The botanical gardens is one of my favorite spots in the area for photographs, really regardless of the season! It’s so well kept, always beautiful and really can provide SO many options. Lauren originally found me after helping to publish my Legacy Blue shoot (also at NBG) and said she knew she had to book […]

When Kalena first messaged me and included her fiance’s last name, a small lightbulb went off. Eddie was actually a friend of my baby brother!! He remembers when Maverick was an infant and we went to Tides games, they played baseball together and hung out at each others house! Such a small world (that also […]

I just need to point out the obvious here, is Remi not the most adorable doodle dog you’ve seen? He’s huge and totally reminded me of Snuff from Sesame Street! Okay, now that’s I’ve got that out-of-the-way let’s get to his humans! Jess and Benji met when her parents hired him for some landscaping services […]

I always stress how important engagements pictures are so I am always up for doing them even if the wedding is only a few weeks away! Due to Matt’s job and his upcoming move before the wedding, we snuck these in after rescheduling them and I’m so glad the temperature perked up for us even […]

AHHHHH fall light for engagements is here and I am LOVING it!!!! While I’m a true summer lover, heat and ocean air for me, there is something SO beautiful about the less intense fall sun! I mean just look at these two!! Jeff is the brother to one of my sweet sweet past brides, Whitney, […]

Typically I get to do engagements months and months prior to the wedding date but then I have to wait SO long before I get my couples in front of my camera again! Well not Jessica and John because they get married next month! I’m so glad we were able to find one day we […]

When a client says they want some of their session in their back yard, I always hesitate because most people’s back yard isn’t conducive to a session BUT THIS BACKYARD….walking heart eye emoji! Michelle and Blake have lived in this waterfront home for a few years and it is the CUTEST home and property, with […]

So I tried really really hard to narrow this session down but look….it’s a huge blog post 😉 Last week Kenny and I ventured 3 hours north for these Charlottesville engagements with Caitlin & Brendan at Carter’s Mountain Orchard! We were originally supposed to start later in the day but after checking the 24 hour […]

Brooke and Cory met me for a breezy fall evening in the Freemason district so we could finally photograph their engagements before the weather got too cold!!! These two were engaged in Hawaii and wanted a totally different non beach feel for their engagements, so over to my favorite city spot it was! We started […]

I know so many of my photographer friends have felt the crunch from rescheduling sessions all summer due to the rain. Courtney & Keegan were such champs when their engagement session in Virginia Beach got rescheduled twice, the most recent time due to Hurricane Florence! While I don’t normally shoot on the weekends unless it’s […]
