kara & greg – engaged

Kara and Greg met with me the other day to take a few engagement photos around DC and let me just tell you, they are just so cute together! They made each other laugh and smile the whole time. To start with, we hung out in and around the Jefferson Memorial. I’m happy that we were able to get a few photos without tons of people in the background (well, okay – I edited a sliver of a person out of this one below) because there were a million tourists out and about.

These next few were taken near the George Mason Memorial which 1.) I had never been to (it’s kind of tucked away), and 2.) I didn’t realize was a memorial of George Mason. Oops! I guess I should have known that since I went to GMU. I love when my photo sessions are fun AND educational.Kara and Greg both play softball in a league together, so we headed over to the fields where they play. I think this one on the pitcher’s mound is my favorite from the day! I love when we’re able to make the photos really personal and meaningful by using special locations. So cute:

Quintessential DC:

Kara and Greg, thanks so much for wandering around the city with me! I am so excited for your upcoming wedding – I’ll see you in November!

treat yourself!

I went to the grocery store yesterday just to pick up a few things. Upon entering the store, I was greeted immediately by a hugely tempting Easter candy display. What is it specifically about Easter candy that is so irresistible? I personally have a weakness for Reese’s peanut butter eggs and chocolate bunnies (who doesn’t love biting the ears off?), and for a brief moment I thought about treating myself. But then I also noticed tons of cheerful-colored fresh flowers just on the other side of the candy display, and decided that tulips would make a much nicer treat. What do you do to treat yourself? And when was the last time you did? If it’s been a while, why not treat yourself this weekend?
