,   As I sit here to write this blog post I have a hundred things to say about this beautiful wedding and no idea where to begin!! For instance, the amount of thought and detail that went into this entire day ~ whew!! So much beauty you won’t want to miss!! Abby and Hunter […]

  This day was definitely one to remember!! It was the first time I was able to capture a wedding at the beautiful Williamsburg Inn and I couldn’t have worked with a more “in love” couple!! This day was long overdue and after a wedding date change, Amanda and James shared their vows in front […]

  It’s not often I do pregnancy announcement sessions, but when I do… they usually involve lots of excitement!!! This time it was mainly from little miss Addy Mae who is being promoted to BIG SISTER!! I’ve had the privilege of capturing this family for almost 3 years now and somehow each one is more […]

  September 4th included unending smiles, joyful laughter, and the most beautiful weather for Michelle and Drew’s rustic, elegant outdoor wedding!! This couple was seriously so much FUN!!! The way they looked at each other all day, giddy and smiling, was one of the best experiences. After being around them you’d instantly feel their genuine […]

Clients turned into sweet friends. That is exactly what comes to mind of when I think of Ashley and Ben. What started out with meeting to potentially photograph their wedding has led to an engagement session, TWO weddings (thanks COVID for the extra fun), maternity, and now documenting this next journey of life ~ parenthood, […]

  This beautiful day was held at The Onley Place in Belvidere North Carolina. With an amazing field backdrop, flowers in bloom, and red barn, this was the perfect location for Abby and Kansas’s rustic summer wedding. On what may have felt like the hottest day of the year, these two showed nothing but poise […]

Senior sessions – a time to reflect on how far you’ve come, all that you’ve accomplished and embrace how bright your future looks! Berkley was sooo much fun to work with. One of those people you could just tell she had a pure and genuine heart. Her smile was infectious!! Had the best time laughing […]

What do you do when the forecast calls for 70% chance of rain on the day of your engagement pictures?? You TRUST your photographer!!! Thankfully this couple did just that, giving us the chance to make a little magic happen during the misty rain at the cutest location in Newport News!! Caitlyn and Harrison are […]

  Heyyy friends!!! Ok first off… I’m a little embarrassed to admit this butttt it needs to be said. We’re almost halfway into the year and this is my FIRST published post of 2021!! Sorry y’all ~ I promise this is the start of something good 😉 However, I couldn’t have kick started my blogging […]

Well y’all…. we did it!! We’ve almost made it to the end of 2020!! If I truly sit down to try and think of all this year has brought I honestly can’t wrap my head around it. Pandemic, politics, social distancing, masks, etc. These are all words that will forever “brand” this year. But I […]

  How often do you get to marry your best friend?? Ok now ~ how often do you get to do it TWICE??? Annnddd in the same year?!?! Well that’s exactly what Ashley and Ben did! When COVID started rocking the wedding industry, forcing 2020 couples to make hard decisions Ashley and Ben, decided to […]

  Brandon and Kristin’s wedding day included all the fall and rustic vibes.  These are two of the sweetest, most genuine people and were sooo excited to get married. Their initial wedding plans may have changed due to COVID but I truthfully don’t think their day could have been any better! With their closest family […]

  From their Williamsburg engagement session to their Founder’s Inn wedding, Chris and Tara showcased nothing but genuine love for one another. Like many others, they were hit with having to rearrange their original wedding plans due to COVID. However, their desire to continue on with their marriage and become husband and wife never altered. […]

  This amazing couple is officially MARRIED!!! Schuyler and Elizabeth had the most beautiful day in Hampton at the Historic Post Office. This was a brand new venue for me and y’all I can say without a doubt that I am in LOVE! Not only was it a great location but an even sweeter couple […]

  When I initially met Tyler and Hannah last year, we had NO CLUE what the future had in store for them. Unfortunately like many other couples, they fell victim to the dreaded wedding replanning due to COVID-19. However, they both handled all of the changes with nothing but grace, patience, and perseverance!! This wedding […]

  Thankful to have been able to host the second annual ~ Sunflower Minis in good ol’ Suffolk, VA!! Last year the field was pretty awesome because it was my first time shooting there. However, this year definitely topped it! Not only were the sunflowers amazingly beautiful (again!), but they also made the perfect backdrop […]

What are your initial feelings when you think – “Lets take family portraits”?? Most of us cringe at the thought! But don’t worry – I get it!! There are soooo many things to plan, it can be stressful, and then when the time comes you don’t even know if your family will be cooperative. Well… […]

Brandon and Kristin’s love for one another truly shines throughout all of their engagement photos. Stick around to see more from our time together and find out a little […]

  Two days before this wedding, the forecast called for 60-80% chance of rain. This sweet couple already had to change their venue due to covid-19, and greatly decrease the amount of guests who would attend. However, this intimate backyard wedding has quickly become one of my favorites because not only did it, NOT rain. […]
