The day started at 7:20 a.m. at the beautiful Hank’s Christmas Tree Farm in Markham, Virginia! The sun was starting to rise over the mountains in sight. Gorgeous way to start the day with the Johnson family! Although, we were in a CHILLY 28 degrees … WHEW! I came prepared with many layers but after […]

I have the privilege of photographing sweet couples/families every year for my annual Christmas Tree Farm Mini Sessions! I cannot believe this was my FOURTH year hosting the event and it sold out in less than 24 hours! I typically only book 8-10 spots, but this year I took on 16 sessions in five hours! It […]

It’s hard to believe that I only have a couple more portrait sessions left for the year! So glad that the King family are bringing in the finale. Their energy and spontaneous personalities kept me laughing the entire session. 🙂 As an explanation to the kids energy level, I was told they had sugar. Haha! […]

This weekend was just what I needed to get into the Christmas spirit! 🙂 I have been so busy that I haven’t really been able to help my family decorate for Christmas. To thoroughly enjoy my favorite season, I am only photographing 1-2 days a week until the week of Christmas instead of 2-3 sessions […]

I have been asked by many what is the progress of my house and I’m excited to post up this update today! 🙂 The builders have already moved on to the second story and it won’t be long before they are working on the third! It has been a while since I have checked out the […]

It was the coldest session I photographed this fall season, but better off than a rainy day! We managed to squeeze in this session hours before I departed for Florida and I’m glad we didn’t wait any longer. We met up at one of my personal favorite places in Fauquier County, Sky Meadows Park, where […]

Josh, Lindsey and I casually met at Matt and Taylor’s wedding this past summer. What a party Matt and Taylor had! I can only imagine what kind of celebration Josh and Lindsey will throw at one of my favorite venues, Morais Vineyard! A couple months ago, we had the chance to sit down and get to […]

I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving!!! 🙂 I spent all of last week in Florida visiting family and enjoying a little getaway time. I found myself working the first part of the trip but I don’t regret it at all as I feel so at ease going into these last few weeks of the year. […]

Summer, her adorable pup and I met earlier this year to get to know each other and chat about her engagement/special day. What I didn’t realize was how many connections we had between us! Not only did we have friends in common (makes sense for growing up in the same county), but her mom is […]

That fun moment when I was in the middle of signing my house contract and somehow made a connection that my dear couple, Jon and Hope, were going to be my neighbors this coming up February!!! Such a fun and exciting realization, especially knowing that they just have steps to my house for their final […]
