The Dawes + Bouthillet Families | Lions Bridge, Newport News Family Photographer

I’ve been itching to get this family in front of my lens for awhile now, but it’s tough when they don’t all live in the same state, and they all live very busy lives!  We started the session with Ann and her grandchildren– aren’t they all incredibly good looking???  They were all so sweet together and love […]

Mary + Kelly | Norfolk Church Wedding | St. Pauls Episcopal Church

One of the things that stands out most to me about Mary + Kelly is their zeal for life.  They are all in, all the time.  They love each other fiercely, celebrate friendships and family, and they don’t care so much about the status quo.  Their wedding was packed with a receiving line, a sword […]

Julia + Derek’s Wedding | Hermitage Hills Farm and Stables

To be truthful, every time someone books us for anything, we’re kind of blown away.  It seems silly since this is our full time income and we stay booked, but we really are in awe that we get to do this for a living!  But when another photographer recommends us for a wedding?  Then we’re […]

Jacob + Mary Margaret | The Mill at Fine Creek, Powhatan, VA | Deluxe Highlight Film

Today’s post comes from Josh: You may or may not know this about me, but I tend to oversell things. I get really hyped up about something; I think it’s the best thing ever, and then everyone and their brother has to know about it. And, it isn’t just good, it’s usually “UNBELIEVABLE!” This is […]

Kristina + Lando | Yorktown Beach Engagement Session

We’ve been looking forward to Kristina + Lando’s engagement session for awhile now, and then had to be rescheduled because of rain and high winds… so when we finally met at Yorktown Beach with the most beautiful weather and golden sunset, it was a dream! With each session, I always have something I’m working on, […]

Allison + Ryland | The Vintager Inn Engagement Session

From the very first email with Allison, there was this excitement that shined through.  And sure enough, when I met her she’s exactly the same in person!  We met at The Vintager Inn for her + Ryland’s engagement session, which is also where they’re getting married next month!  They are so very sweet and hilarious together–  and […]

Sarah + West | Hampton Roads Engagement Session on the James River

Sometimes I feel like I’m photographing movie stars.  For one, every couple I work with has this incredible chemistry.  I mean, they’re getting married, so I guess it’s expected, but it’s just so incredibly sweet!  But with Sarah + West, I felt like they were doing all the work and I was just hanging out […]

Courtney + Chris | The Vintager Inn Wedding, New Kent, Virginia

There’s something so sweet between Courtney + Chris.  They’re calm and relaxed, but know how to have a great time, and really enjoyed celebrating their wedding day with friends and family!  The Vintager Inn proved to be the perfect location with its large barn, since it drizzled their entire wedding day.  It’s so disheartening as a […]

Brittany + Fahd | Christopher Newport University Engagement Session

Can I make a confession?  Sometimes I still get a little bit nervous before a session.  It’s not often, but I just know that this is a very special day for each person in front of my lens.  Maybe it’s their wedding or engagement, or maybe they haven’t done professional photos in a year… or […]

Adoption Update | Personal

Back in January we shared some really big news… we fell in love with a sweet little boy and within hours started the adoption process.  You can read about it and watch our announcement video here. We haven’t updated a ton because, well, it’s pretty standard.  Tons of paperwork and so far we haven’t had any updates […]
