Hey ya’ll! I’m in Georgia for the week for Pursuit 31 Conference (YAY)! Please note that I will be back in my office next Monday, September 29th to catch up with emails. Although, I will be back on Thursday evening to rest before my Friday and Saturday weddings. 🙂 I have some amazing couples to […]

When we first started discussing locations of their engagement session, the first thing Kate mentioned was that she wanted to capture where Chase and her grew up. Chase grew up Charlotte and Kate grew up just around the corner from me on her family dairy farm. What a great contrast of spaces and if you remember, their […]

There’s something I love about going to a new venue. Excitement of a new space with new ideas. I also love the fact that the Winery at Bull Run is only a 30 minute drive from my home. 🙂 All a plus! What’s even better than that? My couple, Kevin and Sara! We immediately hit it […]

I met Jaafar and Bree through the amazing Kim and immediately hit it off in the middle of Starbucks! We were laughing for a straight hour that other customers were joining in on our conversation! I could tell that these two were going to have a fun wedding and ohhhh was that an understatement! So many […]

I took yesterday “mostly” off since I had a wedding Saturday/Sunday and all I can say how beneficial that was! I still blogged, caught up with emails, cleaned/cleared equipment and culled through both weddings so they are ready to edit today but more importantly, I was able to clean up my house! You know that […]

Isn’t it starting to feel like fall?! 🙂 I’ll tell you that I love every season, but there is something about fall that really makes me excited for this time of the year. Maybe it is the scarves, comfy and cute fall clothes or the boots? Maybe some yummy Pumpkin Spiced Latte from Starbucks? Maybe […]

I’ve made a previous announcement about this before, but wanted to formally announce that I’m having a “Get to Know Your Camera Workshop” next month!!! I’m SUPER pumped about this and already over half filled! Wohoo! 🙂 Which means only 3 spots left as of this time I’m typing this blog! In the past, I’ve […]

This is part I of their engagement session as we have decided to divide up their engagement portraits based off their hometowns. First special place is Charlotte, North Carolina! This is where Chase grew up, where Kate and Chase went to school, where they currently live and the place where Kate said YES! 🙂 Next […]

I arrived at the beautiful MurrayHill early seeing all of the details ready for Alicia & Keith’s arrival. I could not believe the day was here! After all, Saturday was anticipated for a long time for these two! It only felt like yesterday when we did their engagement session earlier this year … I’ll admit, it was […]

I absolutely love the countryside! What better way to show off God’s beautiful creation than to document love in the middle of nature? Not to mention the beautiful and glorious sunshine I’ve been CRAVING to have! I felt as though there was a period of time where I didn’t see sun for days during my […]
