Matt, Briana, and I met at the beautiful Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, Virginia, for their engagement portraits. I initially met Briana at her sister, Gaby’s wedding back in 2017! Unreal to think it was almost THREE years ago since that super fun day!!! And just knowing how much fun her sister’s wedding was at Morais Vineyard, I’m in for […]

Happy National Dog Day!!! I am taking a “paws” (you see what I did there?) from sessions and dedicating this blog feature to Ollie and all dogs out there. <3 Dogs come in all shapes and sizes, but they really are a man’s best friend! Or I guess … man is a dog’s best friend! […]

Chatting with Michelle and her sweet, bubbly family about traveling with an RV makes me want to invest in one!! I grew up with my grandparents owning an RV, and some of my all-time FAVORITE childhood memories involved traveling around the US. 🙂 With the craziness going on right now, there wasn’t a better time […]

What an eventful week!!! It’s so nice being back in Florida because I’m slowly but surely getting back into a good routine again. 🙂 My computer is LOADED with thousands of images from the past few weeks, but I’m able to dedicate my afternoons to editing (hello, block-scheduling!!!)! Even though I have a lot of […]

Why not escape to somewhere tropical and beautiful while a hurricane is hitting your hometown? That was what Kristy and her family did!!! Although it’s typically the opposite, I expect us to be escaping the Gulf Coast tropical weather. 😉 HAHA! But while Hurricane Hanna was hitting Texas, they enjoyed their time in Destin, Florida. 🙂 We […]

There are some occasions when we can work around the rain and other times we have to push forward. Being that this was Sarah and her family’s last day in Grayton Beach, we decided to go for it! 🙂 Even if that meant huddling under a palm tree to avoid the downpouring rain for these […]

I spent all day yesterday driving back to Florida, but I made it safely!!! 🙂 Only one more Virginia road trip planned for this year in October — I CANNOT wait to come back in the fall!!! My favorite season, and something I miss in Florida!!! The mountains… pumpkin everything… boots/cute fall layers! I’m counting […]

After not photographing a wedding since the start of COVID, I was SO excited to kick off the wedding season with Keith and Lauren’s wedding! You might remember their absolutely STUNNING cherry blossom DC engagement portraits!!! I thought I couldn’t adore them more, but then they proved me wrong last week! I’m so grateful they had […]

Obviously, it’s not Monday, BUT I spent the day traveling 14-hours on the road earlier this week! 🙂 We (Ollie and I) made it to Virginia!!! Because I’m here on a business trip to photograph two weddings and some portrait sessions, I won’t have normal business hours checking emails, etc. I’ll resume back to normal […]

Lori reached out to me looking for a family Destin, Florida photographer to document their sweet family while they were visiting. One reason I specialize in small family portraits rather than families 6+ because I want to be as personable as possible by reciting names properly… BUT Lori tricked me when they showed up with […]
