“They’re like little pink clouds on sticks.” – Saving Mr. Banks You guys! Cherry Blossom season is coming SOON!! I grew up in Michigan where when you saw your first Robin that meant that Spring was on its way. But here in the DC area, when you get Cherry Blossom predictions, that for us, means […]

Well this was a great wedding to welcome me back shooting weddings again! The whole day was an absolute dream. Renee + Enzo were married this past Sunday at Big Cork Vineyard. This was always supposed to be a small wedding no matter if COVID was here or not. Their plan was to have a […]

Oh COVID, I hate your stinking guts. You make me vomit. You are the guuunk between my toes. Love, Alfalfa (and everyone else in the world) 2020 has not been kind of anyone this year. Least of all, all the sweet couples trying to just get married. All my weddings from April – end of […]

Happy ONE year anniversary, Pete + Nicole! I didn’t get a chance to write a blog after their wedding, so I thought I’d do it on their anniversary…which is today. Pete + Nicole have been together since they were in high school. HIGH SCHOOL! I love that. Their wedding was my first of 2019 at […]

Ok, who here loves horses???? Who here once had a monthly magazine subscription to an equestrian magazine even though I was never an equestrian or had any hopes of being an equestrian? Ok, yes, I did. I did. I freaking LOVED horses when I was younger. Still do. All I thought about, wrote about or […]

When I say I have some of the BEST couples this year, I literally mean it. I met Kaitlyn and Jordan last year to talk about being their photographer for their wedding at Stone Tower Winery in June this year. I went away from our meeting totally LOVING them and praying they would hire me […]

Did you all know about President Lincoln’s Cottage in DC? I had no idea it was there! It’s gorgeous and has so much history on that site. It was there that Lincoln developed the Emancipation Proclamation! And it still houses veterans. I think they said the oldest veteran to live there still is over 100 […]
