Welcome to the blog

This is the stuff, guys. The stuff that sets my soul on fire. Maria reached out to me after I commented on her post in an elopement facebook group. I’m a member of a few of those groups, and rarely shoot my shot because those posts searching for photographers usually get over 100 comments. So […]

Isn’t that what we all want? To do the job that we love- and to do it for clients who appreciate our expertise and view us as a friend- not just a business transaction? It really is the dream, and when you’re starting out, getting those consistent dream clients feels like stepping into a black […]

Do you ever meet someone and just think, “these are my kind of people”? You meet and you immediately feel like you’ve already been friends? That’s how Audrey and James made me feel when I met them at their engagement session. For me, engagement sessions have the potential to be more intimidating than a wedding […]

Offering boudoir is something I’ve always wanted to do, and I’m SO excited for it.  I have struggled with body image for most of my adult life, and honestly, now more than ever. This past winter, one of my closest friends and I swapped boudoir sessions at a little AirBnb in Richmond. I hoped that […]

Roman and I had so much fun with Kristin, Noah, and their families and friends. It was one of those wedding days that just never felt like work. We talked about how awesome they were the whole way home, and I couldn’t wait to start editing their pictures! We met Kristin and Noah at their […]

Another session at Stony Man in the books! I could shoot here for the rest of my life and be content, I swear! Annabelle booked me for their wedding before even setting a date because they were so excited to start planning this session! We immediately started planning their adventure engagement session in Shenandoah National […]

The Yorktown Battlefields have always been one of my all time favorite places to shoot. I realize that to someone who isn’t from this area, that might sound strange! But for most of the year you can always find that tall grass that when the sun hits it, creates MAGIC. It’s just so perfect, despite […]

The only thing I’d change about our wedding day is that it could’ve lasted a little bit longer. My last post left a lot of uncertainties. There was a lot up in the air when it came to our wedding thanks to Covid. We weren’t sure if we’d postpone to next year, wait until the […]

So I plan my blog posts out weeks, sometimes MONTHS, in advance… and I plan them around shoots and weddings. WIth all of the cancellations going on right now due to… you know what… I had to completely rework my blog schedule! Today was supposed to be an engagement session for a really sweet couple […]

Wedding planning. It’s a lot to take on. And how are you supposed to know how to plan a wedding if you’ve never planned one before?! It’s not always in the budget to have a  fancy planner do all of this for you… or maybe you just want to make sure your day is approved […]
