For our personal family photos I organize them by month on my computer.  Sometimes I’ll get to the end of the month and realize that I don’t have any photos from that month other than from my iPhone.  It’s a shame, really, when I’m a photographer & there’s no evidence in our personal life.  So […]

Photographing families sounds easy, but the more kids you throw in the pile, the more difficult it can be!  There are a lot of articles out there with suggestions like bringing snacks, toys, etc.  Those are all great ideas that I highly encourage, but today I want to share some fresh suggestions specifically for photographers.  […]

Say hello to these sweet kiddos!  Their parents are some of our best friends here in Virginia & I’ve been so excited to photograph them now that they’ve got a little brother! When it comes to photographing kids, experience is key.  Every kid is different, and depending on the ages, you never quite know what […]

I know, I know, we’re always so excited to share a new highlight film with you… but we really are!  And this one is a little different– it’s our Wedding Film package with a rehearsal dinner add-on, which means it is longer than a highlight film!  The longer time frame gives us more time to […]

I love when a simple wedding has elegance, and that’s exactly how I would describe Scott & Sharon’s wedding!  They picked a few details that were important to them & did them well.  Also, I never realized how much I love the pink blush color for weddings.  I tend to go for bold colors myself, […]

You know those people who make you feel more sophisticated just because you’ve been around them?  For me, that’s anyone with a British accent.  And since I know very few people with British accents… it’s the Everard family.  It’s not just because of their accents, though.  They are just a very clean, well-put-together family!  Quite […]

Back when we first started turning this photography hobby into a business, I decided to do family pictures with one of my favorite photographers in my hometown– Blue Frame Photography.  They’re a husband & wife team that I met in college & they ended up buying a house right down the road from us shortly […]

My parents were both military kids who met in Hawaii, got married on Hickam AFB, and moved to my hometown, where they’ve stayed in the same zip code for 41 years!  I grew up around the American Legion, but my military knowledge was extremely limited when I moved here 3.5 years ago.  I’ve been learning […]

I wasn’t sure if the kids were too young to enjoy much at Virginia Living Museum in Newport News, but turns out, they offer things for a wide variety of ages!  These two cousins enjoyed looking at the animals, playing zookeeper, and snoozing in the planetarium.  We originally went because they have a dinosaur exhibit, […]

This wedding was all about the details!  There were sunglasses & coozies for all the attendees, thousands of rose petals covering the aisles, monogrammed robes & personalized bags for the bridesmaids, bubbles, glowsticks, and two amazing choreographed dances, all mixed in with a hundred other beautiful details.  It was completely breathtaking and so neat to […]
