I’m afraid this post may drag on a bit because of who Amanda has become to me but let’s see where we go! Many of you have seen Amanda Manupella’s name on my page or mentioned when discussing weddings, kid outings, etc. She was the one who shot my gender reveal, who shared excitement about […]

It’s certainly not easy being 5.5 months pregnant and chasing three […]

Meg contacted me months(literally April!) ago to start chatting details about family sessions. Well when our schedules finally matched up the weather wasn’t as cooperative! there was literally zero percent chance of rain that day and wouldn’t you know as I was leaving for their session it started to rain, fast and hard. Just as […]

I have seen quite a few of my photographer friends get the privilege of shooting a proposal in the last year and to say I’ve been dying to do one would be an understatement!! When Jerry contacted me months ago to ask if I would like to I immediately said YES!! I met Heather and […]

I think the hardest thing for me being pregnant is the anticipation of just who is growing inside me!! You know, making me pee at 3:00 a.m., causing me to eat salads like the lettuce is drying up all over America, making me loop a hairband through my jeans because I just can’t stand those […]

It is hard to believe this sweet little personality is already one! I met her parents just a few days after she was born. tiny and sweet with some great hair already. Over the year it has really been my pleasure to get to see the Belt’s every six months and capture their family at […]

I can honestly say this is the first session where one of the family members literally swam to shore. đ Matt has been out tuna fishing all day and his boat has broken down. After getting it towed close enough to shore, he literally jumped out, swam to the beach and had his brother bring […]

Literally from the moment I met Brittany & Robert a year ago, I knew I was going to love being a part of their day. Brittany is incredibly warm and glowing, she instantly reaches out and makes you feel comfortable. Her smile is gorgeous and I adore any girl who throws her head back and […]

My camera has given me the chance to document some really important times in people’s lives. What’s even better is when those important times are in my friends lives! Kenny and Joe have a large group of similar friends and I met Michelle at our friends Jeff & Lindsey’s house one Superbowl party and the […]

I say it so much sometimes I feel like a broken record but I really do love it when previous clients ask me back for more memories of their moments in time! That always applies to the Sims! I love seeing Lucas, he was so teeny tiny the first time I met him, and Erin […]

Life has been beyond crazy lately. The beginning of June we finally sold our home and somehow luckily found our ideal home in Virginia Beach. We are no less than 15 minutes from either Sandbridge or the ocean front, in a neighborhood with sidewalks and parks and can ride our bikes to an awesome shopping […]

It is hard to believe that four years ago today, I stood on the Ocean View Fishing Pier beach with sweat running down my back and told Kenny in front of our family, friends and God that I would love him until death and after that I’d love him wherever our souls would go. As […]

Kendal talked to me about doing a […]
