mirror. You don't need to know what to do with your hands. And you definitely don't need to suddenly become a professional model because you're getting married.

That's my job. 😂

I'll give you enough direction that you never feel like you're standing there awkwardly wondering what you're supposed to do.

But I'll also leave plenty of room for you to just be together.

Because some of my favorite photographs aren't the perfectly posed ones.

They're the ones where you forgot I was there for a second.

I have a theory that the best wedding photos happen when nobody is trying to make a wedding photo.

You're laughing.
You're crying.
You're dancing.
You're completely distracted by your favorite people.

And I'm over here quietly taking 47 pictures of it. 😂

Gramercy Mansion

Okay, but can we talk about this reception for a minute?

Because the Blue Label Band was INCREDIBLE.

They had everyone up, the dance floor was packed, and their set list was so perfectly suited to the bride and groom. You could tell they had put thought into choosing a band that actually felt like *them*.

And this is exactly why I love receptions. Give me a packed dance floor, a good band, and a bunch of people who are not afraid to have a little fun, and I am very happy behind my camera. 😂

Some wedding days are quiet and romantic. Some are a full-on PARTY.

I like both. 🤷‍♀️

Okay, here's a little wedding planning tip that can save you SO much stress:

Don't build your entire wedding day timeline around your ceremony time. 😂

I know it's tempting to start with, “Our ceremony is at 4, so everything else just works backward from there.”

But there are a LOT of little things that can pop up before you ever get to the aisle. Hair and makeup taking a little longer than expected, getting dressed, a first look, family photos, wedding party photos, travel time, an impromptu toast, or maybe just a few extra minutes for you two to slow down and actually take in the fact that YOU'RE MARRIED.

This is one of the reasons I love helping my couples with their timelines. We can figure out where you actually need time, where we can move things around, and where it's worth leaving a little wiggle room.

Because I don't want you spending your entire wedding day looking at the clock and rushing from one thing to the next.

I want you to have time to laugh, hug your people, soak it all in and actually be there.

Trust me, future married-you will be very glad you left some wiggle room. 🥹

I don't think enough people talk about the *immediately after* part.

The nerves are gone.
The vows have been said.
And then it hits you...

"We're married!" 🥹🙌

I love those first few seconds because they're always the most genuine.

Ring the bells!..okay fine, ring the gong. 😂🤍

They’re married!!!

M & Z’s Gramercy Mansion wedding was everything a wedding day should be: full of laughter, happy tears, sweet moments, and so much love.

From the moment the day started to the very last celebration, it was so clear how much these two are loved. And getting to be there to capture those little in-between moments was such a gift.

I’m still riding the high from this one and cannot wait to share more from their beautiful day.

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs.! 🥂🤍

This is such a beautiful reminder of why I do what I do. 🤍

Of course, I love creating beautiful images for my couples, but the part that means the most is knowing they felt comfortable, cared for, and completely themselves while I was there.

When someone tells me I helped a quiet couple shine, that they felt supported throughout the planning process, and that they’re grateful I was part of their story, that’s when I know I’ve done my job well.

The photos are the tangible piece they get to keep forever, but the trust, the connection, and the experience along the way are just as important.

So grateful for every couple who lets me step into such a meaningful chapter of their lives. 🤍

Consultations abound this week! Very excited to meet all these amazing couples!
