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 […]

The Historic Post Office is a dream venue for us.  It’s gorgeous, classy, and right down the street from us!  Kelsey and the team there go the extra mile and really put people first, and that is what makes it different than just another pretty building.  When brides fell in love with the venue, but only […]

Amy + Alex are sweet and adorable and funny and… I could go on and on.  They’re perfect together.  I let them know that if they had any pets or anything they wanted to include in the engagement session, that was totally fine and sure enough… they have guinea pigs!  But not just any guinea […]

Maternity pictures in the snow? Yes, please! It’s always a little tricky to schedule though, since we don’t get a ton of snow in Virginia. And when we do get it, it melts away in a few days. Can I just say that we hit it really lucky this year? We hoped to do pictures […]

The first time I met Jenny + Ty a year ago, I assumed they had been married for years.  They were so comfortable with each other, and were both such great parents to Brayden that I had no reason to assume differently.  Except, that I kind of stuck my foot in my mouth because they […]

We love referrals!  When a previous client refers us to their friends, they also typically let them know a little bit about who we are and how we work.  It’s really great because then clients come to the session already knowing what to expect!  With the Jackson family we got a great variety of pictures […]

This is my second time photographing this sweet family— and they’ve added a new member! Owen was just two weeks old when we met at their home for a lifestyle newborn session.  What does a lifestyle newborn session include?  Lots of sweet snuggles and closeups of your newborn! We chose the room in their home […]

Photographing families in the fall is a real treasure.  When booking, you never know if you’re going to have the best weather or the worst weather, windy or no wind, and the temperature could be 35 or 70 degrees.  And everyone is hoping for gorgeous fall leaves, too!  Sandy Bottom Nature Park is a really […]

Just when we think we won’t get any creamy sunset lighting, Hampton Roads weather surprises us again!  This session started out with dreary skies and then the sun perked up and brought in that perfect shine.  This session also landed on Rachel + Tim’s one year anniversary of their engagement!  They brought their super sweet […]

Kelly + Nick have been dating for 6 years– since 10th grade!  They are so sweet, and despite really looking forward to their engagement photos, they were so kind to let me reschedule after I hurt my back really bad a few weeks ago– I couldn’t even stand up the day of their original session! […]
