When I schedule engagement sessions during the busy season, I often schedule back-up dates as well, just in case of bad weather.  That way we aren’t scrambling for open dates every time a thunderstorm rolls in.  Rain, a hurricane, and a death in the family meant we had to reschedule three times with Courtney + Chris, […]

Despite living here for 5 years now, we first visited Charlottesville last month.  What a cool place!  We ate our hearts out in the downtown mall and walked a few blocks to a bakery. Definitely a trip we’ll have to make more often!  We’d photographed and filmed an event there, but it was indoors, so […]

When talking about locations for their engagement session, Mary told me one of their favorite places to hang out was Cogan’s Pizza in Ghent.  I’d never been before, but the whole area is just awesome, so we went for it!  The team at Cogan’s was awesome and let us take some photos on the patio, then […]

When you take good care of your clients they share your name, and that’s exactly how I ended up in Ocean City, Maryland on Monday!  After emailing for months and planning their wedding, I finally got to meet Brittany & Carl (& their sweet dog, Gus!) for the most perfect evening.  Not too hot, perhaps […]

I cannot tell you how excited I am for Lindsey + Jamie’s wedding this weekend!  Even though it was only a week before their wedding, we met up to do engagement photos last Thursday.  We love doing engagement sessions because it gives us a chance to work with each couple before the wedding, with a camera […]

Brenna + Blake are the cutest couple!!  They met in middle school and started dating, and next year they’re tying the knot!  Throughout their engagement session I loved how in tune and attentive they were to each other.  They’re a great mix of young love and old familiarness and that is so beautiful.  It reminds […]

Chelsea + David flew in Thursday night and got in bed sometime after midnight… then were at the oceanfront for their engagement session at 5:45am on Friday!  Yes, that’s quite insane, but ohmygoodness look at the pictures!  Sunrise was totally worth the sleepy yawns and coffee overdose.  😉 When we first arrived I was surprised at […]

We share a best friend and her wedding is on my birthday, so before I ever met Kim I knew I’d love her… and sure enough– I do!  Kim + Brad are a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e together- they’re sweet, make each other laugh, and by the end of the session I felt like we were old friends. In […]

I met Dana + Dave at a park on a Saturday morning and suddenly panic started to set in.  I typically chat with my couples ahead of time and make sure we’re a good fit, but with these two, time was of the essence.  We chatted on the phone briefly Thursday night and Saturday morning […]

Sarah + Ryan live in Raleigh, NC and were so sweet to come all the way to Hampton for their engagement session!  After rescheduling twice for rain, we finally got a beautiful evening on the beach for their session.  I can’t wait for their Outer Banks wedding in Spring 2016! We met at Buckroe Beach on […]
