DC Handstands

Some people will do anything to have their picture taken.

This guy was doing all sorts of flips and spins during an Engagement session in DC a few weeks back, that I couldn't help but take a few minutes to let him regale us with his gymnastics.

Fashion : Burgundy & Beige

What happens when you take cocoa browns, pale ivories, warm camels and add a splash of red red wine? A very sophisticated color palette perfect for November weather.

Engagements : Kaylee & Ernie

Despite several rain outs, Kaylee, Ernie and Myron the Pug ventured out in the mud and muck and overcast sky for some relaxed engagement photos. Here are just a few of my favorites from this sweet, funny and adorable couple who will tie the knot next Summer.

Inspirations : All Hallow's Eve Gala Wedding

A not so traditional bride might dare to wear this crazy couture Galliano Dior Gown, which got me to thinking about a Halloween Masked Gala Wedding, complete with ghost white pumpkins, elegant black and white color palette in silks, satins, lace and feathers with a pop of blood red color, somewhat spooky vintage decor and of course, a haunted castle!

Haute Amour : Noelle & Ariel

I love doing couple's shoots, whether it's an elopement, a day after or an Haute Amour session, it's nice when couple's can relax and enjoy the entire experience and truly get a lot of portraits together without rushing or feeling like they are missing something at their wedding. Noelle and Ariel are busy Doctors who kept postponing wedding plans due to their schedules, opted for an Haute Amour session on a private beach before their elopement later this year. They wanted to the shoot to be causal, relaxed, and about them. No bouquet or table settings, just sweet, simple. After all, the best detail to photograph is real love.

Inspirations : Backyard Halloween Wedding
