2022 started on an interesting note… For the first time this calendar year, I was able to unpack my suitcases yesterday and move back into my house! Time to settle back into a routine!! YES. It feels SO good to know that I’m not rushing in between places this weekend … for once. 🙂 To […]

I know it’s Tuesday, but I was too excited to make the time to finally blog a “Coffee Talk Mondays” post since December! 🙂 And after one week of being home, I’m feeling myself again! As you know from my last post, this calendar year started a little rough. I was convinced that my break […]

This is a FUN and festive tradition! For the past TEN years, I’ve hosted Christmas mini sessions!!! TEN YEARS! WOW. One of my favorite years was when we got our first snow coincidentally the day of our scheduled minis!!! But that was a one-time occurrence that I would be happy to welcome back. 🙂 I […]

There isn’t a more romantic story than the Notebook. Don’t you agree? Well, we lived that iconic movie scene during the final minutes of this engagement session when the rain started to fall! Perfect timing!!! I mean, by that point, I was almost showered with champagne! I cannot think of a better way to end […]

I know Mary back from good ole Liberty High School … over ten years ago? Crazy. We were on the swim team together, and she always seemed to be the cool chic in her high school class! She was tall, gorgeous, down to earth, and an all-American girl! I can see how these two are […]

After getting to know them over a cup of coffee and then their engagement session, I felt a genuine connection! Fast forward to their wedding […]

Do you want to see the party of a lifetime?!!! I’m not kidding when I ask that rhetorical question. I’ve seen and documented HUNDREDS of weddings… But this party was unique and one I’ll never forget! And what a great way to conclude the wedding season? Matt and Allie hosted family and friends from all over to […]

Dilan, Allison, and I got together in September at the Manassas Battlefield in Virginia to photograph their engagement portraits. It was a BEAUTIFUL evening — I mean, look at the GLOWY light and the colors in the sky!!! Although, by our surprise, the wind picked up at the end and made it a super chilly […]

Regardless, it’s the most magical time of the year, and I’m excited to celebrate this season with family and friends! 🙂 December is going to be a crazy month between […]
