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 […]

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 […]

This is the story of Zeb & Tommi’s whimsical countryside wedding at the Williamsburg Winery in Williamsburg, VA. There couldn’t have been a more perfect location, on a more perfect day, with THE perfect couple! Zeb & Tommi have a magical fairy tale love story that was celebrated and brought to life on their wedding […]

Four years ago I told my family we were having family pictures made.  I told them to wear blue, white, or khaki in any combination. My dad threatened to wear a blue Hawaiian shirt.  I said, “great!”  He was taken aback, thinking I’d be upset that he was trying to ruin the pictures.  The thing […]
