I am so excited about sharing this gorgeous maternity session in Old Town Alexandria because it’s the first time I got to work with a professional model. Now I know what you’re thinking… Logyn is drop dead gorgeous, but I’m actually talking about Ryan. It’s a well known fact in our friend group that he […]

Maybe it was watching how much fun Pam and Ryan had on Saturday. Maybe it was how welcome the bridal party made me feel from the second I walked into the hotel room. Maybe it was seeing a bride who was best friends with her little sister, just like me. Maybe it was how incredibly […]

Dear Hudson, Two years ago 3:08 p.m. on April 29, 2015 you came into our lives like a bat out of hell. Literally. You spent the first 12 hours of your life screaming at the top of your lungs. Red faced and clearly bothered by something, no one could get you to stop crying. Much […]

I am not going to lie… this might be my favorite session I’ve ever photographed. That’s not to say I haven’t loved all of my other sessions as well, and there’s not a single couple or family I’ve worked with so far that I wouldn’t hang out with on the weekends, but this one is […]

It’s hard to believe I’ve known Allison for 13 years now. Meeting her freshman year of college at Virginia Tech would not only give me one of the best friends I could ever ask for, but it would also change the trajectoryof my life.If not for her, I would have never ended up in Charleston, […]

And that’s exactly what he did when he wanted to propose to Jennifer. Brad flew to St. Louis where Jennifer was visiting a friend and surprised her in the botanical gardens with […]

The older I get the more I realize my mom is usually right. Ok, so more like she’s always right. So upon telling her that I was going to be photographing Michelle and Tom’s engagement session and she started going on about how Tom is so nice and so funny and that Michelle had hit […]

Jessica is one of those people that instantly make you feel like you want to be friends with her. I know this because when I first met her last spring it was because I was supposed to join the staff at her elementary school and she was the first person I met. I remember being […]

Scott used to drive me high school every morning. I was lucky enough to live two houses down from my cousins, but I was even luckier that he shared the same love for *NSYNC back in the day that I did. Because that meanthe played the “No Strings Attached” album on our ten minute drive […]

I still remember going to Jayme’s dorm room for the very first time nearly 14 years ago to get ready to go out for the night after just getting in the same sorority at Virginia Tech. We’d go on to spend countless other nights together as roommates two years later, so there are not many […]
