Now that editing is caught up, the holidays are over, and I’m getting back into the swing of things, I thought it be a great time to catch up on blogging! First up is this incredibly stunning Great Marsh Warrenton VA Film Maternity Session for Weddings by Hana. I’m sure you’ve seen her pop up on my Instagram a time or two. We have worked together for the last few years and she photographed my maternity session in 2019 so it was such an honor photographing hers a year later.
In case you’ve never heard of Great Marsh or you’ve never seen it, it’s one of the most amazing wedding venue’s in Virginia. When you drive through the gates you drive along a beautiful tree lined driveway. Then you see this stunning Georgian mansion. It’s one of my favorite venues because the mansion is simply breathtaking. I feel like I’m in Europe because of the amazing architecture and landscaping.
In 2019, Weddings by Hana photographed my maternity session at Great Marsh so it was fun coming back a year later to photograph her maternity session. Hana’s baby girl, Victoria will be her and Javier’s second child. Their first child, Nora is so excited to become a big sister!!

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!
