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.

Shannon and Stephen | Fredericksburg Engagement

My first interaction with Shannon was when she sent me a note about her upcoming wedding through Facebook. I saw that she was a UMW graduate and I knew then that she and her fiancee, Stephen, were going to be amazing and that was solidified when I met up with them last month for their […]

Charlotte | 6 Month Valentine’s Day Photos

Since my blog has been out of commission for a few weeks while I was migrating to a new host and server, I’m also fairly behind in blog posts so forgive me that it’s April and I’m posting a Valentine’s Day themed shoot. However, I’m fairly certain the subject of these photos is so adorable […]

Last month, I shared the first part of a gorgeous snowy shoot featuring Emily. Now it’s Ally’s turn. Ally is the daughter of a local photographer who participated in this impromptu shoot taking advantage of a January snowstorm. She graciously modeled for us in gorgeous gowns not only in the freezing snow, but also on […]

Danielle + Josiah | Fredericksburg Virginia Maternity

I recently met up with Danielle and Josiah at Sneads Asparagus Farm on a warm, early January day. It had rained all week, but thankfully we had a dry, yet windy, day with the most amazing afternoon light filtering through the clouds. Danielle and Josiah are awaiting the birth of their baby boy, Noah, and […]

Delaney Family | Virginia Family Photographer

A few weeks before Christmas, I met up with the Delaney family at Snead’s Asparagus Farm to capture some family photos. It was a cold, damp day, but that didn’t stop us from getting some great, fun photos for their Christmas card. Here’s a few of favorites:

Hannah | Fredericksburg Senior Portraits

When Hannah shared her vision for her senior portraits, she was pretty clear about what she wanted–fall colors, barns and something unique among her classmates. I’d say we did a great job of checking off her wishlist. Last month, we headed out to Snead’s Asparagus Farm, which also operates a pumpkin patch and a Christmas […]

Baby Addison | Newborn Photography

So if you remember, a few months ago I posted Anthony and Laura’s maternity photos. Not long after those were taken, Baby Addison made an early appearence. I think maybe she realized that being a late summer baby is much better than a fall baby because, I mean, think of the birthday parties. You can’t […]

Baby Charlotte | Newborn Photography

Last month, I had the pleasure of photographing baby Charlotte, my third niece. At a little less than three weeks old, she was wide awake and ready for her closeup. These are only a few of the many photos we took, but it’s safe to say I’m fairly obsessed with her big bows and grey […]

Preparing for Baby Addison | Virginia Maternity

Last month, I had the pleasure of meeting up with these two to snap a few photos to document the impending arrival of their first baby. It was a little hot, but otherwise perfect as we took to the University of Mary Washington campus for some warm, bright photos. It’s probably a good thing we took […]
