These posts are so special to me every single year. It’s one of my favorite ways to reflect on the last 365 days, and to curate the work that I’m the most PROUD of after an entire year of shooting. Every year, I curate my FAVORITE images from every single wedding, engagement and senior session […]

I have been DYING to share these photos, and it’s with good reason!!! I had the privilege of capturing Juan and Regan’s beautiful proposal at the Westin Savannah Harbor over the weekend. Quite a few months ago, my friend Kayla from high school reached out to me about photographing her friend Juan’s proposal. She told […]

I couldn’t possibly ask for a better ending to my 2022 wedding season than Holly and Dan’s gorgeous day at The Wildflower Barn! Holly and I go back quite a few years, which made this day even more special. Holly attended one of my photography workshops in early 2019. She is a photographer herself, and […]

This may be one of the most SPECIAL wedding blog posts I have ever done. Ryan is Hayden’s older brother, which means this wedding day was between my soon-to-be brother and sister-in-law!!! Their wedding celebration at Eden Try Winery in Fredericksburg was a long awaited celebration. Ryan and Sophia actually got married two years ago […]

Goodness, I truly don’t know where to begin with how much I absolutely LOVED Chloe and Jeffrey’s wedding day. I met these two cuties for their engagement session in Savannah a few months ago, and their joy was contagious the entire shoot! I knew their wedding day at Bleckley Inn would be no different. From […]

Well, we kicked off fall wedding season with a bang…because we kicked it off with Briana and Kyle’s wedding right after the HURRICANE! If you were watching the news at all last week, then you saw that Charleston got unexpectedly hit with Hurricane Ian as a Category 1. And, the storm made landfall the day […]

This blog post has been a long time coming…because this wedding day has been trying to happen since 2020!!! Hallie and Robbie booked me for their Ni River Manor wedding in Fredericksburg all the way back in 2019. After SO many reschedules, moving venues, Robbie’s crazy work and travel schedule…they were finally able to make […]

I don’t even know where to start with recapping this amazing day. There are very few weddings that I look forward to for WEEKS leading up to them…but Meredith and Mitch’s wedding was one of them! I have photographed the Melo family for years, and the fact that I felt like I was walking into […]

Build Your Senior Photography Business

I began my business during my junior year of high school, and fell in love with photography while capturing all of my peers and their senior portraits. 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! 

Free downloads, blog posts, YouTube videos, online courses and memberships... I have it a resource for you!
