This blog post is really full circle and so special to me.  Lindsey and I met in second grade at Cool Spring Elementary School and basically lived at each other’s houses throughout middle and high school.  Our favorite past time was biking through our neighborhoods that connected to go get McDonald’s and check out a […]

Ashley and Eric had the perfect Fall evening for their engagement shoot!  It felt so strange meeting them at 3:30 because we weren’t used to the sun setting so early but the lighting was perfect!! Eric and Ashley’s first date was on the rooftop at Quirk so it only made since to do some photos […]

When Craig and I moved to Puddle Duck Lane (yes, we are obsessed with the name) we had no idea that the sun set in our backyard like it does.  I actually loved the office space in the house and thought that maybe one day, I could offer indoor sessions for senior drape pictures but […]

Nick and Leslie had such an AMAZING Fall wedding day a little less than two weeks ago. The day started at Leslie’s parents house and it was probably my favorite getting ready atmosphere ever! Her parents live in a gorgeous home in Crozier, Va and Leslie’s bridesmaids were her 3 younger sisters. They all got […]

I’m so excited to share Lindsey and Rob’s wedding day at Linden Row Inn with you!  Lindsey and I have really gotten to know each other over the past year during her wedding planning journey, I’m sad that’s all over but know we will be friends for awhile.  Another awesome and slightly intimidating thing about […]

Jessie and Hagan are the ONLY AE bride and groom I had not met until their wedding day. There have been a select few times, I’d never met the groom, but never both the bride and groom. I tell you this because I left their wedding feeling like not just acquaintances but friends! Jessie & […]

I have been counting down for this day for SO long!!! Matt and Mackenzie were originally supposed to be married February 13th, 2021.  Unfortunately, there was still a guest limit at this point and big events weren’t happening.  Another, crazy thing is February 13th there was a huge ICE STORM in Richmond so being with […]

This engagement session felt like I was photographing old friends when really I’ve only met Lianne and Ryan one other time. They are just that friendly and easy to get along with!! Lianne’s brother got married this past March and I vividly remember watching her and Ryan interact and thinking to myself “they will be […]

Joseph and Becca’s beautiful wedding is one I’ll never forget. It was my first time at Oakdale and it made me so excited for 3 more weddings there in the next year because it’s an amazing venue. It is tucked away in Ashland, Va surrounded by a lake, amazing sunlight, and beautiful views! Joseph and […]

Josh and Bekah had an amazing wedding day on Sunday at the Renaissance downtown Richmond.  They had the perfect weather even if it got a little hot while we were taking portraits.  This wedding was my first Jewish wedding and I guarantee you it won’t be my last, I had a blast!!! There are so […]
