Kenzie + Christian | Norfolk Botanical Garden Engagement Session

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 […]

Behind the Scenes of a Weird Year: 2020

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 […]

Steph + Phil | Historic Post Office Wedding

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 […]

Home Sweet Home in Hampton

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 […]

When Facing Huge Obstacles | Personal

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 […]

Davy + Brooke | Apple Blossom Plantation Wedding, Providence Forge, VA

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 […]

Why We Do Table Shots at Weddings

Heehee– I don’t know a better way to describe it.  I promise we’re not kicking back shots on the tables at weddings!  But we do strive to take photos of the guests at each wedding, time permitting.  For photographers, this is one of the least favorite parts of a wedding day because there’s very little […]

This Is Us, Trying to Have a Chill Birthday Party

We all have our strengths and weaknesses, and it’s important to know where you shine (or don’t).  For us, we’re not good at planning small get-togethers.  Our backyard parties have an average attendance of 100 people.  Our wedding had around 300.  We love people, and it’s hard for us to pare down a guest list because our […]

Dana + Dave | Spirit of Norfolk Night Wedding

Back in the spring I got word that a bride was looking for someone to do her engagement photos– and quick!  She’d had several sessions set up that had fallen through and her fiancé was about to deploy.  We talked and she was the sweetest person ever!  She had one window of time left in their […]
