I am happy to announce my first ever Cherry Blossom mini sessions! Is it your first Spring as a married couple or is this your millionth blossom season together and you just want ONE photo of all the kids smiling just once!? I got you covered. You can go formal with a gown & glam up or jump in your jeans and admire the pink blossoms all around!

I have been dying to shoot at Sekrit Theater for years now! I have a huge crush on glass conservatories so when I found out that I would be traveling to Texas for a wedding, I knew it was my chance to go and see this venue for myself! Katie and Michael were such champs during our chilly morning session!

Ashley and Colton are about the sweetest pair you’ll ever meet. These two are actually tying the knot on a cruise with friends and family this year! Because they will have a very low key wedding with a smaller amount of photos than a traditional big Texas wedding, they decided to go classic with an engagement session at The White Sparrow Barn in Quinlan Texas.

When I first opened Dogwood Lane, I never dreamed that I would be posing in the space! Once a year, Ben and I have our photos taken together. Sometimes it’s during Christmas, sometimes it’s an anniversary session.. but this year, I’ve been really inspired by boudoir. I wanted to start offering couple’s boudoir sessions but before I did, I needed to feel what it’s like to be on the other side of the camera. After getting married, I undoubtedly became a better wedding photographer. The same rule applies to boudoir!

Sarah & Gus planned an engagement session that was so uniquely them. These two feel most at home cozied up with a cocktail in hand just hanging out so their favorite bar, The Truxton Inn, was the perfect setting! Since I am so used to photographing outside at the monuments, this was a lovely change of pace for me! I am SO glad I got to snap these images for this stunning couple before they tie the knot on the West Coast!

Abbey & William planned a trip to South Florida to celebrate their one year anniversary. We actually snapped these portraits on the exact day these two got hitched one year ago! When deciding where to have their session, Abbey knew she wanted a few beach snaps but some classic South Florida backdrops as well. I suggested Worth Avenue and it seemed like the perfect match!

I met Victoria over a year ago! I was hired to photograph her sister’s wedding at the Josephine Butler Parks Center. Victoria is a photographer herself AND was a bridesmaid. I myself have been in this position and know what it’s like to want to take pictures of your loved one getting married! I encouraged her to snap some images during the day and she was the biggest help during their Alex’s day! Fast forward to THIS fall and Victoria is engaged herself!

This couple right here has my heart! They have a sweetness about them that is unrivaled. They actually met in 6th grade and have been dating for over 9 years… and it shows! They have an easy nature around one another that can only be developed by time. They have a deep history and spend lots of time with family. Vincent even proposed at the Jersey Shore surrounded by siblings and family!

Time after time I receive questions about engagement spots with mountain overlooks. My more adventurous hiking couples want pictures that are true to their relationship, pictures of them seeking adventure. I decided to put together this little list to help anyone seeking stunning Virginia mountain views.

Amanda and Noah came to me through one of my all time favorite couples from a few years back so I just knew we would have a fun, relaxed hour at Jefferson. These two are so laid back and such good sports in front of the camera. They even let me practice using my Contax!
