Awhile back, Amanda whispered in my ear that she’d met the one and to let her know my winter schedule because she was going to be planning a wedding and wanted us to do photo + video.  My jaw dropped in sheer surprise and excitement!  Amanda is one of the most loyal and steadfast people I know, […]

In our line of work, creativity is king. And honestly? I’m not that creative. I prefer to see things and tweak them to make them their best. Because of that, I try not to look at other photographers work that often. I know- it sounds a little crazy! But it affects me and when I’m […]

Amanda + Jon are an incredibly brilliant, funny, and totally in love couple.  And I have to give them mad credit for their positive attitudes during their engagement session!  As we parked our cars for the session, it started raining.  They decided to carry on, and it stopped after about 15 minutes and we had a […]

I love getting to be present at such cool weddings like Paul + Anita’s.  That’s one of my favorite parts of this job– to do something a little different every day.  One request they had– that I had to keep it a secret!  They weren’t inviting anyone really- just a very few family members– just […]

For the third year, I’ve been honored to photograph this sweet family!  The Green’s are on the go with boys just two years apart!  Each year it gets a little more challenging to keep the boys’ attention, but every year the results get that much sweeter.  Snuggling with mama, playing with daddy– these boys are full […]

What better place to have your engagement session that the same area where you’re getting married!  When Brianna mentioned doing their session on Fort Monroe, I was all in.  It has perfect lighting and a variety of locations and backgrounds.  There is so much packed into one little area!  And Mason + Brianna are pure […]

There are so many wonderful things I could say about these two.  They have some of the biggest hearts you’ll ever meet!  They’re kind, welcoming, and really go out of their way to make people feel loved.  A few months ago we met up to visit their wedding location, but stopped for lunch first.  Due to […]

We woke up crazy early that morning in Sofia, Bulgaria, still jet-lagged, but filled with nervous excitement.  Honestly, I still felt like a fraud.  We had this huge support system back home rooting for us, yet we were just regular people.  We’d spent 8 months fundraising and working like mad to prove to two countries that […]

It’s hard to believe, but this was our first time at Ford’s Colony Country Club for a wedding!  We’d done a family session there before, but never experienced their gorgeous space for a wedding.  A stunning indoor space for the ceremony, a separate indoor space for the reception, and plenty of natural light in both? […]

We held our breath as the rain poured down.  I watched the weather forecast like a hawk, and it seemed that maybe, just maybe it would stop raining just long enough to take some portraits outside.  Shannon’s smile never faded, though— she was thrilled it was her wedding day, and there were so many gorgeous […]
