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 […]

Taking Better Photos of Your Kids // Turtle & Hare Photography

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.

Stumpy Lake is situated on the edge of Stumpy Lake Golf Course, with winding trails and a scenic overlook of the lake. This was my first time having a session at Stumpy Lake, and it did not disappoint. It was the perfect little spot for Brianna’s motherhood session. Sessions with toddlers are always better with […]

Richmond Riverside Hippodrome Wedding // Anna & Reed

How many weddings end with the bride flawlessly performing “Rolling on the River” with the band to end a night of dancing? That moment perfectly wrapped up the roaring celebration of Anna and Reed.

Richmond Riverside Engagement Session // Turtle & Hare Photography

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 […]

Downtown Richmond Senior Session // Turtle & Hare Photography

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 […]
