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 […]

A few weeks ago we showed you these pictures from the coolest sweet 16 I’d ever seen, and today we’re sharing the video!  We can’t even say how much we love covering photo and video for a wedding or event.  It really brings everything together and makes it a total package! Venue: Virginia Beach Resort Hotel […]
