The Russo Family | Little Island Park, Sandbridge, VA

When you treat people right, they send their friends your way!  In May I photographed this family at Buckroe Beach, and they in turn referred this sweet family to me who was vacationing in Sandbridge, just south of Virginia Beach.  Sessions with little boys on vacation can be difficult.  They’re gung ho for exactly 3.5 […]

July 10, 2009: Planting a Seed for Fowler Studios

I didn’t know it that day, but that’s the day a seed was planted for Fowler Studios.  I was in Brunswick, GA on a business trip when my mom called and told me my nieces had been born… three months early.  One passed away shortly after birth and the other was tiny, but a fighter.  Kyah […]

Katie + Matt’s Backyard Wedding | Mathews, VA Wedding Photographer

The Dawes + Bouthillet Families | Lions Bridge, Newport News Family Photographer

I’ve been itching to get this family in front of my lens for awhile now, but it’s tough when they don’t all live in the same state, and they all live very busy lives!  We started the session with Ann and her grandchildren– aren’t they all incredibly good looking???  They were all so sweet together and love […]

Mary + Kelly | Norfolk Church Wedding | St. Pauls Episcopal Church

One of the things that stands out most to me about Mary + Kelly is their zeal for life.  They are all in, all the time.  They love each other fiercely, celebrate friendships and family, and they don’t care so much about the status quo.  Their wedding was packed with a receiving line, a sword […]

Julia + Derek’s Wedding | Hermitage Hills Farm and Stables

To be truthful, every time someone books us for anything, we’re kind of blown away.  It seems silly since this is our full time income and we stay booked, but we really are in awe that we get to do this for a living!  But when another photographer recommends us for a wedding?  Then we’re […]

Jacob + Mary Margaret | The Mill at Fine Creek, Powhatan, VA | Deluxe Highlight Film

Today’s post comes from Josh: You may or may not know this about me, but I tend to oversell things. I get really hyped up about something; I think it’s the best thing ever, and then everyone and their brother has to know about it. And, it isn’t just good, it’s usually “UNBELIEVABLE!” This is […]

We’ve been looking forward to Kristina + Lando’s engagement session for awhile now, and then had to be rescheduled because of rain and high winds… so when we finally met at Yorktown Beach with the most beautiful weather and golden sunset, it was a dream! With each session, I always have something I’m working on, […]
