I’m SO pumped about the last two episodes of this month!! I have so many different products and gadgets that I use every day in my business…but they didn’t all necessarily fall in the same category. I wanted a way to share these things with you (because they TRULY are game-changers in my business!), but […]
Okay, I can’t start off every single one of the posts in this series by telling you I’m excited….BUT I FREAKIN AM. I have been back and forth to Charleston so many times now, but I haven’t posted the pictures from the trips. I’ve literally been holding the pictures in this post hostage since MARCH (!!!) […]
Happy Monday, sweet friends! In this week’s episode of Happy Hour I’m sharing another “what’s in my bag” video – but this time for weddings!

Ya’ll…I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING. Just in case you missed THIS post two weeks ago…my family and I are moving to CHARLESTON! As this post goes live, I have 15 days left in Virginia.

We had chatted over email quite a bit about their upcoming 2020 wedding, and we had to reschedule this shoot a few weeks ago because of the weather. But, last week, we had the PRETTIEST […]
Ya’ll, it’s another new month which means another new topic!!! My family and I have been counting down the days until the month of July hit because it’s the month that we MOVE!!! And, if you don’t know what I’m talking about, you should probably watch last week’s video 🙂 But we can’t believe this month […]
I had been looking forward to this wedding for so long. I first met Sam and Bryce at their Richmond engagement session last fall. They were SO sweet, and they live in the same exact apartments I lived in in Richmond for a short period! We had a blast together at their engagement session and I […]
I don’t even know if I have the words to start this blog post. I just loved this wedding SO much for so many reasons!!! I had not met Colleen and Michael before this past weekend. But, they decided to honor their Catholic upbringing and local Maryland family by having a special Catholic ceremony on […]
