DC isn’t just the monuments. It’s a beautiful place with so many things inside the city and surrounding states. Here are a few of my personal favorite images from this past year.

This year started off with a crazy snow storm. Crazy but beautiful.

Yesterday was kind of a rainy and dark day, so what better way to spend the day than with one of my best friends and her 2 week old baby boy. We just hung out and talked while I was cuddling with the baby. He’s the sweetest and cutest thing ever. I didn’t want to leave but around 5p I started getting texts from Andrew about dinner. It was perfect timing because the fog had just started to roll in. I could barely see anything but the lights from the Capital Ferris wheel. So I had to call Andrew and tell him dinner plans will be delayed and U-turned immediately. Good thing I’m a prepared photographer and had my camera with me 🙂
