Why do an in home photo session? It’s excellent for making your kids feel comfortable. It’s also a great way to document your life as it’s happening right now. We get the nice family photos, but we also get the kids playing with their favorite random toys, goofing off on their bikes, and of course […]

Watching couples go from engaged to married to parents is such a treasure. We get to know each other so well during the wedding planning process, and low key I always hope to be called back for family photos in the future! Plus, I get to snuggle sweet newborns in the process!

In fourteen years of photographing weddings, I still maintain that each wedding is unique. Sure, if you look at the colors or flowers or decor, there are common themes and traditions. For me, I see all the planning- all the meticulous choices the bride and groom have made for them and their guests to enjoy. […]

While Maggie didn’t specifically plan for it, her and Garrett’s wedding landed on the perfect weekend to enjoy all the tulips in Colonial Williamsburg! Tulips lined the garden area where they said I do in front of their closest friends and family, and then we headed off in a horse drawn carriage to take their […]

Springtime at Norfolk Botanical Garden is a truly magical experience. The gardens are awash with color and fragrance, and every turn reveals a new delight. It was the perfect setting for Kenzie and Christian’s engagement session this April. As a photographer, I am always on the lookout for the perfect backdrop, and the gardens did […]

This year was weird. We all know it, we all lived it, and we all have our own stories. Our behind the scenes post really shows it this year, and I’ve never had more variety to share with you! Less people = less chance of contracting COVID, so by nature we had to pare our […]

It’s hard to separate weddings from the rest of the world sometimes. I do love that weddings are kind of a fairy tale day where you leave everything behind… but for some couples that just isn’t possible (hurricane season anyone?). Amidst this wild and wonderful time, we’re all embracing the change while craving normalcy. Stephanie […]

We moved to Virginia in 2010 and after a few moves, we settled in Hampton as our home. Something about Hampton called to us and made us feel so welcome. We couldn’t quite put our finger on it but it was close to Josh’s job so it made sense. It didn’t take long living here […]

Sometimes I shy away from blogging about things because I feel like I’m not qualified enough to talk about the subject. I don’t want to give tips on running a successful business because I only have experience from my own life. Marketing is the same—I know what has worked for us, but that doesn’t mean […]

6 years ago when we moved to this area, we had the privilege of getting to know the Saunders Family. While we didn’t become acquainted right away, we were constantly hearing about how great this family was, how giving they were, and how much they cared about investing in the lives of others. How did we […]
