Nathaniel's Baptism

What an absolute privilege I felt to be asked to photograph the baptism of Nathaniel Reign. I photographed his parent's wedding, that of Krystyna and Michael in 2007. It is one of the the greatest honors to be entrusted with capturing the moments of one of the most important days in a couple lives together, their wedding. But to be called to continue to document the changing life of a couple that started out as two and now is three... well, needless to say, I was thrilled and just a bit teary-eyed, to be able to be there for this new important phase of their lives. Little Nathaniel was surrounded in love that was palpable. What an awesome family and extended family of friends he will have in his life. Thank you Krystyna and Michael for including me and allowing me to get to follow your lives through his first year and beyond.
Nathaniel looks absolutelyangelic during the baptism.

Feeling the love!

Little guy... all tuckered out.

The Engagement of Shannon and Matt

Shannon and Matt were a fantastic couple to photograph. They have ties to the D.C. area and wanted their engagement session around the memorials on the Mall. They also wanted to have "Harley" their dog in some of the photos. With Shannon's mother helping by keeping "Harley" in the areas dogs were allowed, we moved from place to place on the windy, chill Mall area and took some really fun photos. After I looked at the take, you'd never know that we had to work with the wind, so Shannon's hair wasn't flying and that "Harley" needed warm-up breaks. Shannon and Matt interacted so naturally, they made it easy to get good photos. And Matt, without a doubt is the best dipper I've seen in a while! They made it out to Pictures in the Pines as well and I was able to be there for their first Christmas together. I loved that! I'm really looking forward to the wedding! 

Harley had to take frequent breaks to warm up. He looks adorable in pink!
