I can’t even tell you how excited I am to photograph Chad & Elizabeth’s wedding in June!  They are such a cute & fun couple– they make my job so easy. One of the great things about our wedding photography is that we include a complimentary engagement session!  You get 3 digital files for free […]

Remember this family?  We shared about their pregnancy announcement, gender reveal, and now their maternity photos!  This was my first time shooting in this area and like most areas near the water, it was super windy!  We used the wind to our advantage, and when we couldn’t do that, we waited for it to die […]

Being able to follow a family throughout a major life change is an honor, and with this family, I got to do their pregnancy announcement, gender reveal party, maternity, baby shower and lifestyle newborn photos!  Admittedly, the baby shower photos were a given since I hosted the shower at my house.  But still, how unbelievably […]

I like to think that I attract couples who are like me– relaxed, but fun, and although we love to have a blast, we don’t get all worked up over the little things.  That is exactly how Doug & Michele are.  They had a beautiful wedding, but their focus is definitely on their love & […]

Sometimes the best laid plans go awry.  I’d searched for the perfect place to do these headshots, sent a map to Leah, and given her directions.  One hour before the session, my husband called to say that we needed to take our car to the shop immediately.  That meant sharing a car– and he had doctor […]

Hi there!  I get it.  You’re a mom who appreciates great photography.  But dangit, it’s expensive to hire a professional photographer to follow you around all day, every day to catch wonderful candid shots of your kids! This class is for you. Or maybe you don’t have kids, but you still want to know how […]

When we first moved to Virginia 3 years ago I started searching out new photographer friends.  It’s great to have others in the industry to talk shop with, and Sarah Halstead was the first that I really got to know.  We hit it off well & she was going to do some Trash the Dress […]

Being the resident photographer among my friends means I get to design invitations & take pictures of gorgeous parties they put together!  Let me tell you, designing invitations is not my strong point, but it’s fun to play around with.  I still have a lot to learn in that area– mad props to those who […]

This couple is hilarious.  They had me laughing the whole session!  They’d be telling me a story about how they met and he would say a piece, then she would say a piece, then they’d both get quiet and laugh, and then tell the rest of the story.  It was so cute how they played […]

I often get asked who I use to make my family photo albums.  I love high quality albums, especially for weddings, but sometimes you want something a little less fancy just to put last year’s memories on paper.  For those albums, I suggest MyPublisher! I’ve used them for years.  I made my first MyPublisher album […]
