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 […]

I absolutely love when couples do little things to buck tradition.  It makes my heart happy that they’re doing things their own way!  So when Rachael contacted me about her wedding on April Fools Day, I couldn’t wait!  Little did I know there would be a belly dancer there as well (scroll all the way […]
