A Delaware Brewery – Argilla Brewing Co.

In the Spring of 2017, my husband and I were introduced to a Delaware brewery called Argilla Brewing Company.  For his birthday, I bought Jason tickets to a special dinner hosted by Iron Hill.  The dinner featured several Delaware breweries by pairing a beer (each from a different brewery) with each course.  When we arrived, […]

An Engagement Session at Longwood

One of the beautiful things about an engagement session at Longwood Gardens is that the space is so large. You can’t cover everything in a one hour session. The gardens are also always changing, and therefore, the sessions are always different. As a Wilmington Delaware wedding photographer, I shoot there often – it is right […]

A Hagley Wedding

Sara & Jay Fall is in full swing and my schedule is feeling the effects. It’s hard to believe a full week has gone by since Sara and Jay’s beautiful Hagley wedding. I’m in love with the color and light from their ceremony and am so excited to share these images. As Sara was walked […]

Why an Engagement Session is Important

I hear it often – “mmm we don’t really think we need an engagement session.” It’s an area where I often make a case for why something is more important than couples realize. Part of my job as a professional photographer is to share information and allow clients to make the best decision for their […]

A Deerfield Wedding

This Fall was a whirlwind in the best sense of the word. I quickly became so busy through October and November that I’ve barely had time to share much on social media and haven’t blogged at all in over a month! I can’t not post from Katie & Mike’s Deerfield wedding, though. I’m so excited […]

A Summer Engagement Session

Middletown, Delaware You know that song, ‘Summertime’ (and the Livin’ is Easy)? These hot August days bring that song to mind. I can just hear Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong’s voices belting out the lyrics. When I look at the images from Katie and Mike’s session, I’m also reminded of this song. There are greens […]

Maternity Session ⎮ Marian Coffin Gardens

March is such a hopeful month for me. I’m not a person who loves winter. Getting out of February, having some warmer days, and seeing the budding daffodils and crocuses brings on a lot of good feelings. When I first spoke with Reshmi about her maternity session, we both were excited about the possibility of […]
