It’s never too late to have an engagement session! These two are getting married this SATURDAY! Ah! What better way to get your mind off of all the wedding details than to goof off and have photos done? We met last night to do their engagement portraits and have their final meeting and had the best […]

We met downtown Alexandria and immediately within the first 5 minutes, I knew this was going to be a good time! The 70 degree weather … the flowers blooming/budding … the magical sunlight … sigh. I’m so thankful spring finally decided to come around! ABOUT TIME! 🙂 I know my spring clients and I have […]

I’m pretty sure this list could continue on and on and on … but I thought for today, I would share some secret dreams of mine. 🙂 It’s important as a business woman to have inspiration. So many things inspire me, especially this guy (here)! Of course though, there are certain places that really get […]

So far so good. I’ve started the season on a high note with Justin and Lauren’s wedding and this past weekend was my “off weekend” before the wedding season really kicks into full gear! I’m PRAYING for a sunny weekend every Friday/Saturday/Sunday until December as I’m pretty sure we have had enough rain in the […]

Yesterday … was amazing! One of many reasons why I love the JMU community! Loved seeing everyone get out of their cars sporting purples and golds. 🙂 From start to finish, I realized that I could not have put together this styled shoot without my creative team! I had 10 out of 11 JMU Alumni […]

A month ago, I had a pull on my heart to make plans for something I was unsure of … really, I had no plans and had NO idea what I was getting myself into. I remember receiving an email and thinking to myself, “I can’t do this … can I?”. But this “pull” really […]

First wedding of the year could not have started on a better note! Blush pinks … plenty of flowers … spring in the air … an adorable couple … all at one of my favorite venues, Morais Vineyards! Fortunately, I was acquainted with Lauren back early last year when I shot a wedding at Fauquier […]

Cannot believe it has been a year … March 25th, 2013. It was raining this very day last year and this year, snow! I’ve realized that over this past year has been hard on my family and there are times where you know he’s in a better place and then other times where it just […]

This weekend felt like a whirlwind! I had my first wedding of the year and I have to say that I fell in love all over again. 🙂 Watching how happy my couple/friends were from the start of the day to the end was such a joy! Their timeline was SO ideal that there was […]

I hope everyone enjoyed their first day of spring yesterday … Can I say … it’s about TIME?! Honestly though, I LOVE the snow and obviously LOVE snow portraits but there is something so unique with the spirit of springtime. It’s happy, joyful, romantic, airy, refreshing … Seriously, who cannot be in a good mood […]
