Jim and Kim are married! They tied the knot by the water at Herrington on the Bay with friends and family surrounding them. It was a beautiful celebration! Kim and Jim shared a First Look and then we walked around the property for portraits. Kim had a gorgeous veil that was so much fun to photograph!! They danced the night away under the beautiful chandelier.
Tommy & Allie | Engaged {Loch Raven Reservoir}
Tommy and Allie are such a sweet couple. They were set up by close friends and hit it off! A year later, Tommy proposed at Loch Raven which made for the perfect spot for their engagement pictures. We started off with a few pictures in a canoe out on the water and the geese were trying to photo bomb the whole time!
Tim & Mary Ellen {Grey Rock Mansion in Pikesville, MD)
Tim and Mary Ellen tied the knot last weekend at the beautiful Grey Rock Mansion in Pikesville, MD. Their wedding was a celebration full of joy and love. Mary Ellen was the ultimate DIY bride and handmade all of the decor! She even made the bridesmaids bouquet and her bouquet. Amazing! Their initials spell out TiME (Tim & Mary Ellen) so the theme was clocks and time. So creative!
Rob & Alyson | Engaged {Downtown Annapolis}
John & Elizabeth {Pier 5 Hotel in Baltimore, MD}
John and Elizabeth are married!! These two tied the knot at Pier 5 Hotel in downtown Baltimore. They were able to share a First Look and take some portraits outside before the rain started! Elizabeths nephew was the ring bearer and he did such a good job. And then Elizabeth and John when through the sword arch for their exit!

Joe & Kristine | Engaged {Patapsco Valley State Park}
It feels amazing to be shooting again! We are officially back in business after being off for a few months having baby girl Payton. Joe and Kristine are a very sweet couple who are getting married this fall at the Oaks! These two love to fish, hike, and spend time in the outdoors together. They also love to travel!
CrossFit + Pregnancy
I had my 6 week postpartum check up with my OBGYN yesterday and I am officially cleared to workout again! I have been itching to workout since giving birth because it is a big stress reliever for me so getting the clear was exciting. Before I was pregnant, I had a regular routine of doing CrossFit at Nevermore a few times a week.
Payton's Newborn Session {Emily Gerald Photography}
It is always strange for us to be on the other side of the camera, but we have gotten used to it after being together for over seven years! I knew after we found out we were pregnant that Emily Gerald would be the perfect person to shoot our newborn session. She is a very talented baby + birth photographer based in Virginia and she is just the sweetest!

Why We Love the First Look on the Wedding Day
Maternity Milk Bath Shoot {Towson, MD}
The past few weeks I have gone into full out "nesting" waiting for baby P to arrive in hopefully under 3 weeks! While we are waiting, I thought it would be fun to do a milk bath maternity session a few weeks before I was due since my belly would be very large. My good friend Hannah told me she would take the pictures and I was so excited!
