One of my favorite places to do sessions is Old Town Petersburg.  A lot of people around here either say it is overused or just try to stay away from it.  Calling it “overused” basically sounds like a challenge to me!  There are endless places to discover there and so many looks you can achieve.  Historic Old Town has beautiful homes and streets, historic buildings, as well as landscape and greenery.  There are so many options!

Fall wedding season has officially started for us over here and we were thrilled to kick it off with Melissa & Cody!  I first got to hang out with these two at their engagement session, which was at the same farm they held their reception.  Cody’s family owns and operates a lot of farmland in Dinwiddie.  I don’t know if you remember that night my life changed when I saw a calf be born but it was with Cody & Melissa.  Even more little calves were walking around this weekend at the farm.  Melt my heart!

Meet Megan!  This girl has dreams and she is going places!!  I love meeting new seniors, hearing all about who they are, what they love, and where they want to go in life.  The sky is literally the limit right now for them and they are soon going to be remarking on a new journey! […]

A couple weeks ago, we were away at the beach on our family vacation.  We had the best time!  I am going to be blogging the pictures I took that week soon, for sure.  My brother & his family traveled down for their own family vacation the weekend we were leaving, but we overlapped a day so we planned family pictures for all of us!   Sean & Meghan are also in the photography business, as well as do videography (we got to all 4 do a wedding together this summer, for the first time, and LOVED IT), so of course we swap photo sessions when we can.  Perks of having family in the industry, right?  

What better place to have pictures taken than at the beach?!  Am I right?  It is a combination of the waves crashing, the beautiful sky, the way the sand acts as a perfect reflector to light up your face (ya get me, photogs?), and the overall way it makes people feel happier…all of that make it perfect for photos!  Know this, Kim & I were so excited when we realized we would be at the beach at the same time!!  I really wanted to capture Dan, Kim, and their sweet twin girls out by the ocean.   

Just a couple months ago, I got to attend an amazing workshop hosted by Katelyn James.  I knew I wanted to attend so that I could learn about my business and my craft.  Another thing I knew I would gain from that experience was friendships.  After attending that Magnolia workshop last fall, I met wonderful people who are truly there for me anytime I have a question, concern, need feedback, or just need some encouragement!!  True friends in the business!!  The KJ Workshop was no different!  The very first person I talked to on the first day was Nicole.  

The forecast for this past Saturday called for thunderstorms all day.  We were all certain we were in for a super rainy wedding day.  The dark gray clouds filled the sky when we pulled up the church, but with in 20 minutes, they were gone…and they never returned!! We started the day in Petersburg at […]

We moved to Prince George about 3 years ago. This county is very large with lots of farmland, and we love that about it! If you look at it on a map, you might not think this, but it is very “small town”. People are so polite and willing to help whenever they can. We […]

I am so excited to introduce you all to Connor!  He is about to start his senior year of high school and he is just a truly genuine guy.  I had never met Connor before his session and I could immediate tell how outgoing & laid back he was.  He has a great sense of […]

If there is one thing I have learned this past year of business, it is that you should always be learning!  Even when you think you know it all (which I definitely do not), there is always something else you can learn.  I have made it a point to educate myself, whether that is through […]
