I am a do-er. I’m a self-proclaimed over-achiever and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love (most) every minute of my crazy life. I’m not very good at slowing down and I’m terrible at taking breaks – although I’m learning, because my marriage, my family and my friends all deserve that from me. […]

June 27, 2015 we got married. That’s 2 years ago, you guys! TWO YEARS. How did that happen?  I feel like people really aren’t joking when they say the older you get, the faster everything goes. I can’t believe that we’ve been married for 2 whole years! And what a two years it’s been, full […]

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 […]

Sometimes when it comes to my photography, I feel like fathers get left out. I’ve spent a lot of time creating a business around the bonds between parents and children but always seem to capture mommas and their little ones! And while that’s a beautiful bond, we can’t forget the dads! Fatherhood is such a […]

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 […]

Earlier this week, I talked about how occasionally (okay, a lot of the time!) I let negative feedback steal away my energy and excitement for whatever task I’m working on. It’s SO easy to believe the bad stuff and let one comment make you feel like you aren’t good at something. A lot of times, […]

I’ve always been told I wear my heart on my sleeve, that I take things too personally and maybe, even that I put too much of myself into whatever I do. And while, to some degree, all of those things are positives (and true!) because they make me the person that I am, I know that they’re […]

“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 […]

There’s nothing quite like Georgetown in the spring! The trees are blooming, the architecture almost seems to come to life and the town feels even more quaint than it already is. After rescheduling our session at least 4 times, I’m SO happy that I finally got to spend the morning with Melanie, Romel, Lily & […]
