Abigaile and Sam drove down from DC to the lake for a weekend away from the noise and spent sunrise with me at Lake Anna State Park for their engagement session. I told them, “Oh lets meet at sunrise so we can avoid any crowds!” Well little did I know that an entire triathlon also […]

We met outside Casa Del Barco in Richmond, Virginia and were determined to walk off some toddler energy during the last hour of daylight on a hot July evening. I think what I enjoyed the most about this session is that their daughter was shy, stubborn and had zero interest in me taking her portraits. […]

This past summer my best friend came into town with the kids from Alaska!  Her husband is stationed in Anchorage so I only see her about once a year.  We spent the week running errands together, laying on the couch scrolling on our phones like we were teenagers again and had a super fun day […]

For the last few years my family spends a week in Duck, NC at the end of summer.  It consists of pool time, margaritas, beach and lots of laughs provided by my four young cousins.  They are all brothers under the age of 8 so you can imagine the chaos!!! I always do their family […]

So funny story, I did a model call a few years ago and somehow I got matched up with a guy and a girl who WEREN’T dating… but did the most epic couples session.  You can see it here Fast forward… and next thing I know I am shooting sessions with them as a MARRIED couple, […]

For the last few years my uncle, aunt and cousins have rented a beach house down in Duck and while I appreciate the week vacation with them… what’s even better is taking photos for such a awesome looking family! I have been able to photograph down in Outer Banks so much lately and holy moly […]

When Jennifer messaged me and told me they were in their new home and wanted to book a session, I got so excited! I love indoor sessions for families especially when its somewhere special to them.

These little kiddos are the BEST! I actually babysit them once or twice every few months and I consider it more of a treat than a job! I have the most fun with the kids and when I get to take their family photos every year… it’s even better!  

I know that I am months behind in blogging and I am desperately trying to get back on track still… but when you have families that have photos like these…. you can’t skip anyone! We did this session about 10 feet from a parking lot! Just shows you can make magic happen anywhere.  

I shot their maternity, newborn, and 6 month session so when we got to his ONE YEAR, I was obviously excited.  They never fail to disappoint.
