This relationship all started with a sweet, beautiful, cheerful Kindergarten teacher and a “cute IT man” (as Anna said in her love story) who came in one day to help with classroom technology issues. As technology issues arose over the course of the months, she had only hoped he would pop back in to help … […]

If you haven’t guessed it yet, I’m starting to advertise my services in Destin / Panhandle area of Florida! I’ll be offering wedding, engagement, anniversary, maternity and family portraits, and I’m SO excited that the beach will be a popular destination!!! The sunsets are incredible over the Gulf, the sand is WHITE (great natural reflector), […]

July … Really? Summer is going by this fast? Although, the heat lately has been SCORCHING!!!! This is when a pool in the backyard would be nice. 🙂 I remember a couple years ago photographing one July wedding and it was the hottest event I had ever and have ever photographed! At one point, I […]

Ollie and I are back from Florida!!!! Gosh, it was the BEST trip! Mostly because Ollie and I got to hang out with Alex for over a week, but we really enjoyed our adventures on and off the road. 🙂 Looking at these photos below, you would have thought this trip was a road trip […]

To this day, Michael, Lauren and I joke around about their engagement session in March. It was absolutely freezing, and it took Lauren TWO hours to warm up after the session ended. No joke! She told me that even after the drive home, she had to take a hot shower, curl up with blankets and […]

Chris, Natalie and I go back years ago when they once lived in Richmond, Virginia. We connected then because they were on the search for a wedding photographer. 🙂 Little did we know that our initial email exchange back in 2016 would turn into a friendship that continued past their wedding day! We have enjoyed […]

I hope you had a great weekend! I’m ready for some sunshine … Anyone else?! Who knew that this year would be so rainy. There have been countless postponed sessions, but we are making it work!!! 🙂 I appreciate my couples’ patience and willingness to be flexible during this unpredictable season!! It’s also challenging on […]

It’s funny thinking back when Taylor, Katherine and I got together back in October for their engagement session. Richmond was their hometown and it seems like SO much has changed since then. Richmond has become a second home to me since Alex lived there as well, and I absolutely LOVE it!!! Since then, Taylor and […]

Finally, Virginia has sunshine! It only took two weeks and a lot of flooding for the weather to call it quits! Oh, and apparently, a lot of snakes? Ah! I won’t get into that… But while I was appreciating this amazing weather today, I couldn’t help but think about my trips down to Florida the past […]

There’s NO WAY I’m turning 3-0. No way. This was my mindset all last week. You see, turning 30 has been a big deal since I turned 20. I’m not kidding, for an entire DECADE I’ve been dreading this number. I remember making an original joke back then saying, “Oh my gosh, ten more years […]
