Have you ever seen such bright, joyful outfits on such bright, joyful people!? Because I don’t think I have!!! Megan and I went to high school together (she was a year below me and we were in the same drama class!) and I always thought she was just the cutest thing. She is now a […]
Mackenzie inquired with me shortly after Brian proposed. Her email said that she had told Brain weeks before that, whenever they got married, she wanted me to be a part of their special day…she just had no idea how soon it would be!!! Brian proposed in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris (DREAM come […]

Even though it was over 80 degrees, Allysa and Nathan’s wedding felt like my first “real” fall wedding of the year!! The beautiful berry tones and navy dresses combined with the changing leaves made it fall-lovers dream come true. I first met Allysa at my studio last year for our consultation. She told me all […]
Brooke and Sidnie are both so stinking precious! They are members of my 2018 spokesmodel team and I had so much fun at their senior sessions last week! Brooke’s mom joined us as we explored some of my favorite Fredericksburg locations (including some I haven’t photographed in quite awhile!) They both have their own unique […]
