Jess is free spirited, easy going and beautiful inside and out. It made sense when we started talking about her maternity photos that she wanted a very natural atmosphere in the woods with gorgeous scenery. Before the session, we contacted the fabulous Shelley’s Floral for a beautiful floral crown for this shoot. So appropriate, especially with […]

I hope everyone had a warm and safe weekend with this snow/ice! I was leaving the house for the first time since the snow storm and it must have taken me at least 20 minutes to wipe off the snow and the ice! Although, I guess it would have been much faster if my ice […]

I find it appropriate to share these adorable photos on the blog today after posting up dog photos on Tuesday. 🙂 Yesterday, Shelley’s Floral had Jess and I over at her place for maternity photos. We have been planning her maternity session for a couple months and I have been SUPER anxious to photograph Jess and little […]

Happy snow day everyone! I hope everyone is able to stay at home in the warmth. Cannot believe we have yet again another snow storm! I do have something exciting happening today though. 🙂 I’m running out in the snow with my friend, Jess, and we are taking maternity portraits! We originally planned to do them […]

This is one wedding I will never forget. Sam, Kristin along with their closest family and friends joined them this past Saturday at the gorgeous Stevenson Ridge in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. The venue reminded me of the south seeing some of the beautiful plantation homes on site along with the tree lined driveway. I personally loved that the […]

I get this question quite frequently from my couples, “Can I bring my dog?” Well, of COURSE! I love photographing dogs because they are a part of the family. Whether it is an engagement or a family session, I love making sure they are included. So today, I thought I would share some tips about […]

I hope everyone had a wonderful and warm weekend! This weather has given me the spring blues, but I have to say that I enjoyed photographing a wedding in the snow. 🙂 Now that my next wedding isn’t until April, I have a bit of time to sit down and crank out the remainder of […]

You hear me talking about how much I have been enjoying the “off season”, but what does it mean? As a wedding photographer, there are seasons. Seasons of engagement, booking, weddings, engagements, etc. During the winter months we don’t pick up our cameras as frequently as spring/fall. I do an occasional session here and there […]

Taking photos while it is snowing has to be one of my favorite memories of 2014/21013. I have been hoping for another big storm like what we had last year. Snowflakes are so magical in photos! The snow storm came this past weekend when I was sick with a cold but that wasn’t going to stop me from […]

My siblings and I can never say enough appreciation towards my parents. It’s hard as a kid to understand how much of a blessing it was to have my parents who cared. There were times where we thought their rules were too restricting, but now as an adult I completely understand their intensions. My siblings and […]
