It was a joy to meet Chris and Caiti at their engagement session in Baker Park and historic downtown Frederick. Sometimes the engagement session is the first time I have met a couple in person and it’s a great opportunity for us to get to know each other and work together before the wedding. I found Chris and Cait to be super easy to be around, very relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. Like many couples these days, Chris and Caiti met online and quickly hit it off. They joked that Chris wasn’t quite truthful when he listed his height as 5’10” on his profile (he’s really just under) which was Caiti’s minimum (since she is 5’9″). But his charm worked and Cait was more than willing to overlook the slight discrepancy. It didn’t take long for them to fall for each other. These two are so cute together – she’s an elementary school teacher and he’s an up an coming lawyer- young and in love and full of dreams for their future….I loved soaking up some of that vibe. I can’t wait for their wedding in July!

I was so honored to be able to capture these precious moments for this sweet family that God has lovingly brought together in His perfect time. Seeing these adorable boys together and marveling at how God has provided both for them and their awesome parents was such a joy. Adoption is such a beautiful thing and while Drew and Mel have their hands full with two babies instead of one, I know they clearly wouldn’t have it any other way. So much love! Thank you guys for inviting me in to your miracle! Can’t wait to watch these two grow up together.

Jon couldn’t keep his eyes of Ana during their engagement session. It’s not hard to see why. She is beautiful, joyful and spunky. Perfect for him! They got engaged on Christmas Eve and their wedding is March 11 – these lovebirds aren’t wasting any time in starting the rest of their lives together. Jon has been working hard to learn Spanish, dance the Salsa and to appreciate the more laid back Latin culture (like dinner might be at 8 pm instead of 5:30). Ana never though she’d marry a white guy, but it turns out that Jon is everything she’s dreamed of. They work hard at their relationship and take seriously the commitment they are about to make despite coming from very different backgrounds. God has brought them together and it is a beautiful testimony. I am so excited to be part of their big day and can’t wait to celebrate with them!
I met Grace and Jason for the first time at their engagement session. Jason is from Tennessee and Grace was living in Virginia where she worked as a post-partum nurse, but they were in Frederick, MD for the weekend to visit family and nail down some wedding plans. I knew I was in for a treat when, before we started off, Jason asked if he could take a moment to pray for our time. That was a first for me and I loved it! So very thoughtful and what better way to start a photo session than that. With that I caught a glimpse of the kind of guy he is…Grace, I think you picked a winner! She clearly agrees. 🙂
We had a great time. The weather for late January was pretty perfect and while they protested that they were not natural in front of a camera, they fell into it like old pros. I felt like I was hanging out with old friends. As the sun fell and the light turned golden we got some beautiful shots that capture their personality together. They are such a sweet, fun-loving couple and I can’t wait for their wedding this summer!
