Earlier this week I shared a COLLEGE senior session at Mary Washington…and now I’m sharing another!! I had the privilege of traveling to George Mason University to photograph Karla’s senior session and it was SO much fun! I actually applied to George Mason 5 years ago when I was trying to make my college decisions. […]
When I opened up senior dates this year, something happened that I wasn’t expecting…I got an influx of COLLEGE senior inquiries!!! Typically, I specialize in local high school seniors, but I was regularly getting emails asking if I offered the same experience for college graduates. I had done a handful of college seniors in the […]
Oh this senior session is just to special to me!!! If you’ve been following me or reading my blog posts this year, you know that I took a break from photographing seniors last year to focus on education. This year, I am accepting senior bookings again and am already booked through almost the entire summer. […]

I’ve been SO stinking excited to share these since last week!!! Savannah and Devin chose to do their engagement session at The Market at Grelen, which is a location I had never photographed. I tend to shoot the majority of my engagement sessions in Fredericksburg, but it is always exciting to me as a photographer […]
I don’t even have enough words to explain how much I adore Jenny and Chris. When Jenny first inquired with me about a wedding in Wisconsin, I was so excited!!! She mentioned she was a photographer herself and had been following me for awhile…but I thought there was no WAY she’d want to have me […]
These are my LAST senior spokesmodel sessions for the year of 2018…SO bittersweet!!! I just adore this amazing group of ladies and have had so much fun spending the last year with them. If you’ve been following along since last year…you know that I actually wasn’t planning on doing a spokesmodel team in 2018. I […]
