Alright guys, y’all read the title and you know exactly what I’m about to say – 2020 has been ruthless to our small business friends. While I always try to incorporate small business into my holiday shopping, this year is especially important. Target, Walmart, Amazon – they don’t need your money. And quite frankly, their […]

One of my sweet friends who is also a new mom AND a photographer did something absolutely incredible – she opened her own children’s boutique!! I still cannot get over how cool that is, I don’t even know how you go about starting that journey but she is a boss so if anyone could do […]

August is finally here and it is one of my *favorite* months because it’s my birthday month!! We have SO MUCH going on this month; my sister-in-law is due with her baby, on her birthday, which is also my BFF’s birthday. Alfred and I have a mini vacay planned over my birthday weekend. Some creative […]

Honeybook… it sounds kind of sweet, maybe a little nerdy… but what the heck is it?? If you are a photographer and don’t have Honeybook, chances are you have definitely heard the name!

WE’RE BACK, BABY!!! After having Vivian (who is 10 months old now!!) I decided to take a little break from blogging & style guides. Getting into our new routine & enjoying time as a family was so refreshing, but to be totally honest, I really missed blogging!! I had a schedule packed & ready to […]

After taking pictures of Ellie last weekend with nothing but watermelon at one of my *favorite* locations, I had a sudden idea – I should offer one weekend of watermelon mini sessions! Now in order to get this gorgeous golden hour light for all sessions, I will only be offering 3 sessions per day, so […]

Not gonna lie, this was probably the least enjoyable style guide shoot we have done to date… it was 100 degrees outside, we were all sweating through our clothes and Ellie was not having any of it! Luckily we found a little coy pond that distracted her, but of course it was then impossible to […]

Chelsea is a friend from high school, and I was so excited when she reached out about photographing her wedding!! She and her whole family are super laid back, have great style and are always ready for a good time – and her wedding day was no different!! Every detail from the ring bearers matching […]

I love any excuse to travel to Richmond, and shooting engagement pictures for these two was the perfect excuse!! Not only are Ruthann & Wayne friends of ours, Ruthann is also part of Alfred’s family. So when they asked us to come hang out for the afternoon and do their engagement pictures, I was so […]
