After hours of hair and makeup, it’s time for the bride to put on her dress. The excitement is BEAMING not just from the bride but from her family and bridesmaids. The last bit of the zipper is up and cheers burst out loud! She’s getting MARRIED to the man of her dreams!!! The final […]

This past week/weekend was filled with great conversations about past memories, future plans and dreams. New and old friends, I’m thankful for you all! I also had the chance to move forward with an exciting project I’ve been working on. 🙂 I’m going to make an announcement this week!!! I’m excited to share what I have […]

Photographing prepping details is one of the first things I tackle when arriving at the prepping location. If I do not have a second shooter with me that day, I will randomly pop in to take photos of the girls prepping throughout the time I’m photographing details. I ask every bride to collect their details and […]

Saturday, I spent the afternoon with my mom attending an organizing event hosted by Organizational Specialists Inc. at the gorgeous Oh Sew Persnickety Fabrics and Threads shop! So much fun brainstorming what I can do with my craft room. 🙂 Perfect timing I would say as I’m preparing for the big move next month! AH! I […]

Let me just start off by saying that I really had a hard time narrowing down this category! I have thoroughly enjoyed looking through every engagement session this year … so I basically posted all of my favorites. 🙂 Haha! I couldn’t narrow it down any further!

One of my daily routines I check off every Monday-Friday is to completely clear out my inbox! Four years ago, I sat down and completely changed the way I structured my email workflow. Believe me, it took a LONG time to sort through the old and new emails. Not to mention, tedious! SO worth it though!!! […]

When I’m not photographing weddings and engagements, lifestyle portraits are a great change of pace! I only take on a selected number of lifestyle portraits per month but I have walked away with some of my all time favorite photos! I’m continuing the “Best of 2015” with those  unforgettable photos. 🙂 The lifestyle category encompasses family, […]

Evan and Ally reached out to me regarding photos while they were visiting Virginia for Christmas. We were able to align our schedules and make this New Year’s Day session happen! 🙂 As I drove to downtown Warrenton, I was reflecting our journey together. It has been since 2014! Sounds like a long time ago […]

HELLOOOOOOO 2016! I hope everyone had a wonderful time bringing in the new year!!! There is always something so great about a new year … New beginnings … A chance to hit “refresh”. Definitely a great motivation to make improvements, whether it’s involves finances, health, religion, habits, etc.  I thought I would write out some things […]
