If you know me, you know I have a heart for premature babies.  I have nieces and a nephew who were born premature, and I knew I needed to open a this photography business after one of my nieces passed shortly after her (very premature) birth.  So each year I choose to work with the […]

If you’ve been around here for more than a day, you know we love showcasing how each couple is extraordinary.  Even if your love story seems so normal… there’s always something that makes it stand out and shine. Vernon + Linda… oh my.  Josh filmed their 30th anniversary vow renewal and I literally started tearing up just watching the […]

I just love how easygoing Brittany + Chris are!  When we met for their engagement session they were so fun to get to know, and I left feeling like we’ve known each other for awhile.  Plus, they put up with my silly antics walking all around Fort Monroe and trying out all sorts of fun […]

Photographing live events is really awesome and fun, and this was certainly no exception!  Stage lights are both awesome and a huge challenge, but it’s one of those times when waiting for the right moment really pays off.  A few weeks ago I was up in Williamsburg at Waters Edge Church to photograph their baptisms and […]

It finally happened.  My original engagement ring fits again!  I haven’t been able to wear it since I was pregnant with Hazel– and she’s three years old now! Over the years I’ve worn many different rings.  My ‘real’ ring is the diamond ring in these pictures- a completely custom ring from a jeweler in Asheville, […]

The Chubricks hold a special place in my heart.  When we first moved here four years ago they hired me to take family photos for their daughters first birthday.  We had just moved 8 hours away from all our clients, and were gradually rebuilding our business here.   Every year they called again, and then when […]

A few weeks ago I got a super cool email from Jonathan telling me how he planned to propose to his beautiful girlfriend at the Williamsburg Winery.  How awesome is that??  They’d been joking about going to the circus while they were here, so I contacted Greenhouse Picker Sisters to put a few items together.  The […]

Periscope is new in the App Store and is super neat!  I’ve been playing around on it for a few days and was instantly shocked at the response.  The idea is that you see the world through someone else’s eyes.  And you can interact with them! For those interested in developing similar innovative apps, connecting […]

Maura + Matthew’s original engagement session date ended up being in the middle of a giant snowstorm, so we were pleasantly surprised when we had the absolute most perfect weather for their session in Yorktown last weekend!  The air was warm, there was a beautiful sunset, and their beautiful smiles were completely contagious!  It took […]

Eleven years ago I met the love of my life. For the first time in my teen life, I wasn’t looking for a date. I was confident in who I was. It was Spring Break my senior year of high school and a friend and I were shopping at the mall. Right before we left, […]
