Jess and I met years ago through Piedmont Press & Graphics. I was in the design department and Jess was handling all sorts of jobs throughout the office. From our time there of getting to know each other, I could tell that she needed to be in the creative industry. Not only is she personable, […]

After photographing an incredible Saturday wedding, I was really pumped for Sunday! I was reminiscing Matt and Nicole’s engagement photos on the way to their wedding  and could not help but get excited! I remember falling in love with this couple from the start. They both attended and met through JMU (GO DUKES)! Matt and Nicole’s […]

James and Emily have been waiting for this day for literally YEARS. After a couple years of planning, the wait was finally over. They were blessed with sunshine and company from all over the country, including Alaska! I’ll admit that Saturday’s wedding was pretty hot, but James and Emily made it look like a piece of […]

Stephen and Kelly met me at the Manassas Battlefields in the wee hours in the morning last week. Already battling with the rush hour, we were fortunate to catch the sun rising just in time! I remember our first meeting together and how excited I was to photograph them. Now after photographing their engagement portraits, […]

What a week/weekend! I allowed myself to hit the snooze button this morning … Which basically means I didn’t turn on any alarm. 😉 My body needed to recover and relax as I woke up feeling like I was hit by a truck! <= By the way, who ever thought of this saying? Hahah! Anyways, last week was […]

It was probably the most ideal August day we could have prayed for. Sunny skies and temperature in the 80s. I only hope for this weather to continue for the rest of my August brides. 🙂 DJ and Bevin chose the gorgeous Oatlands Plantation in Leesburg, VA as their wedding venue. Such a classy space […]

Cannot believe a year has passed since Josh and Kaitlyn’s sweet wedding day! It always catches me off guard. We met at the beautiful Bluestone Vineyard in Bridgewater, Virginia last Friday for some Anniversary portraits in celebration of their one year. I loved catching up with their lives and seeing where God is taking their marriage. […]

Coming back from vacation can be a bit overwhelming sometimes. I pushed everything to the side while I was relaxing and soaking up those oh-so-necessary sun rays. Vitamin D is good for the heart and soul, in moderation of course. 😉 We don’t need lobsters here! Last week was spent catching up with a bazillion […]

Besides the beach being one of my favorite places on Earth, beach portraits have to be some of my all time favorite type of sessions! The subtle colors of the sand with the blue tones of the water makes an incredible backdrop. Especially when you mix in an amazing sunrise or sunset! I had the privilege […]

Ten days at the beach flew by in just a snap of a finger. So many incredible sunsets, laughs, and good times. But I really think that the beach can leave that impression because it’s so soothing to the soul. Even better? I unplugged and left my computer at home and used my cell phone […]
