The good things of summer…popsicles, bubbles, gardens, sprinklers, fresh fruit and endless sunshine to soak in. And Miss Emmaline knows those things well. I’ve photographed this sweet girl since birth, and my, how she’s grown. With every passing month and day, she grows more into her own and it’s been so fun to watch her […]

One of the main questions I get when talking about my business is, “how do people find you?” Most of the time, the answer is “referrals,” as many of my couples and families find me through past clients, mutual friends, old family friends, you name it. But one of the best stories I have, is […]

Creating a wedding timeline doesn’t have to be difficult (especially when you have an awesome planner on your side!), and it can be one of the biggest things in reducing stress on your wedding day. That’s why I always work with couples and their planner on crafting the perfect photo timeline for the day. Below […]

I first met Laura back in 2014 when we both attended a workshop focused on film photography hosted by Belle Lumiere and taught by the wonderful Elisa Bricker.  We came to find we were two Virginia girls living in Nashville, and we had grown up not too far from one another! My, how things have come […]

  You may remember this sweet little boy, Elliot, from his newborn session in NYC, where he and his parents live. But, you also may remember Kate & Mark from their wedding at The Bridge Building in downtown Nashville. When Kate and I initially started talking about the different sessions throughout Elliot’s first year, she […]

When you were a child, I’m sure you spent some time thumbing through your parents’ wedding album or wedding prints. Even if you didn’t, maybe you enjoyed flipping through them as you’re planning your very own wedding. One thing I can guarantee is, you didn’t just look at their wedding photographs on Facebook. After all […]

I first met Mallory a few years ago, as I reached out to her because I was visiting Virginia for a friend’s wedding ( The adorable Torrance of Teak & Twine was marrying one of Jeremy’s close college friends). Shortly after some back and forth via email, I found that the wedding I was attending was the […]

For 2-3 weeks straight, it had oddly been at least 60-70 degrees in Virginia. Of course for the weekend of their session, the temperature dropped to typical March temperatures…though it sure didn’t feel like it after all those warm days. But, Kat & Stu didn’t let it phase them. It was a beautiful day with […]

For the last few years, I’ve been doing mini session marathons every fall. They’ve become a favorite for some families as a way to get another smaller family session in for the year, or something perfect for their Christmas card. It’s become something I love doing every single year, as it’s always a treat to […]

After 75+ family sessions in the last couple of years…I’ve learned a lot about what helps a session run extra smoothly. I’ve also gotten quite a few questions over the years, and I thought I’d share some tips here on the blog in case you’re planning for a family session yourself. See below for my […]

Before welcoming your first child, it’s hard to imagine how much your sweet baby will grow in their first year. After many, many family & baby sessions, I’m still astounded with the milestones of a child in the first 12 months. At each session, it’s hard to even recognize that sweet baby, as a few […]

I’m pretty sure Maggie & Zach’s heirloom box may be one of my favorites to date! It’s simple, classic and pure elegance. They chose a cream fabric with lovely gold foil, and I think it’s incredibly timeless. Plus, it’s so very fitting for the feel of their day. (In case you missed it, you can […]
