I had been looking forward to this senior session for SO LONG! Maddie reached out to me about wanting to travel into town to capture her senior portraits here in Fredericksburg. She lived over two hours away in a small town AND she was a photographer herself. Talk about feeling HONORED to be chosen to […]

Week number THREE of May is here! So far, we have broken down two of my favorite lenses: the 35mm lens and the 100mm macro! Today, I want to break down a lens that is NEW in my collection: the Canon 24-70mm lens! This lens has been SO fun to play with and add to […]

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. […]

I had done a handful of college seniors in the […]

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 […]

Build Your Senior Photography Business

I built a six-figure photography business on my passion for senior clients - and now I help hundreds of photographers across the globe do the same!
