This year, I have 18 (yes, […]
During the two-day Hope Taylor Workshops, the first day is dedicated to wedding photography while the second day is dedicated to everything senior!

I absolutely LOVE […]
This post is so bittersweet to be writing!! Last week, I had my very last photoshoot with my beautiful 2017 spokesmodel team. As they all graduate high school and prepare to head to their college homes for the next 4 years, we said “goodbye” with a fun cap and gown shoot as a team! Not […]

Do you ever have a shoot where you take the first 5 images…and you just KNOW it’s going to become a new favorite? That’s exactly how I felt within the first few minutes of Katie’s senior session! It was an 85 degree day, all of the flowers were in full bloom, Katie’s outfits were absolutely […]
Spring has officially sprung here in Fredericksburg which means it’s time for spring shooting season! Each and every year, spring is my absolute favorite time to photograph.
