While we were in Eastern Europe a few weeks ago, we had a lot less internet than we expected.  But the Kavanagh family was so patient with me and we ended up scheduling their Virginia Beach vacation photo session from overseas!  And then when we got off the plane in Dulles I received an email […]

When you think of a wedding day, you think of every detail being perfect.  The bride gets a manicure and pedicure to prepare for the big day, hair and makeup are carefully applied that morning, and the dress was picked out months ago.  But there was one detail that no one saw coming at Morgan […]

This little boy– he’s been on this earth for 3 years and we only found him 8 months ago.  During those three years, he’s had 4 major surgeries and countless doctor appointments.  $19,000 into this process, we finally got to meet him last week and it was nothing short of amazing.  In a few more months, […]

One of the biggest compliments in this business is when a family loves their photo session so much they send friends our way and come back themselves!  I first met Adam during the Meade’s family session last fall, and now he’s headed into his senior year.  We met at City Center for his senior pictures which is […]

A few weeks ago we set a goal of photographing 35 families over the next 4 months.  These two sweeties were the first family in that group and we couldn’t think of a better way to kick it off.  Often you see kids this age have a bit of sibling rivalry but not these two– they […]

Kelly + Nick have been dating for 6 years– since 10th grade!  They are so sweet, and despite really looking forward to their engagement photos, they were so kind to let me reschedule after I hurt my back really bad a few weeks ago– I couldn’t even stand up the day of their original session! […]

There are occasionally weddings where every element is perfect.  The weather cooperates, the venue is outstanding, the scenery breathtaking, and the couple are calm and collected the whole day.  That is exactly how I would describe Sarah + Tim’s wedding day last Saturday!  It was absolute perfection from the beginning to the end.  I got […]

One of the best features of our wedding films is that no two are alike.  It was a tad difficult at first, to explain the end product to potential brides, because we couldn’t say, “These exact pieces will be in your final film.”  Instead, our wedding highlight films are built on a lot of trust […]

You’re going to flip over this wedding.  The details, the absolutely stunning bride and groom.  I absolutely adore the long bridesmaid dresses mixed with the pop of color in their bouquets! Caitlyn + Sean had the best time on their wedding day, and you can see it all over their faces.  They loved having their […]

Bridal portraits are fun and challenging!  They’re fun because, hello, you have a gorgeous bride in front of you and a full hour to take portraits of just her!!  Challenging because… well, she is your only subject, and she’s wearing a dress that is very important to her… and you have to make sure to […]
