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 […]

It’s the LAST day of 2015! So many things going through my head right now as I prep for the new year, but today I realized that I need to appreciate the highlights of this year. So much has happened over the past 265 days. When we are constantly on the run, sometimes we forget […]

It’s that time of the year again … Some of my favorite ring shots kicks off the series, “Best of 2015”! 🙂 So much pretty bling on the blog!!! Rings come in different shapes, sizes, colors … Basically, anything is game when it comes to finding that sentimental, striking, keep sake piece of jewelry. Sometimes […]

Can you believe that 2015 is coming to a close? It didn’t seem that long ago when I was writing out my 2015 goals for the year and now I’m reflecting on all of the months that have passed by. I’ll be writing more about that later this week. 🙂 I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! […]

I look outside wishing that gentle rain were actually snow flakes falling down. I’m sure I’m wishing this wayyyyy too soon because if the predictions are correct, we aren’t really going to want the amount of snow that is anticipated for this winter season! A white Christmas would be nice, right? One of these years. 🙂 I […]

We met at the beautiful Hank’s Christmas Tree Farm in Markham, VA where we were blessed with the mild weather. Glad we didn’t have to bundle up in clothes to resemble Christmas Story’s “marshmallow boy” (as I like to call the younger brother). 😉 Lol! It’s nice that my families/couples have been able to dress […]

I hope everyone had a wonderful and festive weekend! Cannot believe the end of the year is just around the corner. Seems like a couple months ago I was starting to prepare for the 2015 wedding season! Now I’m prepping for 2016 and starting to book for 2017! I have some big plans for SMPhotography. […]

Today is the final day of sharing these Christmas tree mini sessions! It was definitely a busy day but SO worth while! If anyone is interested in next year’s Christmas mini sessions, email me ahead of time to be a part of the interest list! You will have first notice of the sign ups before […]
