This blog post is so special…mostly because it’s my two favorite humans on the planet!!! They celebrated their 27th (!!!) anniversary a little over a week ago, but we were in the height of the move to Charleston and waist-deep in boxes. For the last 3 years, I have been photographing their anniversary portraits…and I […]
My LAST senior session in Virginia. WHAT!?!? The blog posts this week all have the same theme…because they are all my LAST work captured in Fredericksburg, VA before I moved to Charleston over the weekend. I clearly still haven’t even wrapped my mind around it!! Lauren and her mom were so wonderful and flexible with […]
Gahhh, THIS DAY!!! This wedding was my last wedding in Fredericksburg before moving to Charleston, SC. I literally packed everything up and left the NEXT morning at 8am!!!

This post is so fun for me to be sharing!!! My sweet little sister Abby turned 14 over the weekend. Even though we are in the midst of moving to Charleston (her birthday was the day before the movers came!), we still wanted to make her birthday SO special. Birthdays have been and always will […]
This is easily going to be my favorite post from the “Charleston-Bound” series. Because I truly thought it was one I was never going to get to type! You can read part 1 HERE and part 2 HERE to catch up if you don’t know what I’m talking about. In the last post, I left things […]
As this post is going live, there are movers at my house packing up everything we own to head down to Charleston this week! AH!!! Kaitlyn’s senior session is one of my LAST senior sessions in VA…which is absolutely crazy to me!! The day of her shoot was a steamy 100 degrees and the humidity […]
