Can I be honest?  I’m not exactly killing it on the recap posts from this year.  Lately it’s been all I can do just to share a few images from each session or wedding.  Fowler Studios grew so much this year, and when we grow, we like to take it slow and make sure we’re not […]

Meet Barrett.  He wasn’t supposed to be here.  His parents had prepared themselves to lose a son before ever bringing him home from the hospital.  They had mourned, grieved, and learned to celebrate the short life he was expected to have. I was there for his birth.  The morning was a mix of emotions: lighthearted […]

Don’t get too excited– they aren’t bloopers from our films, although we’re totally going to try that for next year!  But over the year we’ve saved a few of our favorite gems to show you.  Some are funny, some are technical, but all give you a behind the scenes look at what we do on […]

Alyssa + Brandon’s wedding day was definitely something special.  With golden fall leaves at rustic New Kent Winery, cowboy boots, and sunflowers, the details were just the beginning.  We love sharing wedding photos, and we shared theirs here, but there is just something magical about a wedding highlight film– it really lets you re-live the day, […]

I know I tend to think all my couples are beautiful, but look at these two.  Linda + Sean are like models!  And they were basically mind readers during our photo session.  I’d be like, “Ok, now face each other and snuggle in… Sean put your hand… oh yes, that’s perfect!”  I absolutely can’t wait for their Williamsburg […]

The Hendricksons— oh my goodness what a sweet family!  I’ve loved watching them grow over the years, and when I think back to our first photo session together I have to laugh a little.  Their son, Carter was very young– and it was one of those sessions where you do anything and everything to make […]

This family is absolutely the cutest!  As with so many sessions this fall, we got rained out for our original date, but thankfully our rescheduled day was beautiful with perfect sun filtering through the trees at City View Park in Chesapeake!  Ashley + Matt’s little guy turns one soon so family pictures and a Mickey Mouse cake smash […]

Almost a year ago Janet sent me an email telling me about her extended family coming to town for a reunion and asked about a photo session.  I was pumped!  I love large families and all the craziness that ensues when you bring everyone together.  The one unpredictable aspect was the weather.  It’s no secret looking […]

When I woke up that morning, the weather report was showing a fog advisory.  It made me a little nervous, but then as the sun rose over the Chesapeake Bay, Caitlyn + Sean were all smiles and looking fabulous.  The fog ended up settling perfectly over the parade grounds, making for amazing one-of-a-kind engagement pictures […]

The rustic charm of the flowers, the mint bridesmaid dresses, and the succulents in the brides bouquet– oh my goodness we’re just in love with every bit of Brittany + Chris’ wedding!  Despite the weather pushing their outdoor wedding inside, these two danced the night away with smiles on their faces! Many of our couples […]
