What can I possibly say about Alyssa + Brandon’s wedding?  It was a perfect autumn day at New Kent Winery, the leaves were just beginning to change, and their rustic fall wedding fit in perfectly.  The morning was a complete whirlwind with three different getting ready locations, but when Alyssa + Brandon had their first […]

Once upon a time 19 friends went to Disney together… But only 17 of them made it to Disney because one nearly died and he and his wife had to stay behind in Virginia.  I’m not kidding– our friend’s dad went to the doctor on Saturday and found out his heart was 99% blocked.  Needless to say, […]

Man oh man… this family has stolen my heart!  They called me the first time when their daughter was turning one.  They wanted a birthday session to celebrate… and they’ve continued that tradition ever since!    Then a few years ago they added a son to their family, whose birthday is conveniently in fall, so […]

Anytime a family with young kids gets in front of my lens, there’s trepidation (on their part, not mine!).  The mom feels a strong desire to get family photos because the kids won’t be this little forever, and it’s a huge piece of life you want to remember forever.  But at the same time, having […]

When I schedule engagement sessions during the busy season, I often schedule back-up dates as well, just in case of bad weather.  That way we aren’t scrambling for open dates every time a thunderstorm rolls in.  Rain, a hurricane, and a death in the family meant we had to reschedule three times with Courtney + Chris, […]

Oh these two– where can I even begin?  Heather + Tim are some of the best people I know.  They’re family to us, and have been so kind to watch our daughter, Hazel, for the past three years.  She absolutely adores them and calls them Heffer and Timmy.  They treat her like a princess!  No […]

This wedding is so special to us and I don’t even know where to start.  When we moved to Virginia 5 years ago we didn’t know what to expect.  But slowly, we started to get to know people, and Danielle was one of those first people we met.  She was also one of our first […]

Since Josh is now full time in the business with me, I think it’s high time he start writing his own blog posts!  🙂  I’m halfway kidding, but it makes way more sense for him to write about his weddings than for me to ask him a million questions and attempt to relay his same […]

We are over the moon excited to photograph & film Kaitlin + Wayne’s wedding next May!  Their wedding is one day after our 10th wedding anniversary, so it’s a super special weekend to us, and we couldn’t be more thankful to spend it with them!  So when Kaitlin asked about a mini session for their […]

Sean and Rebecca are newlyweds, and soooo sweet!  Seriously, after leaving their session I was just in awe of what sweet people they are.  How is it that after meeting someone for an hour you get to know them so well?  It’s definitely one of my favorite parts of the job! Enjoy these two, Rebecca’s gorgeous […]
