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 […]

Growing up, vacations weren’t a big thing.  When possible, we’d drive to Florida to see my mom’s family for a week, but that wasn’t possible every year.  The first time I stayed in a hotel with my family was on my 13th birthday when my grandfather was inducted at the State Commander for the American […]

When Melissa first contacted me to take photos of her family on vacation my jaw fell open.  I tried to play if off totally cool, but she is a fantastic wedding photographer in DC, and she asked me to take her family photos?  Way cool! Getting there, on the other hand, was quite a feat! […]

You might recognize this couple from their wedding last year!  Nicole sent me an email awhile back to schedule this session & I got so excited!  I love working with families year after year- it is so fun to see them grow and change. As I was driving to their session, something occurred to me.  […]

Loving parents, pony rides, and dirt… is there anything that can make a first birthday party better?  The Reuters had a fun birthday party not just for the kids, but for the adults as well!  Check out their highlight film: Branson’s Birthday Party from Fowler Studios on Vimeo.

After such a snow-filled winter this year, which immediately turned into a blazing summer spring, I think we were all a little terrified of what summer would bring weather-wise!  I have to say, I’ve been pleasantly surprised!  It’s almost as if spring & summer switched with each other this year.  Sure, it’s hot, but not […]
