Kelly & Adam | Wedding-day portraits | National Gallery of Art | Washington, DC

Kelly and Adam rang me juuuuust as I was about to close my DC books forever, and gave me one last great shot at the National Gallery. I've been shooting portraits in there for years, so it was nice to photo my last intimate wedding-ish there. We ran by some old favorites, played with some stuff in new locations and then jumped outside for some quickie fall-foliage action.

Drew & Chris | Baltimore Museum of Industry wedding

Drew and Chris were married at the still-extremely-awesome Baltimore Museum of Industry, against a backdrop of painterly sunset light. Then they blew it up, airplane-in-the-ceiling style with lots of laughs, a few tears, macaroni-and-cheese and a big dash of proud mamas.

Cailin, Ben & Baby A | Falls Church newborn photography

Cailin and Ben have a new tiny baby that they made from scratch! Baby A is totally skeptical and I'm predicting he will also be the next big rapper.
