I can’t even begin to describe how much fun this session was! I’ve known Gwen since my freshman year and I was SO excited when she texted me about doing her senior photos in DC! I had never been to see the cherry blossoms before (and I’ve lived here for 8 years…crazy right?!) and it […]
Ahhhh! I can’t even begin to explain how much I LOVE Sarah’s senior session! Let me tell you…this girl is SO sweet and SOOO gorgeous! We met up at my house prior to her session so that she could have her hair and makeup done by Makeup by Allyson. Then, after looking through outfits and […]

Wow…I can’t even describe how amazing today was! I held my very own workshop in my home (my first one!) to teach fellow young photographers about how to use their cameras and how to kick start their very own businesses! We had an amazing time and I was so blessed to be able to work with […]
Today was seriously just awesome. We put together a stylized shoot with XYZ Styling (Savannah Jolley) and had makeup done by the amazing Allyson Lagiovane. I held a model call two weeks ago and these five BEAUTIFUL girls were chosen from varying high schools to come out and model today. Let me tell you…they did […]
Ahh…finally some real snow! I can’t believe it’s still coming down! We have at least 12 inches here and they’re calling for four more by tomorrow!! I was brainstorming on what I wanted to blog today and I stumbled upon this photo…it’s from one of my favorite senior sessions last year! Sarah is absolutely gorgeous […]
