Laura + Tyler are some of my favorite people to photograph. I’ve known them for a few years now and watched their family grow, which is always such a special relationship to have. When Laura messaged me on Instagram that she was interested in helping with this project, I absolutely said yes! These high school […]

One of the best parts about the Celebrating Love series is that I get to learn all about the wonderful couples I’m photographing and their stories. Although I’ve known Kirslyn since high school (won’t tell you how long that’s been!), hearing her + Melissa’s love story is brand new to me. These two have been […]

For the longest time, the idea of creating a portrait series that celebrated relationships, engagements and marriages has been on my heart. ​I don’t know why exactly, other than human relationships have always (and probably always will) fascinated me. What makes us choose our significant other? What makes us work hard to keep the relationship […]

When we found out I was pregnant, I’d be lying if I said that one of the first few thoughts I had about the entire thing was how this would impact my business. I love what I do  and I love who I work with, but I also know that we’ve wanted a baby and to […]

Highlighting some of my favorite locations is fun for a few reasons: I love getting to look back at older sessions to pull images from, I love sharing new spots to photograph my clients and allowing them find somewhere new to enjoy and I think it’s just fun to show you how unique a location […]

Maternity sessions mean so much to me – I’m capturing a very special time in a family’s story for them, reminding them how it feels as their family expands. But friends? Getting to capture this momma’s FOURTH pregnancy is such a gift. I feel incredibly lucky that Rosanna and Rob have trusted me to capture […]

Parents, raise your hand if the thought of having to find the perfect outfit for your family portraits stresses you out. Raise your hand if that stress has prevented you from booking a session and capturing the moments of your life before they pass by. Although I can’t see you through this screen, I have […]

The fall is such a gorgeous time to have portraits with your sweetheart done – the colors just make everyone smile and there’s no better excuse to cozy up than a slight chill in the air. Whether you’re dating, engaged, celebrating your anniversary or just realized your pictures are all selfies, having a portrait session together is a […]

There’s something really special about mommy + me sessions – especially when three generations are involved! These three beautiful ladies were so much fun to work with in Fredericksburg VA. The riverfront is always such a lovely spot to play and we were blessed with absolutely gorgeous weather! Although Penelope wasn’t having the session until […]

I can’t say enough wonderful things about downtown Occoquan! I’ve loved this part of Northern VA since I was a little girl – I used to come up here to go boating with my grandparents and now, Ryan and I have fallen in love again with the charm of this town – it’s restaurants, it’s […]
