Why do an in home photo session? It’s excellent for making your kids feel comfortable. It’s also a great way to document your life as it’s happening right now. We get the nice family photos, but we also get the kids playing with their favorite random toys, goofing off on their bikes, and of course […]

Watching couples go from engaged to married to parents is such a treasure. We get to know each other so well during the wedding planning process, and low key I always hope to be called back for family photos in the future! Plus, I get to snuggle sweet newborns in the process!

In fourteen years of photographing weddings, I still maintain that each wedding is unique. Sure, if you look at the colors or flowers or decor, there are common themes and traditions. For me, I see all the planning- all the meticulous choices the bride and groom have made for them and their guests to enjoy. […]

While Maggie didn’t specifically plan for it, her and Garrett’s wedding landed on the perfect weekend to enjoy all the tulips in Colonial Williamsburg! Tulips lined the garden area where they said I do in front of their closest friends and family, and then we headed off in a horse drawn carriage to take their […]

When couples say “You do your thing—I trust you!” it’s music to my ears.

Relaxed and fun photos of the whole day, which you can easily transform into charming illustrations using […]

As photographers, we are always honored to be a part of such special moments like Lindsey and Tim’s pregnancy announcement. It was a beautiful day filled with love and happiness, and we were thrilled to capture it all on camera as they share their excitement with the world! Fort Monroe provided the perfect backdrop for […]

Springtime at Norfolk Botanical Garden is a truly magical experience. The gardens are awash with color and fragrance, and every turn reveals a new delight. It was the perfect setting for Kenzie and Christian’s engagement session this April. As a photographer, I am always on the lookout for the perfect backdrop, and the gardens did […]

I knew I couldn’t afford the weddings I saw on there, but I could still pull inspiration from them (hello chocolate fountain and candy buffet!). That whole world of wedding planning was captivating but felt so far away. And now? I get […]
