Dr. George

I recently photographed Dr. George at his home near Lake Anne – in Virginia – for an article that will be written about him and had a great time photographing, listening to stories, and getting to know him + his wife. It was an overcast day, but still beautiful out so we did most of [...]

romantic bridal session

You’ve seen their engagement photos – and now, since the wedding day on Saturday, the bridal photos I took of Lisa can come out of hiding and be shown to the world. Lisa kept her dress a big secret, as most brides do until their wedding day, and she looked gorgeous the day of. I [...]

Mary Claire

Mary Claire is one of my closest friends and this summer the stars aligned and I was able to spend a week visiting her en route to a wedding. Well, it was actually her cousin’s wedding and it was so much fun to be a part of and they made me feel like part of [...]

Photo PARTY

You may have heard me talk about photo parties – or seen the event on facebook, but if you haven’t I wanted to give you a little intro to what they are. I just had my first in Michigan which was hosted by my sister and it went great so I’m looking forward to a [...]

//Megan

Remember that little contest I had a while back? The jumping photos one where things got crazy since it was such a close finish? Well, I present to you our winner, Megan. She won a free shoot and so we ventured out to capture some fun pictures. After trying things at a few different locations, [...]
