Kati // Gravelly Point & Theodore Roosevelt Island

Well hello there friends! Even though it is a VERY hot and humid day here in DC, I'd like to take you back to the frigid month of February when I did this fun shoot with my beautiful cousin Kati. We ventured to one of our favorite Northern VA spots along the Potomac River - Gravelly Point Park! It was a majorly blustery day, but it was one of the first where there was a touch of springtime in the air. We had fun watching the planes and strolling along the river. If you've never been to Gravelly Point, I highly recommend it. The Reagan National Airport planes take off and land right above your head! And by "right over" I literally mean dangerously close to you. It's terrifying, but also somehow very mesmerizing and intriguing. It's worth the trip! 

PS - I don't know about you, but these photos make me long for boots, scarves and sweaters. C'mon Fall, hurry up already!

It's Happening!

Fall is finally here! I went running earlier this evening and had to stop to take these pictures. Signs of fall are everywhere: the leaves are turning, there are piles of crunchy leaves on the ground, and I even wore my boots yesterday. Let's be real - as a native Floridian who just moved to DC, I was ready to wear those boots when the temperature dropped below 80, but I patiently waited for a high of 70...I think that's cool enough, right?! Heck, I'd wear boots all year round if I could. 

Welp, I'd say it's officially official, folks - it's time to start baking pumpkin everything and getting out those fall decorations. Remember last year when my autumn enthusiast best friend briefed us on the deliciousness of pumpkin baked goods? Well if you don't remember, you'll want to have a look. She knows what she's talking about.
