It’s such a treat when other photographers welcome me to photograph their family. I know what it’s like to see and hope for certain photos for your own family, as you’re so used to being behind the camera. You hope for certain images while also releasing…and when another photographer chooses to release their trust into […]

What a joy it is to photograph a couple’s first day of marriage….and what a joy it is to continue walking by them as they celebrate new milestones and seasons! I photographed Andrew & Nicole’s wedding a couple of years ago, a few short months after having Eisley (fun fact, it snowed for their April […]

Oh, where to begin with these two. Meagan & Tristan are some of the kindest souls you’ll meet, and that was an even more evident truth on their wedding day. I first met them in the fall of 2018 for their engagement session in D.C., and about 10 minutes into their session, a thunderstorm hit….even […]

  We are all spending a lot more time at home with the ones we love (though I totally realize that reality looks very different for many of us!), so I found it only fitting to share a recent favorite at-home session with the Joyce family. If you’ve been following a while, you’ve probably picked […]

On a chilly fall day, James & Rebecca’s family and friends gathered around the cozy fireplace at Early Mountain Vineyards to watch them wed. From the jewel tones to winter fruits to the lovely velvet accents and candle light, James and Rebecca’s wedding was everything warm and everything lively. We all know Early Mountain is […]

I’m a bit sad it’s taken me this long to share this sweet family on the blog, but I’m also still a bit confused that it’s already February! Though winter can usually trickle by slowly, I feel like I’ve been playing catch-up this year. But, that’s besides the point. I’ve been so eager to share […]

Seeing a couple’s vision come together after months (or more!) of planning is always such a treat. Sophia & Drew wed this past fall at Big Spring Farm and I loved seeing how they used this gorgeous venue in a way I hadn’t see before. After their blended tradition ceremony that brought all the tears, […]

Oh the joy of new life! My calendar has been full of newborn sessions lately, and they just keep getting sweeter. Whether it’s a client’s first child or the next child in their family, it’s always such a joy to document the season they are in. It’s such a treat to watch the dynamics unfold […]

I always trick myself into believing these roundup posts from each year will get easier…but here I am finishing up this post much later than I anticipated because it’s just so darn hard to pick your favorite photos when you get the chance to work with so many amazing couples in one year! This post […]

Alas, another year has passed. And though it felt like the fastest year yet, these photographs reminded me just how much time a year holds. So many seasons and so much growth. Throw in a dash of parenthood, and all of a sudden, you’ve forgotten just how much life has been lived since January 1st. […]

Now that my fall season is slowing down, I’m excited to share some of my sessions from the fall. First up, the Kelley Family. Their session still gives me alllll the feels, long after it’s been delivered and enjoyed. The Kelley family is officially expecting another sweet one to join their family, so they turned […]

A golden day on the cusp of fall and the end of summer. The blue ridge mountains in the distance on the day they had been waiting for. Julia & Taylor married in September at the lovely Big Spring Farm in Lexington, VA. You may remember Julia from her bridal session I posted last week! […]
