One of my life philosophies is that everything happens for a reason. One day I received an inquiry from a bride who was looking for a wedding photographer. Her original wedding photographer was pregnant and due right around the time of her wedding which is amazing for her photographer but also a little nerve wrecking as a bride. (Baby ended up being born 3 days before the wedding day and is doing great!) When Amy and I first chatted over the phone about her Barns at Hamilton Station Virginia Wedding, I got off the phone thinking “Wow Amy is so bubbly and full of personality.”
Fast forward, Amy and Brandon booked me for their Barns at Hamilton Station Virginia Wedding. I was greeted with a ginormous hug from Amy and was surprised how tall she is!! Amy and Brandon’s wedding day was such a gorgeous fall day in Virginia filled with joy, laughter, and happy tears. They are such a beautiful couple, inside and out and such a joy to be around. Another one of my life philosophies is that you should always surround yourself with positive people and that’s exactly how Amy and Brandon are. I hope I get to see this happy couple again soon. Thank you both, from the bottom of my heart, for choosing me and trusting me with capturing your special day!

Scott and Pilar privately exchanged their vows in a courthouse wedding in Alexandria, creating an intimate start to their journey together. A few weeks later, we met on […]
Every year, fall mini sessions are a huge hit with families! They’re the perfect way to update your annual family portraits and get beautiful images for Christmas cards. In 2024, these Fall Morven Park 2024 Fall Mini sessions sold out quickly, which is why I offered three different dates at three unique locations. Morven Park […]
What do you do when the weather forecast teases rain on your wedding day, but the skies stay dry—right up until the ceremony? If you’re Daisy and Adam, you embrace the moment! As they walked down the aisle at their outdoor ceremony, the rain finally made an appearance. But as Adam so perfectly said during […]
Photographing the Usman Fall Morven Park Family Session again this year was such a treat! We met at the beautiful Morven Park on a stunning fall day in October, with Virginia’s leaves showing off their peak colors. The golden hues, vibrant reds, and deep oranges created the perfect backdrop for this fun and lively session. […]
There’s something so special about capturing a family on the brink of a new chapter. This sweet family of three is soon welcoming their second little girl, and I couldn’t be more excited for them!
