Oh my goodness y’all!! Fall is delivering on some absolutely gorgeous sessions this year! And all that glowy light was made even more perfect by the sweet couple I got to photograph on Friday!! If you recognize these two, it’s because they’ve made a few other appearances on the journal last year and I was […]

It’s always the biggest honor when a friend asks me to photograph a special moment in their lives. I’ve worked with Jess for years and I was so excited to hear that she and Will were becoming parents and even MORE excited when she asked me to photograph her maternity images!! Jess is the BEST […]

This blog post is a little bittersweet for me y’all. On one hand, I am SO Excited to share all the lovely from Katie and Aaron’s gorgeous sunset engagement session! On the other hand, it’s the last new work I’ll be posting for a while due to Covid-19 and that makes me so sad. But […]

The winter season has seemed long, y’all. I hate not being behind my camera all the time! But over the weekend I got a mid off-season break and was SO honored to capture such an important and special moment for Emily & Grant.  These two have such a beautiful and strong love for each other […]

There is nothing more rewarding than capturing memories that will be treasured by your family for generations to come. Take a […]

Happy Birthday to sweet Mila! I can’t believe this little girl is already one! It feels like not that long ago I was photographing Taline’s Baby Sprinkle !!

How perfectly sweet is this family, y’all? I met these 3 at Green Spring Gardens last week for their family session and it was an absolute perfect night. This “fake” fall weather we’ve been having (we all know there’s bound to be a second summer at some point – this is VA!) has been giving […]

If there has ever been a perfect summer anniversary session, this was it! I met Emily & Grant at Airlie in Warrenton on Sunday night and the combination of a magical location, perfect weather (and glowy light), and their unconditional love for each other made for one of my favorite sessions to date! I met […]

Oh, y’all. I captured the SWEETEST newborn session over the weekend. Kendall & Brett were absolutely beaming over the arrival of their sweet little girl, Dylan. There were so many times that these three (plus their sweet puppy, Goose!) completely melted my heart with their love for each other. I absolutely love capturing lifestyle newborn […]

I was so excited when Taline contacted me about capturing images for her baby “sprinkle”! (To be completely honest, I actually had to look up what a baby sprinkle was! But once I knew that it was just another name for a baby shower, I was SO excited!!) Taline and her husband are expecting their second […]
