It’s Monday! So time for an awesome Local Treasure!!! I LOVE my dog Sammie, so when I found out that my past client, Luann, had quit her day job and opened up a dog grooming salon in Downtown Fredericksburg, we had to check it out! Luann and her fiance Gary have the most adorable shop […]

Sometimes my friends and I like to dress up, get in the car, and have a little photo shoot… Sammie and I!!!!!!  

Kate was a bridesmaid for a wedding I shot last fall… alongside another one of my brides, the gorgeous Sarah!  Kate and Matt both teach at the same high school and their romance all started with chaperoning at a field trip.  They are proud cat parents, wonderful teachers, and love late night movie marathons during their […]

Summer and Chris giggled and grinned their entire session which basically made my heart soar.  For most of their session, I didn’t even have to direct them with poses!!  Summer and Chris are getting married at the Caroline Fairgrounds next spring and I can’t wait to capture their big day!

I don’t get to shoot many male seniors so when I do I look forward to the session!  This was booked really last minute but when his mom asked me to come to their home for the session, which is in Virginia Beach, I could not wait! I actually brought my little brother with me […]

I met Sarah when she was a bridesmaid for a wedding I shot last October and even then I knew she was a wonderful person! She was such a help to the entire day and had such a sweet personality! When she contacted me about booking her OWN wedding photographer, I got so excited and […]
