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 […]
There was an 80% chance of storms all day long on Rebecca and Brian’s big day. There had been articles in the news and warnings about the severe weather that was supposed to hit our area. We were fully prepared to shoot a wedding in a monsoon…but the rain never came. The clouds rolled in […]

Kathleen + Matt’s wedding day is one that I was looking forward to for quite some time!! Not only were they getting married at the gorgeous Trump National Golf Course, but they are just the SWEETEST couple and I knew their day was going to be amazing from beginning to end. And I was definitely […]

She had just come home from a coaching session with a photographer that we both love and adore, and that photographer suggested that she reach out to me about potentially being my second shooter for the year. At the time, I was actually […]
After a morning full of rain and clouds, the sun began to shine right as Drew + I pulled into Kelsie’s driveway. We knocked on the door and were immediately greeted with squeals of excitement + so much love! The room was buzzing with happiness + the day couldn’t have been off to a better […]
