Sean & Danielle for Kristen Gardner Photography!

On April 25th I was able to join Kristen Gardner at the Regency at Dominion Valley for Danielle & Sean's wedding. It was so nice to see the Regency in the Spring. The last time I was there was in January (shooting with Kristen) and it was COLD!

The 25th was warm and sunny, a beautiful day for a wedding!

Pretty, pretty bridesmaids!





I always love watching brides get into their dresses.



Check out that PINK!



Who doesn't love a good dad & daughter shot?



I love how he was looking at her when nobody was watching.





Here is the grooms mom, isn't she just so adorable?



I had an awesome vantage point for the ceremony!







One of the first few moments as husband & wife.



While Kristen was off shooting formals, I got to shoot some candid moments at the cocktail hour.





Super cool centerpieces on the tables at the reception:



The bride & groom enter!



First dance:



And finally, an awesome shot of the grooms mom & the best man breaking it down!

Love you moms!

Happy Mothers Day!



A picture of my beautiful mother from her recent vist and our afternoon at the Shenandoah National Park.

Here is my grandmother (moms mother), Anne, as a beautiful bride:



Here is my grandmother, Marge, with me as a baby. She passed away in 2002 and I still miss her every day.

Happy Mothers Day!

What a better time to show off some maternity pictures that Mother's Day weekend!

On that crazy hot Sunday after I shot Urmila & Scott's e-session I took a break for a few hours and then headed over to my friend Suzanne's new house to shoot her maternity pictures.

Suzanne is an amazing makeup artist who I met at a bridal fair (our booths were right across from each other, and our guys totally hit it off during the down time) last September. We really hit it off and I am so thrilled that they just moved close to us and are expecting their second little boy. I actually think she may have had him this week since she hasn't responded to my email! If so... CONGRATS!!!!

Check out how adorable this little family is!





Jacob & Suzanne are so adorable together!







Their adorable son Kai giving his baby brother a kiss!





Time for some COLOR! Can you belive this is all on their property in Manassas? What a great view!







We did some shots of her in front of the new house to send to her family and I couldn't believe when she climbed on the railing!



And finally a nice headshot of the beautiful momma!



Seriously if you need your makeup done... call this woman! She is amazing! Last weekend I had my bridal makeup trial and I was FLAWLESS. It looked just as good at midnight as when she did it at noon!

Urmila & Scott - Engaged!

On the hottest Sunday EVER.... I met Urmila & Scott out for brunch at Marvin in DC (yum it was soooo good... mmmm waffles!!!). I highly recommend it if you have not been there before! After brunch we headed out to Rock Creek Park to shoot some engagement pictures. I can honestly say that after maybe 30 minutes all 3 of us were ready to be done, it was just THAT hot. However, in that short amount of time we got some rockin' shots!









Aren't they just so adorable?!









I can't wait for the wedding guys!

The Worth Family!

Also when we were down in Florida I got to get together with my cousin Christine, her hubby Chuck & their adorable son Charlie for some awesome portraits. We thought the contrast of more formal dress with the park setting would be awesome with the lighting at the time in the evening. Boy were we right! I am so in love with this session!

Check it! They are such an adorable family.



And what about this guy?!







More adorable family shots:









And one great shot of just Christine & Chuck!



It was so great to see them and after the session they took us to an awesome habatchi steakhouses. It was sooooo good!

Skyler & Giana - Happy Monday!

Happy Monday everyone! I have had a very busy weekend which I will tell you all about in another post but while the dust settles please enjoy this awesome session I had with Skyler & Giana when I was down in Florida 2 weeks ago!

Rock Star Kids!









I love how tan Florida kids are!









Of course we had to get one shot with Mom!



Happy Monday everyone!
