Orange County, Virginia, located just outside of Charlottesville, is full of beautiful wedding venues and Mayhurst Estate is no exception. It’s a beautiful, historic bed and breakfast located just outside the Town of Orange. It was built in 1859 and has been a private home, a headquarters, a cattle farm and a boarding house. It’s […]

In 2021, I had the opportunity to participate in a styled shoot at various locations throughout Lynchburg, including Firehouse 4. The shoot raised funds for the YWCA of Central Virginia which aims to empower women, children and families. They have a domestic violence prevention program, a sexual assault response program and a women’s residential housing […]

Despite COVID still being a thing (seriously, go away already!), 2021 was a year filled with big moments, beautiful weddings, fantastic portrait sessions, a few styled shoots and so much fun. First, this is the year I welcomed my second daughter, Hensley Bernice. This girl came right on her due date, which happened to also […]

A helicopter, a stick tepee and boho bridal inspiration? Sign me up y’all! Nearly four years ago, I had the opportunity to participate in a styled wedding shoot at Snead’s Asparagus Farm in Fredericksburg. The shoot was based around a fiesta-style theme with a taco bar, margaritas, pinatas, bright colors and tons of fun Spanish-themed […]

Is there anything better than colorful bridal inspiration? I don’t think so, especially right now during all of this COVID-19 bleakness. We can all use a little brightness in our lives. Almost four years ago (I can’t believe it has been that long!), I captured a fiesta-style wedding shoot at Snead’s Asparagus Farm in Fredericksburg. […]

Sunflowers and baby bumps are the perfect combination. Snead’s Asparagus Farm was the site of Danielle’s first maternity session. It was unusually warm for January, but still had that wintery feel. It’s also the spot where we captured Noah’s six month photos and some of his other milestones so it only made sense we’d return […]

Myeshia and Devin aren’t high school sweethearts, they’re middle school sweethearts. These two met at John J. Wright Middle School in band. Does it get any sweeter than that? When Myeshia contacted me with the idea to have a portrait session at the place they first met, I was excited! It’s not often that two […]

I’m going back into the archives to share images from a favorite late summer Fredericksburg family session. Noah’s parents first came to me for a maternity session when they were expecting. We’ve since captured tons of photos and I love getting to document their family as he gets older. Noah’s 6-month session is one of […]

I’m delving into the archives to highlight a beautiful summer session from 2016. It’s not often that I get to have a session close to home, so when Deanna contacted me about her maternity session in Orange, I was super excited! Taylor Park, which I’ve walked and driven by a million times, has great brick […]

Earlier this summer, I was contacted by good friends, Rob and Stephanie, inquiring about a portrait session with their sweet pup, Wyatt. I’ve shot a few weddings with Stephanie and being a dog person myself (Hey Buddy!), I love when people include their pets in their family portraits. They’re a member of the family, too, […]
