A Milestone to Celebrate

{DC Magazine Feature}

Hello Friends!

We just celebrated our ten-year wedding anniversary, and it's amazing to reflect on how it all began. Our meeting was truly serendipitous—I joined a few friends at a rooftop party at the Renaissance Hotel in DC, not knowing it would change my life. A group of us were sitting together when some mutual friends introduced us. As soon as he found out I was Persian, the first thing he asked was, “Do you like kabobs?” Luckily, I did. We exchanged numbers that night and had our first date in Bethesda shortly after. Ten years, two beautiful children, and countless memories later, we’re celebrating a decade of love, laughter, and the incredible life we’ve built together.

Clients often ask what it’s like working together as a married team. The answer is simple: we’re partners in every way—from raising our children to building a business that reflects our shared values. That deep and all-encompassing partnership shapes how we advocate for our clients, always with clarity, care, and as a unified team.

Moments like these remind us how quickly time moves. A first dinner becomes a decade. A home purchase becomes a time capsule for life’s most treasured memories. We still remember the day we brought our twins home from the hospital and how we've watched them grow within these walls. The greatest moments in life often unfold at home, in the everyday conversations, the shared milestones and holidays, and of course, those everyday family dinners.

Feel free to share with us your special moments in life! We'd love to hear from you!

Warmly,

{4.24.15 our wedding day in Napa Valley}

CURATED JUST FOR YOU!

Where We're Eating

CUT by Wolfgang Puck

We had the pleasure of attending a lunch to celebrate the launch of CUT’s new midday menu by celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck. Having met Wolfgang before, it was a treat to reconnect and hear him share stories of preparing meals for some of the world’s most famous actors with their Oscar statuettes casually in tow.

CUT excels on many levels, especially in its warm hospitality, refined menu, and elegant setting within the Rosewood Hotel. Standouts included the pretzel bread, Amish chicken, and truffle fries. They were also so good with allergies!

What We're Watching:

S2 The Last of Us

We knew nothing about the video game that inspired this HBO hit, but we were hooked from the very first episode, which follows a parasitic fungal outbreak that devastates the planet, turning humans into violent creatures known as the "Infected." Unlike a viral pandemic, there’s no vaccine or cure.

While we're not typically drawn to zombie shows, this one stands out for its character-driven storytelling, centered on the bond between the leads—Pedro Pascal and a fantastic Bella Ramsey—as they fight to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. The first season captivated us, and the second continues with equally gripping drama.

What I'm Buying: Nordstrom Pajamas

Spring is the perfect time to refresh my pajama collection, and I recently picked up this pair from Nordstrom that I absolutely love. They were so good, I went back and got the short version too! The fabric is incredibly soft and they hold up beautifully in the wash—much better than other pajamas I’ve tried. They’d make a fantastic Mother’s Day gift (just a little hint!). I personally like to size up for a more relaxed, comfy fit.
