Ohhhh, this senior session. Right when I met Emily, I could just tell she had the sweetest heart. She is SO much fun and rocked an incredible red lip color so, right when she walked in the studio, her bubbly personality and style instantly made us BFFS 🙂 Not only is she absolutely BEAUTIFUL, but […]
And I’m back again with another one of my incredible spokesmodel’s senior sessions-YAY!!! I get more excited every time 🙂 Last week, I had the opportunity to work with Shelby for her senior session and she chose SUCH a great time of year!! The cherry blossoms weren’t bloomed any longer, but we found some BEAUTIFUL […]
Allie + Ashton kickstarted the 2016 engagement season with a bang!!! We shot on Ashton’s parent’s beautiful farm property in Fredericksburg…it was amazing!

She had just come home from a coaching session with a photographer that we both love and adore, and that photographer suggested that she reach out to me about potentially being my second shooter for the year. At the time, I was actually […]
If you follow me on Instagram or we’re friends on Facebook, you probably saw that Drew and I were in the BAHAMAS last week!!! Not only did we have the opportunity to shoot an incredible wedding day (which will be on then blog TOMORROW!), but we took an entire week off and extended our trip into a […]
Have I talked about my 2016 spokesmodels enough over the past few weeks!? 🙂 I don’t think so…I could talk about these girls forever and never get tired of it! I have such an incredible team of girls this year and I am SO sad that it’s almost time for them to be graduating and off […]
