About a month ago, I posted the first blog in this mini-series about what to wear for your maternity session when you’re the momma of a little girl. I’m so excited to share the next entry in this series about what to wear to your maternity session when you’re the momma (to-be) of a little […]

Kelly and I met Saturday morning for her maternity session in Downtown Fredericksburg, VA along the riverside which is simply stunning at sunrise! I had so much fun with this sweet momma-to-be documenting this amazing time in her life by capturing these maternity portraits. I was so excited to be able to expand my client […]

One of the questions I’m asked most of all is what to wear for a session with me. While I think wearing what makes you feel beautiful (or handsome) is most important, I think there’s a few ideas that are helpful in making sure the images we’re creating together come out the way we imagined […]

February 18th is here again which means my little sister has made another trip around the sun. And what a year it’s been! Since her last birthday, she’s become a graduate of Christopher Newport University, moved out on her own, gotten her first “real” job and settled in nicely to adulthood. I know this year […]

Earlier this week, I shared my accomplishments + well… my not-so shining moments from January and the start of the Contentment Challenge! I thought it would be a good idea to share my February goals! These are (of course) in addition to my existing guidelines! Find those here! Now, onto these goals… 1) Clean out […]

The first month of the Contentment Challenge is over! It seemed like a good idea to review how the month went – which truthfully, wasn’t as great as I’d hoped – as a way of holding myself accountable for the choices I’m making. I also wanted to share my goals for February, too (coming to […]

I’m so, so, so excited to finally get to share this wonderful family’s portrait session with the blog! I met Kristi and her sweet twins, Kasey & Kenna, in October for their portrait session at Occoquan Regional Park – a location that’s continuously one of my favorite spots to have sessions at because it’s so […]
