They met through a mutual friend in a city that was neither of their hometowns. As the conversation flowed between them, an attraction started. A causal follow up email was sent and before they knew it, they were emailing every day. Then the phone calls started to happen. It started to get more serious when airplanes got involved. Then BOOM, a full-on relationship emerged. Then a super adorable proposal came. Mark made Veronica a book about their love story and on the last page he wrote “Little did she know that he would one day get down on one knee and ask her to marry him.” How adorable is that? Oh, spoiler alert, she said yes!
Mark is my cousin, so when he asked if he could fly my husband and me out to Washington, DC to shoot some engagement pictures, I got super excited! We had so much fun shooting these pictures. I honestly wish I could have a whole weekend to shoot every couples engagement session! Here are some of my favorites from the weekend.
The idea of placing objects outdoors that you normally find indoors, fascinates me. Cozy beds with fun throw pillows outside in the snow, apple trees inside an old house, or even chandeliers hanging from trees. It all makes my heart skip a little bit and my fingers itch for my camera. So when my friends at Simply Bridal were generous and let me borrow one of their amazing dresses, I just knew I had to jump on the opportunity to create something that might just make my heart skip a beat.
I decided that I wanted to turn this photo shoot into one big collaboration. My friend Lori at Shabulous Creations let me borrow one of her amazing chandeliers.My friend Sarah Kitt did my model’s hair and makeup. My model was my dear friend, Lindsey, that I’ve known forever. I’ve been a big fan of her artwork for quite some time and she let me borrow some of her paintings.
I mixed it all together and I’m so happy with the shots. I’m so thankful for everyone who let me borrow their products. Without further ado here is the finished product.

Best part about being a senior: Knowing that I’m about to be in College.
If you had told me when I was 7 that I would be photographing one of my fellow soccer team mate’s little brother’s senior pictures, I probably would have run and hid behind my mom. (I used to be a shy kid) My point is that I think it’s awesome that I’ve been able to keep in contact with the Barnes family through the years. The best part is that I’ve been able to capture some major milestones in their lives. I’ve shot some of their head shots, wedding and engagement pictures and now senior pictures. I was so excited to shoot Hunter’s senior pictures, because he had tons of ideas of what he wanted. He was willing to jump fences and climb cement blocks just to get the shot.
We started out taking advantage of the last of the fall colors outdoors and then we headed to The Seasons Bistro (where Hunter works) to get a more classic look. Here are some of my favorite shots.
You might remember Ashley and Justin from their engagement pictures. Their love story is –City girl meet Country boy. Ashley is from the big city of Alpharetta and Justin is from the tiny town of Toccoa. They met through mutual friends and hit it off right away. Ashley likes that Justin can make her laugh till tears come down her cheeks. Justin likes that Ashley has an easy going personality and makes him feel like he can really be himself around her. They are perfect for each other and I can’t wait to see them grow old together!
I was so honored that I was able to be a bridesmaid and photographer for this wedding. Wearing both hats was a little harder than I thought it would be. I was running back and forth from taking pictures of the groom to making sure that the bride got in her dress. Thankfully, I had two wonderful assistants with me. Rachel Chandler was so wonderful and did all the shooting that I couldn’t do. (cause I was too busy walking down the isle, holding flowers and looking pretty) My husband was another amazing asset. He carried my cameras, toted a ladder and was my personal coat holder. I am very thankful for them, and I was so honored that Ashley trusted us to capture her beautiful wedding.
Ashley and Justin got married at Water’s Mill in Dahlonega, GA. It was a perfect fall day with beautiful colors, and sparkling lanterns hanging from trees. I hope you enjoy some of my favorites from the day. To see all the photos click here.
