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 […]

I love seeing something for its structural beauty and not necessarily for its appearance. I encourage you to do the same next time you are in an antique/thrift/consignment shop! It’s so much fun knowing that the sky is the limit when you have the resources! Before moving into my house a little under a year […]

I had the honor of meeting so many friendly faces last year through my couples. Wedding parties vary in personalities, but when we come together to celebrate, there is one thing that is evident. JOY! You’ll see that as a common theme in the photos below. 😉 I love seeing the entire picture come together between the bridesmaid […]

Brides, bridesmaids and friends of the bride! Have you heard of the Runaway Brides 5k Fun Run?! If you want to be involved in the community by doing something beneficial, this run is for you! The Runaway Brides 5k Fun Run is a charity event to raise money for a well-deserved local organization, with the help […]

We are walking through my favorite 2016 photos and today, we are looking through the ceremonies I had the honor of helping them create memories they will cherish forever! 🙂 I made sure to not only include some of my favorite moments but also some details I thought were great ideas. From a rose petal display […]

Happy snow day!!! 🙂 Especially to those who are out of school, both kids and staff members. Waking up to snow on a Monday made me want to stay in bed. I know I’m not the only one who felt this way. 😉 I have no excuse to not work today since my office is […]
