Tigre and Josh are just the sweetest couple. Last year, I photographed Josh’s brother’s wedding (Anna and Caleb!) and these two got engaged shortly after! After meeting Tigre and Josh at the wedding, I was SO excited to receive an inquiry to photograph THEIR big day!! I was getting more and more excited as the […]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…engagement season is in full swing and it’s my FAVORITE time of year for that reason 🙂 Especially when it includes breathtaking destination engagement sessions like Kelley and Perry’s!! We have been planning this shoot for quite a few months and Kelley worked so hard to pick the location […]
Sometimes you meet with a client and you just click…and that’s exactly how it felt when I met Amanda at my studio for the first time!! We ended up talking for quite some time and I just loved her. I didn’t get a chance to meet D’Angelo until our engagement session last week…but I had […]

The weather has not quite decided whether or not spring is here…but we had the most amazing day: 60 and sunny with just the right amount of fluffy pink blooms…it was perfect! Allysa and Nathan are such a […]
Last weekend, I had the privilege of photographing (and attending!) my sweet friend Caroline’s engagement party at Mankin Mansion in Richmond, Virginia! She is marrying the love of her life, Costa, later this year and threw an incredible engagement party to celebrate! With over 100 of her closest friends and family in attendance, she welcomed them […]
Just like that, 2016 had ended and a brand new year is here. Am I the only one who can’t quite believe time is flying by so fast!? CRAZINESS. I feel like just yesterday I was planning my goals for 2016…and now I’m doing it all over again! But, with each day I get more […]
