I arrived super early at the beautiful 2941 Restaurant to scope out the place as well as get prepared for the inevitable rain. It wasn’t like it was a drizzling rain … it was a consistent drenching rain. It can be an obstacle when outdoor photos are involved but we made it work out the entire […]

I absolutely adore this family! I have known them since … well, basically forever as we were once next door neighbors. 🙂 So thankful we have kept in contact over the years because I love seeing this family grow! Jenn excitingly told me that she wanted to schedule a spring/summer family session and of course […]

Friday, Nick and Kristin finally got married!!! 🙂 Even though this was only my second official time meeting this couple in person since they live in California, it was as if we had hung out many times before their big day! They were so comfortable in front of the camera allowing those sweet little moments to […]

I first met Jaricia two years ago while doing her sister’s engagement portraits. I’m still in shock it was that long ago! Although, nothing compares to how long Nathan and Jaricia have known each other … since 2003! Now THAT feels like forever ago! They wanted to do their photos at a beautiful scenic farm for […]

This weekend was the perfect ending to the spring wedding season! It has been the busiest season I have ever had as far as my business goes but the best part is how manageable it has been! How? The last couple years I have seen what not to do and have learned how to take […]

The day started with everyone being super positive about the weather even though the forecast was predicting some pretty intense storms and flash flooding in the evening. No matter what happened, they were going to be married and celebrate! Everyone was all set to go, including Anthony and Ashley’s guests, when the rain decided to […]

This month marks Chris and Emily’s One Year Anniversary! Cannot believe it has been a year since their Early Mountain Vineyard wedding! So many great things have happened since then, one of the great things being that they are expecting a sweet little girl this summer! So of course for their One Year Anniversary portraits, we […]

I’m writing todays blog post in my living room as roofers are banging above me this morning installing a tin roof. This is going to be brief because it’s hard to concentrate today because A) it’s Monday and B) banging noises echoing throughout the house isn’t pleasant. 😉 I hope everyone enjoyed their Father’s Day yesterday! […]

Continuing this “What’s in my Bag Series” little by little over the weeks but today I am going over the Nikkor 35mm f/1.4G lens! So far, we have gone over the Macro Lens (105mm) and the Telephoto Lens (70-200mm) and now we are going to take a step back for a wider view. The 35mm is […]

It was my first time at the GORGEOUS Keswick Vineyards close to Charlottesville, Virginia and my mouth dropped when I arrived to the venue. I’m a sucker for mountain views so my heart was filled with excitement when it came to portrait time! The heat made things interesting as we tried to avoid the sun […]
