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 […]

A few weeks ago I was at a Peninsula Pilots game with my church and the lady in front of me introduced herself.  “Hi, I’m Wendy.  You’re doing my family pictures next week!”  Let me tell you– that is the coolest thing ever.  I knew we went to the same church, but I’d never met […]

Last night I posted this picture on Instagram while in the middle of a paleo freezer meal frenzy.  Since then I’ve been inundated with messages & posts asking for recipes & how we went about it!  I started writing a post a few months ago but I ended up too overwhelmed & never finished it.  […]

For the last 15 days we’ve had various family members in town.  Most people would be pretty worn down at this point, but we absolutely love having family visit us!  All of our immediate families live close to each other so it’s more practical for us to visit them on holidays and such.  But… it’s […]

Earlier this year I met with Amanda Hedgepeth to pick her brain on workflow, getting published, and business in general.  She is awesome & totally a wealth of information!  She’s a busy momma as well, so I knew she’d have some great ideas to speed up my workflow– and she totally did!  Two words: Photo […]
