It’s another week of “Dopes and Nopes!” — A new Monday “weekend recap” series. 🙂 It’s a time to reflect on the great things, and the “maybe not so great” things that happened the past week/weekend! Of course, there are so many things to be grateful for, even in the midst of some crazy times. I’m […]

This is a very special post, and it’s very dear to my heart!! In fact, this particular blog feature involves my very own sister! 🙂 I’m so glad she was willing to share her story and these photos with you all in the hopes to inspire and encourage many. And, gosh, does she have a […]

In an 8-hour contract, I typically have 30-minutes to photograph the details, but I believe it’s important to capture some prepping photos even before the dress is put on. 🙂 So, when shooting solo, I try to pop in and out from the details to photograph candids of the girls hanging out. If I have […]

I made it down to Florida!!! It’s my last definite visit for the year… I’m going to try to hold my act together at the end of this trip. No promises, though… I grew up being tough and not mushy at all. Or, at least I thought I did. Better than my sister, at least!!! […]

It has been a while since I’ve last shared a DIY project, right?! I think it’s time to pick up where I left off and share another idea with you. 🙂 What’s a thought out, polished, pretty way to take a plain door and make it into something eye-catching? A barn door!!! I’m actually going […]

Don’t we all love to admire pretty photos? Especially when it involves sparkly jewelry, shoes, and dresses! 😉 This post is a pretty one because it includes all of the above!!! Today, I’m continuing the “2017 Favorites” series with prepping details! 🙂 If you missed yesterday’s blog post, I shared some of my favorite family portraits […]

If you missed the casual, but exciting, announcement from yesterday’s blog post, I’m in the middle of having my website/blog redesigned!!! Moving forward in my business, I needed a change! I would give you all of the reasons why I’m doing it, but that will wait until the big debut this fall and then you’ll […]

I’m BACK!!!! And this isn’t just a “weekend recap”, I have so much more to share with you from my recent road trip down to Florida. <3 After seeing how heartbroken Alex’s grandmother was when Alex graduated medical school, knowing that he was about to move to Florida, I knew I needed to create an […]

It’s so fun photographing and celebrating with JMU friends!! 🙂 Michele and I go back to the MRD days, which is special because I’ve done several other JMU MRD weddings come to think of it!! Even more fun! 🙂 Always an honor!!! Michele reached out to me after Rob proposed to her, and I was […]

Months ago, I ran across Paiges’ sweet parents and they were SO excited that their daughter was about to have the “Will you marry me” question popped!! Right after the proposal happened, they reached out to me with the exciting news that Paige said ‘YES!’ and they were having a winter wedding! I was excited […]
