It’s no secret that my business really came to be the first time around because I went to school at a conservatory where every other weekend, there was  a student recital or performance that needed advertisements. I spent many early Saturday mornings with people I love dearly capturing their headshots and promotional portraits while at […]

Having a brother or sister (or more than one!) is one of the greatest gifts given to us within a family. They’re the people that learn us and know us better than most anyone else on the planet, they’re the friends you’re stuck with for life, the ones who love you harder than anyone else […]

During the start of my pregnancy, I stayed off of social media a lot more than normal for two reasons. One was that I was too tired and out of it to want to sit down and craft perfect captions or blog posts when I could barely keep my eyes open during “Hoarders”. The second […]

I grew up with the extreme privilege of being able to travel down to the Outer Banks in North Carolina just about every summer from the time I started school through college with my family because my grandparents own a lovely house on the island. The few summers I had to miss the trips were […]

Last September, I began a new journey for my business: I started to work as a virtual assistant (VA) for two companies – a husband and wife – in Charlotte, NC. From there, I began growing and took on more local clients before expanding up north and into Chicago even! I work with wedding planners, […]

I was so excited when Frank came by to chat with me about a family session for him, his wife and their two sweet grandchildren while they were visiting for the summer. We chose Government Island because it’s so close to us but also such a beautiful property!! Our session fell on one of the […]

I went to school in Winchester, VA and that’s where this whole photography business really got started (and I’m SO thankful for all of my amazing classmates who trusted me with their headshots + recital posters). Because of having started my business there, I still have a client base and I love when I get […]

One of the things I’m asked most often when planning a portrait session is where to go. While I always think it’s great to pick a location that means something to you, sometimes that a) isn’t possible due to time/permits/money, b) isn’t possible because you’re not from here or c) you just would like somewhere different […]

“People always say life is full of choices, no one ever mentions fear. Or how the world can seem so vast, on a journey to the past.” A few weekends ago, I was lucky enough to travel up to NYC with a dear friend of mine from college to see Anastasia on Broadway. Which I still […]

Every time I get to see this family, I’m so happy! A few years ago I photographed Heather & Joe’s wedding and now I’m getting to photograph their sweet family! I can’t believe their little ones are already (almost) 1 and 3!! Time goes way too fast. I’m so thrilled we were able to get […]
