Kelli & Jermaine {Expecting}

I am a sucker for love.

Lucky for me, I get to see a lot of it :)

I do not have enough kind words to say about these two!

Kelli and Jermaine were so very kind and welcoming, I got along with them instantaneously.

Plus, um, hello. 

How good lookin' are these two?!  Their daughter is going to be gorgeous!

Ashley & Paul {Expecting}

Ashley is a woman after my own heart, she planned out the day of her photoshoot perfectly!

When we first discussed locations, Ashley wasn't too sure where to shoot,  

but she knew of a few criteria that had to be included:

1) on the water 2) romantic & whimsical 3) Metro train or bus accessible.

I came up with the perfect location! Haha, slight pat-on-the-back here, couldn't resist ;-) 

The National Harbor!  It is now one of my favorite places to shoot!!

To make our experience even MORE fun - the photoshoot was a surprise for her boyfriend Paul.

He had NO idea and was so happy when he found out what Ashley was up to :)

The look on his face when I introduced myself as their photographer for the evening was priceless.

Onto a few photos of this happy and expecting couple!

The Gaylord Hotel as a backdrop - what a stunning building!

I loved Ashley's neclase - "L" is for little Logan who will be here shortly!

Ashley was so happy that Paul enjoyed the surprise.  Just look at these smiles!!

Ashley just lights up when Paul is around :)

Really. Stop it guys.  *sigh* Such a good-looking couple!  Logan is going to be so handsome!!!

The next two photos are just so dreamy and romantic - sunflare, how I love it!

Christy & Guy {Engaged}

When I received my first email from Christy, I knew instantly that I was going to love this couple.
High school sweethearts, their relationship began 9 years ago!

I instantly felt bonded to her, we have something in common. 

Reggie and I started dating 7 years ago - the very week that high school ended.

Every step of the way has been an amazing experience.

Recently, Guy popped the big question at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore.

Soooo.... guess where we had our session? :)

The connection between these two is undeniable. 

He can make her laugh at the drop of a hat, these two were laughing the whole morning!

The way that she looks at him... and he looks at her?  Well... it is something truly special.

Congratulations guys!
