This weekend was so well spent as I gutted my entire office and really organized the space which I have been DYING to do! It is so hard going from one organized space to a space with zero organization. When I finally got my printer up and running last week, I started my packaging for […]

I cannot believe that I have been in my new place for a month now! Time has flown by, but yet … where is the time to really get settled in?! I left for vacation two weeks ago and when I got back Sunday, I told myself “No more decorating!”. Haha! It is honestly so […]

Gosh, it feels like forever since I have known this lovely couple! Since high school actually … after all, they are high school sweethearts. šŸ™‚ What was so great about their wedding day, everyone is 100% confident in their marriage. That is a hard thing these days to wonder if a marriage is going to […]

It was Bethany Beach where Clint, Alexis, her family and I met at the wee hours of the morning for a beach sunrise session. I absolutely LOVE the beach … and obviously I LOVE photography … so those two put together equals a fabulous session! šŸ™‚ Too bad the beach has to be so far […]

This session … a session I won’t forget! Let me just start off by saying that I try to be fully under control from beginning to end, but there came a moment in Kenny and Natasha’s session where I just freaked! We were in a field when I asked them to lay on the ground […]

So sorry for the delayed blog post today as I have been trying to spend sometime trying to get my internet back up and running at home. As you all know that technology is not 100% perfect all the time. šŸ™‚ Thankfully, I’m back online and time to dive into business work! Let me just […]

Gosh, I am SO sorry guys … when I thought I had this post all ready to go, the internet bombs out the night before. šŸ™ Now that I just got home from my vacation at the beach and out to Jeremy and Hope’s wedding today (YAY!), I finally can show ya’ll Brian and Tara’s […]

Where do I even begin with this couple … I have known Emily since freshmen year of college back in the JMU years. We became roommates with two other beautiful ladies from sophomore to senior year and have fortunately been able to keep in touch when possible. šŸ™‚ And I can say that when Chris […]

As you know, it is summertime … which means, beautiful greenery backgrounds with full trees and flowers. But it also means a LOT of rain and thunderstorms. I have unfortunately have had to postpone some sessions due to evening weather. This session, they were calling for storms all day long so in that type of […]

Wohoo! The time has come and finally it’s … relaxation time! šŸ™‚ Well, for the most part! I’ll try to keep up with my blogging this week, although it will not be consistent with timing. Better than nothing! šŸ™‚ I’ve already managed to get burned. Of course I should have figured this would happen since […]
