There’s something about shooting in snowy weather that makes me just feel totally… winter-y. Snow has yet to really hit in Virginia so I’m so thankful that my sweet (and GORGEOUS!) sister-in-law, Brittany mentioned that she and my niece had matching shirts and she really wanted some portraits of them together. I absolutely jumped on […]

I honestly cannot believe that 2016 is over! Well, almost anyway. It has been such an amazing first year back in business and I can’t thank my fantastic clients enough! You all are the most beautiful people I’ve had the honor of knowing and getting to celebrate so many special moments – engagements, weddings, baby […]

Senior portraits are always so much fun because being a senior in high school (or college!) is a whirlwind of emotions + wonderful things to do and celebrate. I was so excited when my cousin, Christopher, asked if he could pass along my information to one of his good friends (“adopted family”!). Celebrating seniors isn’t […]

Okay, I don’t think I can take anymore of my cousins growing up! Christopher is a senior in high school this year and I had the extreme pleasure of being asked to take his senior portraits! I’ve taken my sister’s – both high school + college (that would make for an interesting then + now […]

What can I say about these wonderful people?! I was so happy when Marla messaged me asking for a family session with her husband, Steven, sweet girl Ellie + Steven’s grandparents! She told me how big a part Steven’s grandparents play in their lives and as someone who loves her own grandparents very much, I […]

When I received Andrew + Nicole’s inquiry about photographing them and their family, I was thrilled! I loved the idea of getting to capture of all their friends + godchildren at this stage in life. When children are little (and when they’re grown!), I think it’s important to capture all the little moments that mean […]

OH MY GOODNESS. This family!! I have never, ever laughed so hard or so much during a family portrait session. The Jacks family got together to celebrate Keith’s 70th birthday + contacted me to photograph this special time for them. We met up off a cute little trail in Bristow VA and got right into […]

I’m not going to lie to you, I’ve been dreaming about this session since Chris + Kristin got engaged this summer. I kept telling Ryan that I wanted to take their pictures (no, really. Ask him). I mean, how could I not?! They’re some of our best friends + they’re gorgeous people. Their relationship is […]

Saturday night’s engagement session with Stacie + Kyle was certainly one for the books. We were in DC (which I never get to be), we went to a place in DC I’d never been (Theodore Roosevelt Island) and I actually drove into DC (and we made it back alive). We picked Theodore Roosevelt Island (okay, I […]

The Bolek family is a special bunch, without any question! Earlier in the year, I donated a session to the Barrie School’s silent auction. I was so excited when Clare emailed me letting me know she had been the winner + they were hoping to get their family pictures done in October. What a perfect […]
