This blog has been more challenging to write, while oddly enough, Monica & Ric are some of my closest friends! Monica is my kindred spirit, a friend who only lived near me for a short while, but made an impact so deep that now we make one annual trip to see each other. She worked […]

I was grinning ear to ear from the moment I received an email from Katie & Wesley. Why? If you’ve followed me for awhile, you may know I’m obsessed with Gilmore Girls. Katie discovered this about me and proceeded to share within her inquiry how picking out her dress was very “Lorelei-like.” If you know […]

Who knew volunteering would result in Gabby & Ryan finding their soul mate? In 2020, the elementary school where Gabby worked turned into a pantry for people in the community to come receive food, and she decided to volunteer to help. Ryan was a new Navy boy in town and also came that day to […]

Downtown Frederick is one of my favorite locations to take couples for an engagement session! Here you have a charming city, that isn’t too hectic but still has that city vibe, right next door to a beautiful park for greenery!

Celebrating Amanda & Nate was so much fun after a long time coming! I met this sweet couple in early 2019.

As their Matron of Honor stated in her speech, Kaitlyn & Dave have a “gag me with a spoon type love.” Their love is infectious. Their love is pure. These two quickly stole my heart in our first meeting together when Kaitlyn and I realized that one of the many things we have in common […]

When I got off the first FaceTime call with Breanna & Kody my face hurt because I was smiling so much! Breanna is such a sweetheart. Our first conversation was so easy and light-hearted– all I remember is laughing a lot on that call! I knew right away she was a #AshleyElizabethBride and working with […]
