A few times a year we get to travel back to the mountains of North Carolina to visit family (and photograph/film weddings!).  We were both raised there and only moved away 7 years ago so it has a very special place in our hearts.  Taking our daughter, Hazel, back brings out all sorts of memories!  My family […]

Today is our 9th anniversary.  Nine years of marriage!  It makes me teary eyed to think about where we started and how far we’ve come.  So today we put together 9 things we truly love about our marriage (and each other).  These are what make us who we are, and I just love that!  We certainly […]

Sarah + Ryan live in Raleigh, NC and were so sweet to come all the way to Hampton for their engagement session!  After rescheduling twice for rain, we finally got a beautiful evening on the beach for their session.  I can’t wait for their Outer Banks wedding in Spring 2016! We met at Buckroe Beach on […]

We chose Colonial Williamsburg because that’s where Eric proposed– right in the community garden next to the kale!  Leigh + Eric laughed with each other their entire engagement session!  It was perfect and so wonderful.  Enjoy their session!!

We’re changing up the blog a little bit today!  Josh wrote a really awesome heartfelt post about moms for this special day! —– What can be said about the moms of the world that hasn’t already been said? I can’t think of much. There’s hardly a post I’ve read as of recent that captures the […]

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, […]
