Right before I went home for Christmas break, I was able to take engagement photos for Eric and Katherine, whom I met at college. They got engaged over Thanksgiving break, and we took advantage of them passing through DC to get some pictures around Dupont Circle and the Mall. Here are some of my favorites, a little later than I anticipated!

Lately, on Instagram
Homeownership (ok and the competitive DC housing market that led us to skip a full inspection), has had many... surprises. Like years of flood damage in the basement, the skylights that were never sealed, the kitchen pipes that were not threaded, the complete lack of water pressure in the shower, the apparent absence of studs in any walls (how?), and the shower door that was hung backwards- to name a few. But there have also been other surprises. The light that fills our home at every moment of the day. The different blooms in the yard that show up unexpected. The tv, patio furniture, lawn tools, 12 cans of orange juice concentrate that the former owners left. The neighbors that have been a welcoming. The way a place can become home so quickly and deeply and happily and expensively and surprisingly.This fall sight on my doorstep is the most beautiful thing. I find reasons to walk outside and analyze my mums multiple times each day, constantly moving pumpkins and turning squirrel bite marks to the back. The kids have picked up on it, and Henry heads outside “just go see if the mums look pretty” and Etta is always pulling off blooms to bring to me. We all love climbing through flowers to come home. Really wanting November to go as slowly as possible.Archives
Gosh, I miss those two.
Thanks for providing such lovely pictures, Hannah!
Ahhh! LOVE the one in front of the Capitol! The sun reflecting in the top windows, the blue sky peeking in at the corners, and, of course, two very dear and lovely people . . . Well done, Hannah . . . as always.
