Monday, January 4, 2016 I sat down in a Starbucks determined to edit an entire wedding in one day.  I succeeded!  While I was exporting some photos I took a quick break and saw the cutest little boy on Facebook.  My friend posted this alongside the picture: I have lots of friends who share posts […]

You may remember a couple of months ago that the Hampton Roads area of Virginia was supposed to get hammered with one of the nastiest hurricanes since Isabel in 2003. We narrowly dodged a bullet, but not before getting some crazy weather and a little bit of flooding. So what does this have to do […]

Believe it or not, in the 6 years we’ve lived here I’ve never photographed a session at Newport News Park!  Oh my goodness I regret not going there earlier– it’s beautiful, and so spacious.  My time spent with Abby and her mom there was quite awesome.  Abby is a senior with great style and a […]

Amy + Alex hit the jackpot when it comes to weather forecasts for the perfect fall wedding! The air was crisp but not cold, and the leaves were casually floating to the ground while we were taking portraits. I was pretty much in heaven. The deep purple bridesmaids dresses looked absolutely stunning paired with all […]

We wrote from the heart about Derrick + Kim when we shared their wedding photos here, but it seems fitting to share more.  They’re a great couple.  A power couple, who have a heart for people.  They’re both in fields where they often work with people who are stressed in the worst ways, and yet […]

Can I wave my proud mama flag for a minute?  Hazel has taken over my old point and shoot camera.  She carries it around and takes pictures of things when she finds inspiration and it’s adorable.  Every time I leave for a wedding or session she begs to come with me and help out.  She’s […]

From top to bottom, Clark + Moriah’s wedding day was all about emotions, love, laughter, and fun.   Surrounded by friends and family they said ‘I do’ in Moriah’s parents backyard in beautiful Poquoson, Virginia.  But when we say backyard wedding, it’s not what you think!  This was anything but a small gathering, and every […]

The morning of their wedding, some of Jenn + Matt’s incredibly sweet and gifted friends and family built a chapel in the backyard of the house at Belle Isle State Park.  I’d seen on our questionnaire where Jenn wrote about it, but I didn’t actually realize what all they were doing.  It was incredible!  Then the ribbons […]

Photographing families in the fall is a real treasure.  When booking, you never know if you’re going to have the best weather or the worst weather, windy or no wind, and the temperature could be 35 or 70 degrees.  And everyone is hoping for gorgeous fall leaves, too!  Sandy Bottom Nature Park is a really […]

David and Christina are real. Within minutes of meeting each of them, I could tell right away that they put up a facade for no one, and we like it that way! In all seriousness, they were by far one of the most cool and laid back couples we’ve ever had the pleasure of shooting, […]
