Gavin & Gianna

This past weekend I spent the day at Wheaton Village with Gianna & Gavin! We had a blast taking some fall photos, and I loved getting to know them a little better--their mom, Marnie, actually used to babysit my younger brother and I when we were Gavin & Gianna's age, so it feels like things came full circle :)

Jump behind the cut for some more fun!

The Sappingtons

The Sappington family has become one of my all-time favorite families. Stemming from Eric & Kelly's wedding back in the spring, I've proceeded to also photograph Brent & Naomi's baby girl Charlotte, which then culminated in me just gathering the entire clan and doing an epic family photo shoot down in Maryland.

Please don't let this mild-mannered photo before the cut fool you--Dee, the matriarch of this amazing family, handed me a very lengthy list of photos they wanted to take throughout my time with them. Upon initially reading it, I saw a lot of the expected requests--family photos, grandchildren, etc. But as the list continued, the requests got crazier, and I knew that I was in for an awesome day.

Lori Citsay Jewelry

When Lori asked me to help photograph the jewelry she makes for her Etsy shop, Lori Citsay Jewelry, I was truly honored. Lori makes some beautiful, hand-crafted jewelry that I've secretly been dying to get my hands on, and I had a blast photographing some awesome pieces for her. Behind the cut are just a few teasers of some new merchandise she'll be uploading soon, so make sure to keep your eye on her shop for when she posts!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again--supporting local businesses and individual artists is one of the greatest things you can do. As a local artist myself, there's nothing more satisfying or a bigger confidence boost than when someone takes interest in what you make.

Dawn & Jeff

It's currently hardcore crunch time for me in terms of photos--considering it's 3:37 AM on Labor Day, the first day of school is tomorrow! So depressing!

Now that I've got that out of my system, I'm very excited to share with you a peek inside Dawn & Jeff's wedding. This was another one of those serendipitous situations where Dawn & I played field hockey together in high school, and somehow--years & years later--ended up teaching in the same school. I was so excited when she asked me to photograph her wedding, and she definitely didn't disappoint. Her & Jeff have such a beautiful, loving relationship, and let's face it--they definitely know how to throw a killer party.

Engaged! -- Craig & Hannah

My cousin Craig recently got engaged to Hannah, and the entire Cedermark clan is so excited to welcome her into the family. We spent the day in the Poconos, exploring the area around my aunt & uncle's home, and took some awesome photos.

Engaged! -- Nikki & John

Sooo, I'm beyond excited to post these photos for a multitude of reasons, but mainly because Nikki is one of my oldest & dearest friends, and the fact that she's getting married is INSANE! Her & John met back in college at TCNJ, and he immediately jumped feet first into our crazy group of friends.

Obviously, the only natural place to take their engagement photos was on TCNJ's campus. We had an absolute blast taking them, and it was such a joy to split a pizza and Starbuck's with them afterwards (just like old times :))

Engaged! -- Jon & Kaitlin

Jon & Kaitlin called me a few weeks ago to set up an engagement shoot, and when they told me their location idea, I was pumped. They opted for the Ocean City boardwalk, and much like their personalities, it was tons of fun! They were game for anything & everything, and the images that we were able to create are so whimsical and carefree--you can literally feel the love in every single photo.

Leslie & Joe, pt. 1

Leslie's a longtime friend of mine, and I couldn't be happier for her & Joe. Their wedding was a day of love and celebration, and I'm honored that I was asked to document it for them.

This is just a very small taste of the plethora of photos I took, but I wanted to give the bride and groom a little smattering of what's to come. Expect more later on :)

Baby Charlotte

A few months ago, Brent & Naomi contacted me to shoot their newborn daughter Charlotte.

Of course I had to jump on the opportunity--not only are they the brother & sister-in-law of Eric (and now Kelly, too!), but a 7-week-old nugget? How could I say no?

She was absolutely precious & a total angel. Not to mention she had quite an array of outfits to choose from (Naomi must be starting her early ;)).

Eric & Kelly's Wedding (pt. 2)

Hooray, Part Two!

These are all the ones I'll be posting--I want to keep some as a surprise for the couple :)

Regardless, they're still tons of fun & I'm extremely proud to share them with you.

Eric & Kelly's Wedding (pt. 1)

Hello!

I photographed the loveliest wedding this past weekend down in Baltimore. Eric & Kelly are both graduates from Loyola University (which is my alma mater, as well :)), and I was second shooter for another Loyola alum that I graduated with (hi, Ty!). Needless to say, it was an absolute joy to document Eric & Kelly's special day, especially since the ceremony was in Loyola's chapel, and simply because the two of them are the sweetest, most genuine people I've met in a really long time.

It was completely obvious how much in love the two of them are--they made my job very easy.

The amount of amazing photos I was able to capture are numerous, so consider this Part One of Eric & Kelly's wedding!

Dotti's Retirement Party

A few weeks ago, right before Easter, I was hired to photograph a retirement party.

It was really lovely hearing all the amazing things Dotti's co-workers & friends had to say about her, and I was very touched to be able to spend the evening documenting this lovely woman's transition from working to retiring.

Here are a few more shots from the night.

Supporting local business.

Now, I know that I've taken the time before to get on my soapbox about supporting local businesses & freelance artists like myself, but I'd like to take a step back up onto that soapbox once more (just as a gentle reminder ;)).

Gavin's 1st Birthday

It's crazy to think that a year has already passed since this little guy has come into the world. My cousin Garett & his fiance Ashley were blessed with Gavin and the rest of us cousins were super pumped that another generation of the family was coming into the world. It was awesome to have him toddling around at Christmastime and to see him tear into his gifts!

I also find it awesome that this little baby is the same kid!

Matt & Nicole

I'm one of the lucky people in the world who is able to partake in multiple jobs & enjoy them all. I'm a third grade teacher and a photographer, and a day rarely goes by when I don't enjoy either. The most exciting part of these two jobs is when the two are able to harmonize.

I've known Nicole for little over a year now--she was the student teacher in the classroom I was an aide in last year, and we ended up being coworkers at the beginning of this year (her as the computer teacher and myself as the basic skills teacher). We've been able to bond over classroom mishaps & a similar sense of humor, and the topic of weddings. I was so excited for her when she came to school one morning and subtly tried to hint at the engagement ring on her finger. Sadly it took me a very long time to realize what her discreet hints were directed towards, but when it finally hit me, I was ecstatic for her.
