There are a lot of traditions surrounding a wedding that have interesting beginnings. A bride and groom not seeing each other before the ceremony dates back to when most marriages were arranged and seeing each other before the ceremony gave the two a chance to change their minds. But just like a lot of wedding […]

Have you ever known that you were right, but everyone who mattered to a situation insisted you were wrong?  But you stand up for what you know, you push through… and still people lie to your face.  You carefully take every step to make things right, but still, you’re considered crazy and annoying and there […]

Sarah from Wishery Entertainment contacted me about this session and I was pumped!  They just released a brand new original Unicorn Princess!  That’s definitely something my 6 year old, Hazel, would flip out over.  We’ve had a costumed character (from Princess and the Frog) at one of her birthdays before, and it definitely brought a magical aspect […]

I’m going to be bold and tell you this was our very first Indian wedding.  We’ve done Jewish weddings before, but have certainly never mixed the two.  There were SO many differences from our typical wedding day, we made sure to go the extra mile and familiarize ourselves with all the customs and traditions that […]

When cultures and families come together to celebrate a wedding, there’s this electricity in the room that you can’t describe. There was an incredible amount of love, tradition, and respect for both the bride and groom’s culture on this gorgeous day. It was such an honor to be a part of each moment of this […]

A quick engagement session in her parents backyard before their engagement party was perfect for Mike + Leslie!  I love that I got to meet their families before the wedding day– they are such a fun crowd, and the wedding is going to be awesome! Because this was in Leslie’s parents backyard, I had no […]

I don’t know how we get so consistently lucky with the couples we work with, but we always have awesome brides and grooms!!  I could have chatted with Joseph + Lydia all day.  They are sweethearts, and absolutely head over heels for each other.  Their engagement session was at Fort Monroe– the same place they […]

We met Maxine, this bright ray of sunshine earlier this year.  She puts her heart and soul into her business, and it definitely shows!  I’ve talked before about how outsourcing your home cleaning is a game-changer, and Maxine’s company, Colonial Cleaning is where we turn for that service. So I was super excited to take some […]

Around this time last year I was photographing Drew + Eden’s maternity session, and here we are already with Malia’s first birthday pictures!  We went to downtown Hampton and Malia took a nap on the way. She was so sweet when she woke up though, and although sleepy, she started to let her personality shine […]

Nothing puts a bigger smile on my face than when clients come back for more!  I met Camille and her family when her son, Will, married Mallory.  Camille designed this incredible rehearsal dinner (click here to see pictures!), and then of course we were there for Will + Mallory’s wedding day, covering both photo + […]
