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, […]

I can’t even believe how many extended family sessions we’ve been able to do this year!  It’s such a cool thing to experience.  All these families coming together- they have different things going on in life, different hopes and dreams, but they’re all family and have that tie that binds them together.  I love that. […]

Sweet, adorable, kind… I could go on and on about Lindsay + Matt!  They’ve already gone through a lot of life together, and they’re ready to take on their new adventure as a married couple next fall!  These two are hilarious, too.  I feel like we spent half the session talking, but it only makes […]

When their daughter turned one, the Chubricks hired me to do a family session to remember that special time.  And then again when she turned two, and then when their son was born, and every birthday for the kids after that.  They grow so fast those first few years, and I love that I was able […]

I have to admit, there are a few butterflies in my stomach when I show up to large family sessions.  I absolutely love them, but… what if all the family members are high drama?  Or what if they are all annoyed that they’re having to do family pictures?  It’s a wild card, and you never […]
