I can’t even begin to describe how much fun this session was! I’ve known Gwen since my freshman year and I was SO excited when she texted me about doing her senior photos in DC! I had never been to see the cherry blossoms before (and I’ve lived here for 8 years…crazy right?!) and it […]
Ahhhh! I can’t even begin to explain how much I LOVE Sarah’s senior session! Let me tell you…this girl is SO sweet and SOOO gorgeous! We met up at my house prior to her session so that she could have her hair and makeup done by Makeup by Allyson. Then, after looking through outfits and […]

I can’t even begin to tell […]

I went to visit with Brandon last fall (it was his top school, too!) and I fell in LOVE! The […]
Two weeks ago, I was scrolling through my Facebook when I saw that one of my favorite photography magazines/blogs was looking for marketing articles to feature in their next issue. I have always wanted to have an article published in this magazine, so I took a shot by submitting a pitch about how I utilize […]
I absolutely LOVE teaching and watching other photographers grow. I do not claim to know everything about photography (I’m sure I barely know the half of it!) but sharing what I DO know to help others is something I will always enjoy. Some photographers are not forthcoming with information about their business and are not always willing to […]
