Last summer I had the distinct pleasure of working with my friend and fellow photographer Kate. She had expressed an interest in having some intimate boudoir photos taken and I jumped on the opportunity. I have always wanted to shoot an outdoor session this way and I'm thrilled with the results. We had fun traipsing through the mud and the bushes to get down to the river with all my equipment.  The results are soft and intimate.  Exactly what I was going for.  This is boudoir my way.

Today was incredible. It was a cold, windy whirlwind of a day and I could t be happier. So much talent went into creating this workshop and I can’t wait to see the film! Thank you to all the talented vendors for lending your time and expertise to @thepathworkshops. Looking forward to the business portion tomorrow!

It’s all about the texture and the delicate, beautiful mess! Check out @carolinetran Instagram #CTlightingchallenge! It’s focused on learning how to see light in a different way. For example this photo needed some raking side light to show off the delicate petals and all that wonderful texture. This was case for not having super flat, even light!

What better way to celebrate #nationalpuppyday than with @amandagurtis and @jeremyadavis pup! He’s is definitely not a “puppy” here, but he’s worth celebrating! I love when couples include their furry family members. This guy even has his own Instagram account! @tuckertalesbmd .

I think I’m in denial. It’s spring right? Not here. It’s ten inches of snow here and I want my sun and flowers back! I will admit, we did have fun today in the snow and it was so nice to spend the day with my daughter... but I’m ready for the real spring to happen. Soon. Who’s with me?! 🙋🏼‍♀️

I blogged! I know, I know, I’m TERRIBLE at blogging, but I am trying to be better (link in my profile!) Anna and Josh’s wedding was recently featured in @theknot DC, MD & VA magazine and we couldn’t be more thrilled! To keep the love going I have some of my favs from their spring wedding up on my journal. Isn’t this just the sweetest moment? I believe we should hold hands with the ones we love and tell them “I love you” every day. Double tap if you agree!

Missing one of the strongest women I knew. She was sassy, sexy and headstrong. She was fierce and loyal. She looked cancer in the face and fought hard for years. She lost her battle last year, but her memory will live on. I am eternally grateful that I had her in my life for as long as I did. Here’s to all the women out there. Stay fierce . Happy #internationalwomensday .

One of the best pieces of advice for newly engaged couples is to hire a wedding planner. It’s worth it in spades ♠️ Marisa of @orphadesigns is not only a dear friend of mine, but one of my favorite wedding planners! She is creative and thoughtful about her couples vision! Happy #nationalweddingplanningday .

Those of you who know me KNOW that I adore flowers! It’s one of my favorite things about a wedding! When I saw that TODAY is #nationalfloraldesignday I had to post all the flowers! (I’ll have more gorgeous inspiration in my stories! Stay tuned!) This particular bouquet is really my take of undesign! Is that even a word?! I love taking a bride’s bouquet or an arrangement from the wedding and creating a lovely photograph that then becomes an heirloom piece they can treasure for generations! These florals were created for @jwarrens by @outofthegarden in Charleston, SC with planning by @candice__lorraine of @oohevents!
