I feel like I haven’t blogged a senior session in AGES!!! Because I haven’t…it’s been over two months!! Now that seniors are heading back to school and kickstarting their last year, I call this “senior season” because I’ll be shooting and blogging senior sessions like crazy through the fall!! This year, I have 18 (yes, […]
These two cutie pies are getting married in VERMONT next year and I will never forget their very first meeting with me!! Chelsea’s inquiry to me said that they were getting married near VT…so I just assumed she meant Virginia Tech (because I photograph tons of weddings in that area!)

I absolutely LOVE […]

This go-around, we wanted the shoot to have bright, rich […]
Last week I wrapped up the last workshop of 2017 and it was bittersweet!!! Not only was it the last workshop of the year, but it was also the first workshop hosted in a venue outside of my studio!! It took place at the gorgeous Paisley and Jade space in Richmond, Virginia and I LOVED […]
I still remember my initial Skype meeting with Sarah and Ted. We talked for so long about their lives, their love and their vision for their Greenbrier wedding day. We hit it off right away, but we never got a chance to meet in person before the wedding. I always get a little nervous when […]
