Life may get messy, but we always have each other. That’s what Mikaela sent me when she was describing their plans for their first anniversary session.  Isn’t that so true?  The first year of marriage is so messy.  Getting used to the other person, combining bills, and all the other firsts.  It was the perfect […]

It’s every brides worst nightmare– rain a torrential downpour non-stop on your wedding day!  Okay, well there are a lot of things that could be way worse, and that’s exactly what Chelsea told herself over and over.  So what if you don’t get sunset pictures of your bridal party walking through the most perfect field (it’s true— we […]

I cannot tell you how excited I am for Lindsey + Jamie’s wedding this weekend!  Even though it was only a week before their wedding, we met up to do engagement photos last Thursday.  We love doing engagement sessions because it gives us a chance to work with each couple before the wedding, with a camera […]

I’ve never been the mushy type.  And when we found out four years ago we were having a baby girl, I got a bit of a bewildered look in my eyes.  Sure, my favorite color is pink, but I’m not much for princesses and stuffed animals.  My favorite Disney Princess has always been Pocahontas.  Honestly, […]

Large families have a special place in my heart, so when the Switzer family contacted me about a large family session, I was all about it!  Once we got to Little Island Park in Sandbridge, it turned out to be the most beautiful day with perfect weather.  All thirty five family members were friendly, easy […]

Brenna + Blake are the cutest couple!!  They met in middle school and started dating, and next year they’re tying the knot!  Throughout their engagement session I loved how in tune and attentive they were to each other.  They’re a great mix of young love and old familiarness and that is so beautiful.  It reminds […]

From the moment we started chatting, I could tell Julie was a details kind of gal.  And when I met her & Andy together the first time, it was so sweet because I could see how they just clicked and completed each other!  Both of them have a very warm spirit, love for details, and […]

I’ve been blessed to know the Ubele’s for 4.5 years now, and worked for them for 3 of those years!  Besides being amazing friends, they hold a special place in my heart because they have supported my business since the first day I met them.  They knew I had just moved to Virginia and was working […]

This was my third time working with the Mamot family and I absolutely love them!  For the family project, they decided to include Ashley’s parents in the session, which I think was a perfect choice.  Often, the only picture grandparents or great-grandparents get with their grandchildren are candids while sitting on the couch.  The focus […]

Wait, what?  You offer mentoring?  Yes!  But only if you ask.  I loved talking with Macy over some chicken nachos, and made sure to get a few head shots before the day was over!
