Marshall | Sandy Bottom Nature Park Mini-Session

This little ray of sunshine celebrated his birthday with a sunshine filled photo session!  I absolutely adore his cheesin’ smile and personality!  And… bubbles.  And that blonde hair and blue eyes.  My heart!!  Mini-sessions are perfect for times like this.

She Speaks Stories LIVE! | Podcast Recording Event at The Glasgow Farm

I’m a huge fan of the She Speaks Stories podcast, and their raw honesty and reverence in every episode. I cry just about every episode, too!  A few months back, they told this incredible story of a barn where God made miracles happen, and then they announced that they’d use the barn for the first live […]

The Insurance Battle | A super personal post you may want to skip right over…

SHAOLI + ALEX WEDDING FILM | HILTON NORFOLK THE MAIN, NORFOLK, VA

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 […]
