{Engaged} Catherine & Michael

I am so looking forward to Catherine and Michael's wedding this coming summer.  In preparation for the big day we did a mini-engagement session.  Because we expected cold weather we initially planned to do the whole session at the National Gallery, but we were pleasantly surprised with a gorgeous day.  After snapping a few photos inside we hurried outside to catch a some shots with that magical golden light that comes just before sunset.









I really can't wait for the summer!
Congratulations Catherine and Michael!

{Family} Megan, Paul, & Rhys

Megan and I met a few years ago through a mutual friend, and let me say she is a lot of fun.  She is the only person to ever get me to sing karaoke, quite a feat.  When she and her husband Paul welcomed their first child I was so excited to eventually meet him.  It took 6 months, but finally we got together for a family photo session a few weeks ago.  With the cold weather it wasn't safe to keep little Rhys outside for photos so we needed an indoor location.  Megan and Paul are both wonderfully creative people, so it was only natural that we chose the National Gallery of Art.  On the modern art side of the museum we found lots of big windows letting in beautiful light.  I will be honest, there was some concern that the security guards would end our session early, but Rhys easily charmed them with his bright blue eyes and big smile, some even offered to help us.  I'm wrapping up the editing on their photos, so this is a sneak peak even for them.






He loved this flying pose, it was the easiest way to get a smile.





Beautiful eyes clearly run in this family.


I had so much fun with this family, I can't wait for future sessions!
