When we first moved here six years ago, Julia’s family took us in as their own.  It’s what they do– if you know them, you are family, and we have spent many a holiday at her grandparents house!  At one of those holiday events, Julia’s mom whispered to me that she wanted to know about […]

Just when we think we won’t get any creamy sunset lighting, Hampton Roads weather surprises us again!  This session started out with dreary skies and then the sun perked up and brought in that perfect shine.  This session also landed on Rachel + Tim’s one year anniversary of their engagement!  They brought their super sweet […]

Every once in a while, you need to rely on your tribe. Everyone’s tribe looks different, but for us, it’s our friends, family, and the other creatives we work with. Linda + Sean’s wedding was one of those moments. When you have an incredible couples wedding coming up at the same time as a trip […]

It’s been 6 years since my first wedding (I was the second shooter).  I lived in South Carolina at the time and drove almost 2 hours to the venue in North Carolina.  I couldn’t even tell you what town it was in– somewhere in the mountains.  A friend was photographing the wedding and wanted some […]

Scott & Jenny’s stunning wedding day was right on the top of the hill at Trump Winery at the Grand Hall. I’m not sure how many miles you can see from this place on a clear day, but it looks like you could just touch the end of the earth. Their ceremony was out on […]

Wedding ceremonies are some of the most significant events we get to film. Let that sink in for a second.  What we get to capture is a family history being made. We are documenting the lives of two people coming together forever, and if you pause and take that in, you begin to realize how […]

While we were in Eastern Europe a few weeks ago, we had a lot less internet than we expected.  But the Kavanagh family was so patient with me and we ended up scheduling their Virginia Beach vacation photo session from overseas!  And then when we got off the plane in Dulles I received an email […]

When you think of a wedding day, you think of every detail being perfect.  The bride gets a manicure and pedicure to prepare for the big day, hair and makeup are carefully applied that morning, and the dress was picked out months ago.  But there was one detail that no one saw coming at Morgan […]

This little boy– he’s been on this earth for 3 years and we only found him 8 months ago.  During those three years, he’s had 4 major surgeries and countless doctor appointments.  $19,000 into this process, we finally got to meet him last week and it was nothing short of amazing.  In a few more months, […]

One of the biggest compliments in this business is when a family loves their photo session so much they send friends our way and come back themselves!  I first met Adam during the Meade’s family session last fall, and now he’s headed into his senior year.  We met at City Center for his senior pictures which is […]
