This session. Everything from Anne being barefoot in the grass to both of them eating ice cream to all the red brick DC has to offer. Maternity sessions done right by awesome people. I hope their daughter has a sense of how cool they are.

I’m too lucky sometimes. I get to work with… really phenomenal people and on this particular morning, on this particular day, these phenomenal people happened to be Seattle wedding photographer Kirstin Marie and her husband, Jon.  The sky was like sherbet, the weather was perfect, and we got to enjoy the stillness that is Baltimore mornings, before the hustle and bustle picks up, before cars flood the streets, and, thankfully, after the trash has been swept up from the night before.

Cool people, cool places, amen. <3

I’m going to do things out of order here, OK? Because I photographed their engagement session, their wedding, and I haven’t blogged either, but this is their first anniversary session. Since the days are looking cold, feeling warm, and reminding me more of how everything came together on this day, I wanted to share Tara and Gabe’s photos from how they celebrated their first anniversary.

We took to the woods, smoke bombs in our pockets, lit them carefully (and disposed of them respectfully) and I feel happy that I know these really awesome people. Here are a few from that day together.
