The Blog

So lately I feel like a lot of my blog posts have kept it real. Whether it was rain, cold weather, temper tantrums, wind, or all of the above, sometimes we just have to kick life back in its butt and find the beautiful. So this is another example of beating the odds…. or really somewhat giving […]

It was a beautiful fall afternoon in November and surprisingly the downtown Fredericksburg streets were still covered in red and orange leaves.  As soon as I saw Jessie my first thought was, “OMG her eyes are stunning!”  Man those babies were blue. It was such a relaxed session and I  couldn’t get over Jessie’s smile […]

This was my second time shooting The Hunter Family  and as always our time together was filled with giggles, hugs, and a few kiddos who like to show off 🙂  I LOVE repeat clients because it makes me feel like I am that distant auntie who gets to hang around once a year and see […]

Oh man Lincoln is a CUTIE.  With a capital C.  That head full of hair won me over the second his mom texted me a photo.  As soon as I walked into their home, his big sister greeted me with all of her kindergarten news and what she was going to be for Halloween this […]

I remember a few months ago when I met Nick and Stephanie, I left with a smile on my face.  They were so calm and laid back, which are totally my type of clients!  The entire meeting we chatted about our dog babies and football.  They have a german shepherd and I have a basset/lab […]

I have been photographing The Somers Family since I was FIRST starting out in photography.  Connor was just a tiny little baby and I was trying so hard to make this little hobby of mine something bigger.  Let’s take a peek at a throwback… Let’s just have a round of applause for this mama who […]

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

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 LOVE storytelling sessions! I love them even more when it captures a special magical bond between daughters and mom! I had such a blast capturing pudding making with these beautiful ladies!

It is crazy to think that I have known this family since I was eight years old! Except this time, I wasn’t playing Barbies with their daughter… but taking their couple photos!  I LOVE these people.  They are kind, compassionate, funny, and so easy going.  For their session we didn’t really have any plans.  We […]
