Wow, Julianna and Andrew’s New Kent Winery Vineyard Estate wedding was somehow even more beautiful than I expected. Being around them is like being with family. While she was getting ready, gracious Julianna asked if I needed anything. Their wedding embodied a spirit of warmth and care for each person in attendance, even the vendors […]

I’m writing this post in celebration of Justin and Courtney’s first anniversary! A romantic garden party was the inspiration for their Whitehall Estate wedding in the beautiful foothills of Bluemont, Virginia. I first met Courtney at Martha & John’s Virginia Eastern Shore wedding, when she was a bridesmaid. It’s so fun to find connections like […]

My daughter is very used to having her picture taken, and not just because her parents are photographers. Even if parents don’t own a DSLR camera, or even a point-and-shoot camera, the era of the cell phone has brought new accessibility to photography in the home.

Opting to have both the intimate appeal of a private ceremony behind Anna’s childhood home by the James River and the […]

It doesn’t get more romantic than a sunset stroll through the park, dancing in the last sunlight streaks of the day. Morgan and John did just that, dance through this session, first at Belle Isle and then at Libby Hill. It was so fun to see them laughing and enjoying the moment. I found myself […]

We huddled under the bridge waiting for the wind and heavy rain to pass. This is not usually the description for most engagement sessions, but Julianna and Andrew were awesome despite the unexpected weather. We had just decided to find a dry place before the downpour began. Luckily, the rain clouds passed relatively quickly, and […]

Connor was ready for his senior portrait session. He came prepared with a laid back attitude, some spare outfits, and family members with jokes on hand. I mean, I also have an abundance of what I like to call “dad jokes” at my disposal, but the goal of this session was to make Connor smile, […]

Spring is here, for a few days at least. Soaking up the sun, and unavoidably, the pollen as well, is number one priority for us! This time of year always reminds me of change and growth. From blooming flowers, to an ever changing and growing daughter, I’m grateful that we don’t stay the same. I’m […]
