This season of engagements and seniors is always my favorite time of year!!! SO many gorgeous graduates and so many of my beautiful couples preparing to tie the knot…it’s such a time of joy and celebration! Allie and Mike’s engagement session in downtown Fredericksburg could not have been more fun. The entire week had been […]
Last week, our local Tuesdays Together group met for our monthly get-together. But, this time, we hosted a STYLED SHOOT with incredible Fredericksburg creatives from our group!!! Vendors from all over the area with all different businesses came together to collaborate on a stunning shoot that could NOT have been better! These ladies (and gentlemen) ROCKED […]
These two beautiful love birds traveled all the way from Kentucky for their engagement session!!! I was pretty nervous the week of their session for a few reasons: 1.

We dove into business basics + technical camera knowledge to kickstart her senior + wedding photography business. We spent two hours in the studio covering TONS of amazing information, and then we headed out […]
