I'm a published wedding and portrait photographer located in a small town outside of Charlottesville. In addition to capturing beautiful images, I love spending time with my family, am freakishly good at word games (Hey Wheelmobile!), love an ice cold can of Coke or Dr. Pepper, know every line to Hocus Pocus and can never pass up a Chick-fil-A waffle fry or a trip to HomeGoods.

Easter ’13

I know I’ve said it before, but I love Easter! It’s sort of the unofficial start to spring, plus I can eat all the Cadbury Mini Eggs I want and dye Easter Eggs. It’s fabulous! I will admit that this Easter is let me down a little bit though. Winter just didn’t seem to want […]

Spring Fling ’13

In late March my church celebrated Easter by hosting a Spring Fling. The event was extremely well attended with hundreds of church and community members coming out to celebrate the season. In fact, we basically ran out of everything–popcorn, hot dogs, cotton candy. However, everyone seemed to have a great time playing games, enjoying a […]

Flashback Friday: Fourth of July ’09

I can’t believe it’s almost Independence Day. I just photographed a high school graduation last Saturday and now next Saturday I’ll be photographing fireworks. Even though summer officially started today, I already feel like it is flying by. Next thing I know, I’ll be at the beach and then it’ll be my birthday. Crazy! At […]

March Snow

Lately, our winters have been pretty sparse. Ever since the Snowmageddon of 2010, we haven’t been getting a lot of snow each year. That’s actually fine with me; I’m not a winter weather person anyway. But, one random day in March, we received more than 6 inches of snow in the matter of a few […]

Flashback Friday: Fourth of July ’10

I don’t know why, but I’m feeling very into summer holidays right now. So, even though we’re in the middle of Tropical Storm Angela and I should probably be featuring past storm damage and bad weather on today’s Flashback Friday, I’ve instead decided to go with bright, sunny photos of a previous Fourth of July […]

The Hoffman-Miles Joint Baby Shower

Earlier this year, my church held a joint baby shower for two families that attend the church–The Hoffmans and the Miles. Coincidentally, both were expecting new baby girls so the shower was splashed in various shades of pink. I hadn’t planned to shoot the shower, but I just happened to have my camera with me so […]

Flashback Friday: May Birthday Celebration ’11

My grandmother and my nephew share the same birthday, so in 2011 we hosted a joint surprise birthday cookout for them. Nanny, as we call her, celebrated her 75th birthday while Guy celebrated his third. The party also coincided with Mother’s Day so we celebrated that as well. And all three make the perfect Flashback […]

Flashback Friday: Rhen and Erin’s Prom ’10

I was having a hard time coming up with a topic for this week’s Flashback Friday. Then it hit me that prom season is right around the corner, so what better to flashback to than a previous prom photo session. Rhen and Erin went to prom in 2010, he sporting Virginia Tech accents and she […]
