I got to spend a portion of my week with the beautiful Miss Savannah – what an absolute HONOR this shoot was!! And in the height of spring azalea season!? THE BEST. Brittni was recently crowned as the woman to represent the gorgeous city of Savannah, GA – and we did a photoshoot to celebrate! […]
Getting to photograph another photographer is always SUCH an incredible honor. But, getting to go back to Fredericksburg and do it in the town that I began my business in was even more special!!! Emma Jo is a college senior that graduates this year. She is also a photographer based in North Carolina…and she traveled […]
