Karen & David: Engaged! | Meridian Hill Park, DC

I’ve got a shocker for you guys: most of my clients are not models.  I know you’d probably think so, considering all my clients are outrageously attractive, but no, they are all regular old people, just like the rest of us.  And like the rest of us, they think they are not photogenic.  They tell me they are “camera shy” or get “nervous” when they have their picture taken.  Others straight up dislike it.  But, aside from all the technicalities of the thing, the secret to good photos is this: laughter.  And these two have the laughter thing locked down.

David had this whole “just doing this for Karen” vibe going on but it was sooooo working for him in the photos!

Monica & Adam: Engaged! | Roosevelt Island

Like many Arlingtonians, I had driven by Roosevelt Island about a million times but had never been there.  Monica and Adam led me around the really lovely little one or two-mile walk around the island and we took some photos along the way.  These two totally bowled me over with the cute factor.  Also, what is with the trees this year?  They are finally, finally turning for real – three weeks late!
