When Preston reached out to me regarding his BIG plans to propose to Amanda, excitement overcame me! I loved that we connected through several friends through our church (thanks, Gathering Church!!!). I also loved that he had the vision of hiring a photographer to photograph his proposal at the Seaside Chapel in 30A, Florida!!! Talk about a DREAM! […]

Don’t you love Shenandoah National Park? I’m a big fan, especially when it’s during the fall season!!! Well, actually, any time during the year, it’s pretty spectacular! And when I’m able to catch the sunrise or sunset, it’s the best time to photograph my darling couples. Absolutely breathtaking!!! And it’s not very often I get the […]

Oh, sweet Zack and Debbie!!! I’m soooo glad our schedules aligned so I could be their photographer once again and document their anniversary portraits on Virginia ‘s Shenandoah Mountains!!! One of my favorite places in Virginia to not only photograph, but enjoy the peacefulness of this beautiful world. <3 And Zack and Debbie made it […]

You might recognize these two!! Pat and Tara got married on the most beautiful fall day last year at Raspberry Plain Manor! Some of my all-time favorite photos. 🙂 Tara told me when the time came that she would love to have their future pregnancy documented. Well, little did they know that they would find out they would be expecting […]

Joey and her beautiful family met me at their gorgeous condo, just days before selling it. After a decade of memories in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, they decided it was time to hand the keys over to the next owner. I can tell that it wasn’t an easy decision after they shared some beautiful stories of […]

I’ve known this beautiful family what feels like my entire life!! In fact, the Mast family was one of the first families in Warrenton, Virginia, who hired me as a photographer! And that was about a decade ago … Crazy!!! Seeing their kids grown, unfortunately, reminds me of my age, though. HA! But they are […]

What a great way to celebrate this precious little girl by taking family portraits! After all, the last time this family and I got together for pictures was when Claudia was pregnant with Evelyn. 🙂 We took photos nine months in, and now these portraits mark nine months out! How special!!! And I’m glad Herman, the pup, […]

I can remember attending my aunt’s baby shower YEARS ago, celebrating the upcoming arrival of my cousin, Helen. Flash forward many, many years later, my cousin is now a high school SENIOR at Liberty High School. I’m not sure how those years in between slipped away… The little girl I once taught swim lessons is […]

You might recognize my *once clients turned to friends* in this blog post!!! Tim, Morgan, and I connected YEARS back when they were planning their wedding at Marriott Ranch! 🙂 Gosh, it was a picture-perfect day!! And as perfect as it was, I love seeing their story continue to unfold over the years since saying […]

Chatting with Michelle and her sweet, bubbly family about traveling with an RV makes me want to invest in one!! I grew up with my grandparents owning an RV, and some of my all-time FAVORITE childhood memories involved traveling around the US. 🙂 With the craziness going on right now, there wasn’t a better time […]
