Oh, these two…or really THREE! I met Ashley and Dmitry two years ago while doing an engagement session in Washington, DC and they are seriously one of my favorite couples. My friend and assistant, Julie, had met them through church in Dallas before they moved to the nation’s capitol and so they graciously let us stay in their cute home on Capitol Hill two years ago. Now, two years later, they just added the sweetest addition to their little family and I was THRILLED to be able to do some maternity photos for them before little Emerson arrived. Not to mention, getting to photograph again in DC! Seriously, sometimes I think I just need to live in this gorgeous city. Until then, I’m happy to get to go every so often and photograph there!
We started our morning session along the Potomac River, sandwiched between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial and let’s just say, I was in photography heaven. After shooting a while under the leaves that had just begun to change, we made our way to finish up at the Capitol and I thought to myself, ‘I have the greatest job.’ These two made it even more fun because they laughed regularly and their love for each other was so easy to capture. It also helped that Ashley was quite possibly the cutest pregnant woman ever! The morning was a blast and I was so thankful to have had the opportunity to do it! Emerson has made her appearance now (and she is insanely cute) but I thought I would go ahead and show some of my favs from their DC maternity sesh!
Here’s to getting to photograph sweet couples in beautiful cities!
Happy Monday!
