This past holiday season a past client messaged me and wanted to know if I offered gift cards. Two of her friends had gotten engaged and while they weren't entirely sold on the idea of an engagement shoot, the "fairy- god client" was. I was so humbled (and inspired) by the idea that I just HAD to say yes. And boy, am I glad that I did, because Brian and Jacqueline were an absolute blast to both photograph and be around. 

So: Thank you Jessica for being such a wonderful and thoughtful friend. And to the happy (and ridiculously adorable couple) thank you for being so much fun, we wish you an eternity of happiness and dog snuggles.

I absolutely love how this business allows me to shoot through life's timeline with my clients. For instance, just last weekend I got to spend the morning with the (growing) Cowley family. Just a few months ago we were shooting in frigid weather, discussing secret baby names and we wound up here, photographing the world's smallest (but cutest) fireman,  Landon Robert.

A huge thank you to Lauren and Mike, again, for trusting me to capture these important moments.  

Having your own photography business can guarantee you two things:
1.)    You more often than not will work 7 days a week
2.)    *You will often question whether your friends and family REALLY like you or if they simply keep you around to photograph their milestone moments.

Lucky for me I love my job AND can deal with being *used if it means getting to snuggle an adorable child while hanging out with one of my closest friends; as was the case this weekend when the Colton clan made the trek from DC to good ole’ NJ.
