Yes, I’m lumping anniversary and inspirational sessions into one blog post! Let’s start with the anniversary sessions… I’m going to begin with this vow renewal/anniversary session with Nicole and her family. This Fall session was unforgettable! Venue: Great Marsh Estate | Florals: Blushing Bloom Event Florist | Hair and Make Up: I Do Artistry | Ring Boxes: The Mrs. Box Rachel and […]

It’s always fun to photograph a gorgeous anniversary session, but it’s even better when it’s a fellow photographer (and friend!). Not only has Nicole photographed with me at weddings, but she also photographed my brother’s wedding. And you don’t have to spend much time with her to see how much she loves her husband and […]

What an incredibly lovely couple Rachel and Chad really are! Originally, their anniversary session was scheduled for the summer on their anniversary. Due to Salamander being shut down during that time, we rescheduled for September. And my did we get the perfect weather for an anniversary session at Salamander Resort and Spa. Salamander Resort & […]

The inspiration for this styled anniversary session at the Great Marsh Estate comes from the English Gardens that so often accompanied Georgian style estates in the late 1700s. In replicating the color palette and style of the era, we also sought to pull it into the 21st century by blending film and digital formats as […]

It’s a wonderful thing when you have the chance to visit your best friend and collaborate on a styled shoot at one of the most lovely, faerie tale venues in the Southwest.  Anyone planning a Phoenix Wedding really must visit Chateau de Vie.  Any Phoenix Wedding Photographer should visit Chateau de Vie!  It’s elegance and […]

The title of this blog post might be a bit misleading…yes this is a “mini” styled shoot, but it is also on the eve of Kristen and Alex’s three month anniversary!  I have LOVED working with this incredibly genuine and gracious couple from the beginning.  So when they agreed to model for me, I was […]

This post has been a long time coming! It is very dear to my heart. This coming October marks fifteen years of marriage for my husband and I. So we decided to celebrate early at the beach. Late last year, my parents suggested a group of us renting a large beach house for all (including […]

I am so excited to share an incredibly special session with you! Jeff and Bernadette were married in Warrenton last year with a Rixey Manor reception and it was one of the most family oriented weddings you could ever imaging. I had so much fun getting to know their family and seeing how strong their […]

I am supposed to be writing about my anniversary weekend today (which was at the end of October), and I can’t ignore the people and the thoughts and prayers in my heart this past year. So this won’t be exactly what one might expect… On more than one occasion, I have heard my sweet friend […]

Can I just start by saying I LOVE Old Town Alexandria? I can see why George Washington wanted it. So if you pair the cobblestone allys and the Carlyle House with a gorgeous couple who just can’t help being happy together, you get one pretty amazing engagement session. Bernadette and Jeff have such a sweet […]
