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 […]

Happy Monday! WHAT a relief it is starting to cool off! Last week I felt as if summer had just arrived and being September, I’m actually now looking forward to the turning of fall! So many exciting things going on this fall time. 🙂 First, by the first weekend of October I will have completed […]

It has been a little crazy here as I sit in the library writing this post. A couple days ago I was trying to upload a photo on Facebook when I realized my internet was not budging, of course finding out that my usage for the month has zapped. At least I am able to go to […]

Matt emailed me months ago saying that he wanted to surprise Suzanne with an Anniversary Session. At first, I was wondering how he would pull this off … but he DID!!! He actually got one of my 2015 brides involved in this surprise, so I really liked this plan! Haha! I arrived in Delaplane and […]
