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 […]

A Wedding at The Edge 18

Cole and Windsor’s day was my first wedding at The Edge 18 in Middletown, Delaware. This couple has a great story – they met while her family was on vacation in North Carolina. Cole was stationed there with the US Coast Guard. Windsor spotted him singing karaoke and was smitten 🙂 For their wedding day, […]

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 […]

A Brandywine Park Engagement Session

Whew! If you know me or any other professional photographer well, you know that the Fall is BUSY season! So many sessions and so little time for blogging them all. I had the pleasure of capturing a Brandywine Park engagement session during the last weekend of October. I really want to get at least a […]

Marian Coffin Gardens

A Fall Family Session Ahhhh! A Carney family Fall session at Marian Coffin Gardens. Perfection. In case you missed my Instagram post, nearly every year (for I think 5 or 6 years) Shaina comes up with a family theme for their photo session. For this year, she picked a Victorian/gothic type theme. (their outfits and […]
