This may be one of my favorite color combinations for the Heirloom Box. Seafoam with hints of blue & green with gold foil – so elegant! This box was so fitting to Rebecca & Joseph’s wedding day, but also to their sweet personalities and style. Though I don’t offer the usb compartments anymore (every couple […]

One of the parts of my work that I treasure most is seeing stories come to life in print. Over the past year, I’ve had the joy of working with countless families who’ve had me along to document their sweet children grow over the course of months and it has been such a dear set […]

  When Meghan originally contacted me about photographing her wedding, I was living in Nashville and so excited about the opportunity to shoot another Virginia wedding. After a few minutes of talking, we realized we actually went to the same high school and that her finace, Dan, actually taught at the high school we both […]

Iceland: our final destination of The Cherry Trek. It was unlike any of our other destinations and the best way to top off our five week trip in Europe. It’s been so fun to relive all of our destinations throughout the trip (see all the posts below!), but it makes me sad to be blogging […]

I remember the first day I met Megan, as we arranged to meet over coffee to discuss sessions, collections, and heirlooms. She was eager with anticipation in welcoming her sweet little boy, Liam. It’s hard to believe it was almost a year ago that I met her, as her sweet little boy has been gracing […]

I grew up in a small town in the country, but I’ve always had an affinity for the city life. There’s an indescribable energy as people of all ages, backgrounds, and cultures fill the streets during their everyday life. I’ve always been obsessed with NYC, and anyone I met simply raved about Paris. So, Paris was […]

When originally planning #thecherrytrek, one of Jeremy’s biggest destinations was Switzerland. Not necessarily a specific city, but he dreamed of seeing the Alps, as he thrives in the mountains. Truly, this guy feels most alive in the mountains. He loves everything about the mountains, so of course, the Alps had to be on his list. (Not […]

There’s no doubt we are fully in the swing of summer. It was a bit of a milder start, and now the heat waves have come in Virginia. My favorite sessions are always sessions that involve kids simply being kids. You may remember this sweet boy from this bath session at home in the most […]

Though the entire trip was something we’ll never forget, when someone asks us what our favorite place was, Cinque Terre is always at the top of the list. It’s really a place we were able to slow down and simply “be” and enjoy all of our favorite things. We hiked four out of five days […]

The forecast was calling for rain the day before the wedding, and unfortunately, not the kind of “here and there” or light rain. Usually, a few days out, you can count on it changing, but the day before….not so much. It was raining for Haley & Patrick’s engagement session (also pouring that day), so I […]

Rome is one of those cities that really leaves you without words to describe it. The colors, the smells, the winding streets, the endless streets, the charisma, the character, the charm. It’s a city begging to be explored, all the nooks and the roads that lead to somewhere, and all the roads that lead to […]

The forecast was calling for rain at the beginning of the week, and Angela & Geremiha had planned a beautiful rooftop wedding in downtown Nashville at Aerial. They’d marry on the rooftop under the open sky with their closest friends and family. Well, the week before, the rain never let up, but thankfully, the rain moved […]
