There are times when timing is out of your hands. Unfortunately, Monday was that day for me. I built in PLENTY of traffic time to head down there and after I thought I was right on time, I came to a halt. That one halt did not move for an hour! I felt trapped and […]

Emily and I go back since freshmen year of JMU … which now feels like an eternity ago! Really, that was 7 years ago … wow. It wasn’t long after that when we and two of our friends moved in together. First it was an apartment and then we upgraded to a house downtown where […]

Finally the day arrived! I met Kristen through mutual friends years ago … and actually, I’m pretty sure I knew her parents before I had the chance to get to know Kristen. But seriously, this group is a TRIP! These families know how to have FUN! Their special day was going to happen at another venue, […]

I am ecstatic to be celebrating this because honestly, there is so much to celebrate! I’m fortunate that I’m able to call this my one full time […]

I never thought I would be doing an engagement session in the middle of D.C. … in a terrifying thunderstorm! And let me stop there to tell you something quickly … Sean and Kayli live in Las Vegas and upon arriving, Kayli said that she would love to see a thunderstorm since they don’t have […]
