Washington D.C. Engagement Session | Lifestyle by Anna Elizabeth
When I moved close to Washington D.C., I immediately knew that I wanted to do an engagement session, or really any kind of session, at the monuments. Anna made that possible within the first year. Thus this tradition began.
Every November for my 3 years in the D.C., Maryland, Virginia are, Sam, Anna, and I would head down to The National Mall for an elegant session. The first we did were at the Lincoln Memorial and this one was at the Thomas Jefferson Memorial.
When we got into Washington D.C. on this very chilly morning, we immediately went to the Lincoln Memorial and showed up to seeing it completely under construction. Thankfully we had plenty of other options but I am beyond happy that we chose the Thomas Jefferson Memorial.
Anna gets very cold very easily just like I do so if you look close enough, you can tell that her hands and feet aren’t exactly the same shade as the rest of her body lol. BUT it was SO worth it. These pictures turned out absolutely amazing.
We had so much fun talking, laughing, and joking with the guard that was in front of the memorial. He thought Anna was crazy for wearing a crop top and a skirt in the muddle of November at sunrise. And let me be the first to tell you, he was not wrong lol
Anna took it like a champ. If I hadn’t pointed out her cold hands and feet, you would have never guessed it was around 20 degrees that morning.
What I love most about shooting with Anna is seeing what outfits she comes up with. The skirt and crop are both from ChicWish and her shoes are actually her wedding shoes from Bella Belle Shoes. Make sure you check out my other sessions with Anna so you can drool over wardrobe right alongside me!

Is there anything better than a maternity session on the beach…? (Hint: the answer is no…. lol) I vividly remember the day that Anna told me she was pregnant. I was just leaving base in Germany and pulled over since she was calling me on video. To say I was in disbelief is an […]

COVID-19 has definitely changed a lot this year in so many ways from how we style and celebrate milestones to how we socialize with friends and family. This past week Chandler asked me for some ideas of how to capture her birthday which just so happened to be the last day of her lock in […]

A little backstory before product photography came into my life… I started really getting into photographing other people when we were in Florida in 2015. We then moved to Maryland in December of 2015 and that is when my business grew. I had regular clients, weddings, second shot a lot of weddings, and finally began […]

I remember how terribly inconsistent I was with poses during an engagement session back when I started photography and my oh my.. Do you remember Anna? Back in July of 2016 I was invited to a styled shoot by a friend 30 minutes before it started. I ended up getting stuck in traffic on […]

One thing I have learned from this quarantine (as a family photographer) is that there is always more work that can be done to work on your craft. Even if that does not include shooting. I am going back through older sessions and came across this session with my best friend Natalie of Natalie Grace […]

If you are stationed in Germany, you have most likely been to Burg Lichtenberg at least a handful of times. This is one of my favorite castles to go to for family sessions. The kids love to run around and play and the adults can really take in the scenery around Burg Lichtenberg. Going to this […]
