The second Tara had her dress zipped up … I could not help but feel EXCITED for her and Brian! Over the course of our journey together with meetings and the engagement session, I felt emotionally connected to their special day. Ohhhhh gosh, and when her little niece Brooke got up to the microphone to […]

Jennifer and I met at Justin & Lauren’s gorgeous wedding back in March. Immediately, we hit it off … especially once I found that she was a JMU Alumni!!! We love our purple community! Coincidentally, I had the JMU Alumni styled shoot coming up that following Thursday so I had to ask if she would […]

I don’t think I can even explain HOW excited I am to be sharing this with you all today!!! After photographing a JMU engagement session last night, I was too excited not to share this with you all!!! I want to start off by saying that none of this would have worked out without the help of […]

I’ll admit I feel like I got a GOOD workout this weekend … and it wasn’t from the gym! From a farm wedding at Hermitage Hill Farms to a DC engagement session on top of running around, my legs are so sore! Maybe I became weaker over the winter time?! Maybe I need to be more […]

Is it a boy? Is it a girl? We won’t know until this summer, when baby Wade is due!!! Such an exciting, yet beautiful time of life. Before I initially met Emily early last year, I was nervous! That may sound weird? Emily is Kyle’s cousin and he really looks up to her and her opinion. […]

There is something SO special about this particular couple. After seeing them together during their engagement session, it was VERY clear that they genuinely care for one another. And that was more than obvious on their very wedding day. As their special family and friends came together for this special occasion, I could tell really how […]

I LOVE these sessions! In my higher packages, I offer a “bridal session” that can be basically used for more wedding portraits if they were to wait until after the wedding day to use their session. I love this because there is no stress of guests around. We go around at our own pace and really […]

Well, this was definitely something different from my typical weddings and couples. I realized quickly that there were some things I could not do … like bring Matthew to a bush of flowers to pose in front of … or tell him that he looks “beautiful”. Lol! Really though, this was a fun photo shoot […]

I feel like I have SO much to share for todays “Weekend Recap” since Easter was just yesterday and spring is finally in the air! 🙂 I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter with family! Its funny because my boyfriend, his family and I planned to go to church together at 7:45 a.m. yesterday and […]

The wind blowing through Alicia’s hair and her dress paired with the beautiful spring sunshine at a couple flawless locations, what is there not to love about this engagement session? After picking up my camera and photographing them for only 10 minutes, I could tell there was something special I was capturing. A tender, gentle, […]
