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 […]

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 […]

Seven years ago we were brand new in town. I had to travel back to Asheville, NC for a wedding and I absolutely dreaded making the trip by myself. I barely knew Amanda, but she offered to take a week off work and travel with me. She knew no one in my hometown and had […]

There are some wedding days that go so smoothly, it truly feels like a dream.  Mak + Samantha’s day was definitely one of those kinds of days!  Her mom + bridesmaids helped her get dressed, they exchanged vows at the First United Methodist Church next door, then walked right back over for their reception.  Their […]

This sweet family was full of smiles and giggles, and their son certainly gave me a run for it!  Mini sessions like this one are perfect for families with young children.  It gives you a chance to get a family photo, but not too much time that your kids lose interest.  They specifically chose this […]

I’ve actually lost count on how many family sessions I’ve done with the Chubricks, but I think we’re at 11!  This family is pure joy, and watching these kids grow up is incredible.  This year, their daughter was really into photography, so I let her take a few photos during the session.  We also found […]

Nathan + Ali lit up Downtown Hampton in this fun engagement session!  I love how we included some iconic pieces of Hampton in the mix!  The Virginia Air + Space Center was a great backdrop, then we moved on to the Carousel.  It’s 97 years old and completely restored– it’s beautiful!  And the colors mixed with […]

What better place to have your engagement session that the same area where you’re getting married!  When Brianna mentioned doing their session on Fort Monroe, I was all in.  It has perfect lighting and a variety of locations and backgrounds.  There is so much packed into one little area!  And Mason + Brianna are pure […]

There are so many things to love about the Donatelli family, and I am so thankful that I get to photograph them year after year!  We’ve done a family session, a wedding, now a senior session, and there’s already a family session on the books for later this year! Sam is awesome. He’s got a […]

I’m a big fan of extended family sessions, and I get to do them several times a year, which thrills me!  Let’s face it– getting everyone dressed and in the same location for photos is basically a miracle.  And for this family, an ocean was crossed in order to make this happen! I’ve known Alicia (in […]
