Anthony & Christopher | Washington DC intimate wedding | Jefferson Memorial

Anthony and Christopher were married steps from Mr. Jefferson, rocking his big, pretty memorial. Don't get too excited, though - I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to get married on the memorial itself. But if you're quick and hide in a corner and don't bring too many guests, who's to say you're not just huddled about looking happy because founding fathers, etc. etc.? Democracy, Monticello, marriage!

Shiva & Julien | National Mall engagement photos | Washington D.C.

Shiva and Julien are all about compromise. He loves the big city and she wants wide open spaces. So they're doing two sets of engagement photos - one here in D.C. and another back home. We're not much for mountains in this area, but we can rock the big city for sure. The three of us strolled the National Mall in search of architecture, glass and urbanity in all its forms. The Mall, as always, did not disappoint. national-mall-engagement-photographers-6national-mall-engagement-photographers-1 We pretended for just a few minutes that it was super nasty cold out. national-mall-engagement-photographers-3national-mall-engagement-photographers-5national-mall-engagement-photographers-1-2national-mall-engagement-photographers-7national-mall-engagement-photographers-9national-mall-engagement-photographers-10 The never-disappointing light tunnel of happy sparkliness. national-mall-engagement-photographers-11national-mall-engagement-photographers-13 And some of the art is back at the National Gallery!

Nancy, Ilan & Baby L | Washington DC maternity photography | Mt. Pleasant

Once upon a time, two lovely people met in Mt. Pleasant, fell in love, got married and had a baby. They made goofy faces at the baby, because goofy faces are this couple's particular forte. Sometimes the baby cried, but mostly she was very happy. And then they hired a brilliant photographer to take documentary family photos. The end. Ok, not the end. Not the beginning. Just somewhere in the very-good middle.washington-dc-documentary-newborn-photography-25 Baby L has a tiny tongue and little tiny toes. washington-dc-documentary-newborn-photography-2 And a tiny vajay - sorry future teenage Baby L! washington-dc-documentary-newborn-photography-3washington-dc-documentary-newborn-photography-4washington-dc-documentary-newborn-photography-5washington-dc-documentary-newborn-photography-7washington-dc-documentary-newborn-photography-8washington-dc-documentary-newborn-photography-9washington-dc-documentary-newborn-photography-10washington-dc-documentary-newborn-photography-11washington-dc-documentary-newborn-photography-12washington-dc-documentary-newborn-photography-13washington-dc-documentary-newborn-photography-15washington-dc-documentary-newborn-photography-16washington-dc-documentary-newborn-photography-18 Nancy and Ilan's house has amazing light.
