Welcome to the Blog

I'm Erica a D.C. wedding photographer, with two young children, and a love for organization. Welcome to my small space on the internet where I can share with you special sessions, real weddings, and even little looks into my everyday life. Take a look around, and thanks for stopping by!

I’m grateful to be starting this week by sharing some lovely engagement photos with you. Emilie and Alex’s Cana Vineyard and Winery engagement session was on a picturesque Friday afternoon in the peak fall colors.

This Madison at the Mill wedding in Orange, Virginia is a bit closer to my heart than most.

Christmas Tree Farm photos only get better when you add in a Blue Truck! It’s no secret that the weeks between the start of September through mid-December are some of the busiest weeks in my year.

These Christmas Tree Farm mini sessions are just what I needed to get me in the holiday spirit this year. With a very full wedding schedule right up to Christmas, I felt the season really crept on me fast. I didn’t anticipate the arrival as much as I normally would! My husband and I have […]
