  I remember two and half years ago I lead off a newly designed website with a family newborn session. Today I’m doing the same thing. I love being invited into the homes of families with newborns. It’s such a precious and special time. I enjoyed everything about this newborn session in Charlottesville a few […]

Brooke and Bradley have the sweetest love story! They met on a cruise ship while they were both on family vacations. They didn’t exchange contact information, but four months later Bradley found Brooke through looking for her online. Then the rest is history! The couple had the most heartfelt ceremony with their own vows, and […]

Church weddings in the heat of June are amazing! It was a VERY warm day for Carla and Dylan’s wedding, so a nice cool church ceremony was certainly welcomed! Even though this couple opted not to have a first look they left plenty of time for bride and groom portraits. Everywhere you looked at Riverview […]

Jen and Alex’s Keswick Vineyards wedding was joyful from start to finish! Jen and Alex’s reception was filled with so much excitement: a choreographed bride and groom dance, a family song, the shoe game, and then blind folded guessing games. I’m so happy for Jen and Alex because after living a few years on different […]

Baby Announcement Family Session

Waking up early for an engagement session as pretty as this is not a problem! I loved walking around the Tidal Basin with Ryann and Andrew this week taking their engagement photos. We had been watching the Cherry Blossom’s in DC for a few weeks, and even reschedule the session so that we would have […]

It was a chilly, I mean a FREEZING day for this engagement session. We were taking photos in 30 degree weather! We thought it was going to at least be 40 degrees, but that didn’t happen. However what did happen is that this awesome couple still managed to look comfortable, and happy during the entire […]
