I love documenting families each year as they grow, but experiencing fall in the Shenandoah Valley makes it even better. Each year Virginia really shows off with a display of colors second to none. The Malay family invited me to their beautiful Harrisonburg, Virginia property and we twirled and romped in the leaves as the […]
So, our story, continued…. (you can read part one here) Chris came home almost every weekend his Freshman year (sans home football/basketball game weekends). He loved Virginia Tech, Hokie sports, and all things Blacksburg (and to this day, still does). I visited for a football game weekend and was instantly hooked, too. I had visited […]
“I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.” -John Green in The Fault in Our Stars I was 16. Chris had just turned 18 and was a month away from high school graduation. Though we’d lived no more than 10 minutes apart practically our entire lives and shared […]
It almost seems like ages have passed, but 1.5 weeks ago Zachery & Hillary said “I do” in front of their family and friends at Mount Vernon Farm in Sperryville, Virginia. The world seems to be spinning a little faster now. All other events/weddings are postponed until the global pandemic comes to a close. I’m […]
Rivercrest Farm in Elkton, Virginia was the perfect mountain flocked backdrop for Nate & Heather’s October wedding day. The perfect culmination of a long line of struggles and disappointments, this day reminded all of us where you’ll land with a touch of patience mixed with a ton of faith. I’ve known Nate for as long […]
Little sweet and spunky Thea is turning three! I loved running around the sunflower field with her while she showed the many fun sides of an almost-preschooler. Her energy and laughter were contagious! Photographing children of my long-time friends is so special. I’ve known Thea’s mom, Jessica, for the bulk of my life. She has […]
Miss C is another year older! I have loved watching her grow and change. This time, it is especially sweet because her parents are our long time friends. Isn’t their family farm a picturesque background? I just love the mountain surround and the hay filled barn. The light leaks through the gaps in the boards […]
I honestly can’t remember when I first met Josh. My grandparent’s house separated mine and his when I was growing up and I was schoolmates and a friend of his younger brother, Dustin. Sarah and I met during my student teaching stint at McGaheysville Elementary School (my former teacher life before taking my photo business […]
Just look at these two! So happy. So in love. THRILLED to be husband and wife! I’m so grateful we had the privilege to document this special day. Adam and Brianna’s wedding was the second we’ve photographed at Bible Holiness Church, and let me tell you, friends, there’s just something special about that place. The […]
This. family. I don’t have the words for these five! I first photographed the Cooks when A (their oldest) was turning one and E was on the way. I’ve loved watching them grow and change. Clients turned real, true friends is my absolute favorite part of what I do. And here’s what Ashley had to […]
