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’m so excited to photograph Will & Mallory’s wedding later this year!  They are so easy going and don’t seem stressed by anything, even though they’re planning a Virginia wedding from South Carolina.  And in meeting some of their sweet family, oh, I just can’t wait for the wedding day.  We’re doing their photography & […]

I met this sweet couple over a bowl of punch at a Halloween party.  I hit it off with the bride immediately and when she found out I was a photographer she told me she was getting married the next year!  Let’s just say the rest was history.  Here’s a peek into their wedding day. […]

Sometimes all you wants is a few cute pictures of your family, and a few times during the year I offer mini-sessions for just this reason! If you don’t have kids, or your kids are old enough to follow directions well in pictures, you can get quite a bit done in a 15 minute mini […]

Once upon a time I offered a free session to a school as a gift for teacher appreciation.  The sweetest teachers assistant won it & two years later, I ended up photographing her daughters wedding!  Since I already knew her parents were awesome from their anniversary session (her dad even sends me home with the […]
