July is one HOT & humid month here in Virginia, and taking these pictures in the heat was no joke! We took pictures for about five minutes before calling it quits, and I was already sweating through everything! Now normally I am not one for matching, I generally like to coordinate rather than match. However, […]

Kristen and Tyler had such a beautiful and loving wedding day! We started out getting ready at the venue with the bride and her bridesmaids, before having a first look with the bride and her father. I absolutely love documenting the first look between a father and daughter, because the reactions are always so different! […]

A full YEAR after our big wedding celebration, and I am finally getting around to sharing our wedding images & video!! They are not kidding when they say your day flies by – I thought I had an inkling after being in the wedding industry for a few years as a photographer, but it is […]

May is one of those crazy months in our household – my busy season is starting to hit full swing with weddings & portraits, the days are longer so we like to bring Ellie to the park & around town, and Alfred just started his MBA program. So I am very happy that we were […]

The surprise is finally out, Ellie is going to be a big sister come September!! Today marks the halfway mark, 20 weeks, and I am very excited to be halfway done with this pregnancy. Friends & family already know this, but I am NOT a happy / glowing pregnant woman – I am a bloated, […]

This was my first time taking graduation portraits around the beautiful campus of Mary Washington, and oh my goodness, it will certainly not be the last! Sierra was absolutely gorgeous & her outfits were perfect, so pair that along […]
