I cannot believe, this time a year ago, I had just bought my first home! I have posted many projects over the past year, but this post is fun seeing everything together! Believe me, the projects haven’t stopped. 😉 I’m currently in the midst of creating custom kitchen drawer dividers for my utensils, and I […]

We are wrapping up the “Best of 2016” series on the last day of February with my favorite post of the year … Funny moments!! My job is very entertaining from wedding to wedding/session to session so why not show you what it looks like all in one post? This post makes me smile, just […]

I’m in disbelief we are just days away from March of 2017! I have a feeling this year is going to fly by like the last one. Yikes! It seems like winter pressed fast forward as well. I was really hoping to squeeze in a ski trip, but I guess it’s too late around this […]

When I was envisioning a space to gather family and friends in my home, a big and pretty wooden dining room table was exactly what I hoped for. What came to my surprise was the price of purchasing a brand new eight-person table with eight chairs! Yikes! We are talking at least $1,000 … And […]

It’s a HUGE honor to photograph a wedding, and I’m forever thankful for those who trust me from year to year. Each of my couples has a special place in my heart, and I’m glad I have these memories to reflect my experience with them forever. <3 I have been so fortunate to have sweet, […]

I had the privilege of meeting a gracious, BEAUTIFUL, grateful and joyful couple last week.

They are just weeks away from finally holding her in their arms, and I […]

We are wrapping up this series with a couple more “Best of 2016” posts, but today is “Reception Details” day!! Despite the fact that all of my 32 weddings last year had different themes, it’s fun seeing these photos together. 🙂 So many unique and beautiful ideas thanks to hard work from the couples and vendors […]

I have to be honest. If you asked me if there was human trafficking in Virginia over a year ago, I would have guessed no. I mean, we hear about it in other countries/continents, but not so much in the U.S. There’s also this perception of girls in chains and held against their will. That does […]

I feel like this blog post is packed with exciting news compared to a typical “Weekend Recap,” but this winter season has been a busy one!! First of all, I won’t chat too much about the details right now, but I attended a conference on Saturday regarding the local concerns of human trafficking. I wrote […]

Devin and Makalea’s engagement session not only kicks off the portrait season, but their anticipated wedding will start the wedding season NEXT MONTH!!! Cannot wait! We met in person for the first time last Friday and I felt as though I have known these two much longer. Together, they are sweet, fun, adventurous and enduring! I […]
