Sometimes I shy away from blogging about things because I feel like I’m not qualified enough to talk about the subject. I don’t want to give tips on running a successful business because I only have experience from my own life. Marketing is the same—I know what has worked for us, but that doesn’t mean […]

We had an absolutely perfect day for Eden + Drew’s maternity mini-session at Sandy Bottom Nature Park in Hampton, VA!  36 weeks is right about the perfect time for maternity pictures, too.  The baby belly is nice and full, and typically this is right when moms are teetering on the edge of being totally done with […]

Gorgeous rentals and a laid back couple made for the perfect atmosphere at Meredith + Todd’s April wedding at The Obici House in Suffolk!  While they wanted their wedding day to be perfect, they didn’t get too bogged down with details- instead they chose a fantastic vendor team that made sure everything was smooth sailing! […]

The day I met you I had no idea what the future held.  I didn’t know you would be my best friend for life or that God would send us on the best adventures together.  I had no idea that we would struggle so much financially in the first few years of our marriage, or […]

I absolutely love when couples do little things to buck tradition.  It makes my heart happy that they’re doing things their own way!  So when Rachael contacted me about her wedding on April Fools Day, I couldn’t wait!  Little did I know there would be a belly dancer there as well (scroll all the way […]

We recently adopted our 3 year old son, Zane, from Eastern Europe.  We’ve had him home for two months now.  He has esophageal atresia, which means his esophagus doesn’t connect to his stomach (he’ll have surgery to correct that) and is on a feeding tube.  Our daughter, Hazel, is 5 years old. ——– We did it.  We […]

From the moment I started emailing with Shannon I could tell I loved her personality.  Then I found out that I’d met her before.. at her fiancé’s sisters wedding last year!  Already knowing that side of the family, and then getting to know Shannon, I can tell their wedding is going to be a blast.  […]

It’s been pretty quiet around here, and that’s because we’ve only worked 10 hours a week for the past two months!  That is crazy for two workaholics like ourselves, but it’s been the best maternity/paternity leave we could have possibly imagined.  We really needed that time to connect and bond as a family new family of four […]

The Historic Post Office is a dream venue for us.  It’s gorgeous, classy, and right down the street from us!  Kelsey and the team there go the extra mile and really put people first, and that is what makes it different than just another pretty building.  When brides fell in love with the venue, but only […]

“Actually I think Todd and I are good to shoot even if it is raining. We went out and bought a cute umbrella yesterday.  Of course I wish it wouldn’t rain, but looks like I might be wearing the rain boots this afternoon!” I don’t make it a habit of quoting brides from their emails, but […]
