Bryan + Michelle This day started with so many smiling faces, laughter, and “oh my goodness it’s finally here!”  It seems like I was just at the Culpepper Barn with Bryan & Michelle for their engagement session a year ago.  These two were so easy to fall in love with.  Michelle’s joy is infectious and […]

Wade & Jocelyn Wade & Jocelyn rang the door bell to our home sometime in October. Jake and I welcomed in their bright smiling faces and they took their places on our couch.  We chatted, laughed and enjoyed getting to know them.   Two hours later they were still there, but it only felt like a […]

Rudy & Taylor A week or so ago I met up with Rudy & Taylor in the Virginia Beach Town Center for their engagement session. This was not our originally planned spot.  Taylor wanted to have her session at First Landing State Park, but the morning of the session it was raining horribly.  I usually […]

Andy & Ally I will literally never forget the day Ally and her mother met me in my living room.  She had two completely different patterned socks on.  I jokingly commented on them and she smiled back with the best response.  Her response has actually set me free from caring if my socks ever match.  […]

Matt & Jennifer The week before last I met up with the most perfect Matt & Jennifer!  These two traveled all the way to the gorgeous First Landing State Park for their engagement session and it was just the most perfect day for a shoot!  The colors were absolutely perfect, the temperature wasn’t too cold […]

Kevin + Danielle The weather in Virginia Beach has been so unpredictable and rainy lately.  You can never really know what the weather here is going to do. Danielle was watching the weather report daily.  She was so nervous because their session date was calling for rain days in advance. We texted multiple times and […]

Addam + Breana  This was such a fun engagement session. Well all of our sessions are pretty fun, honestly, but these two made my job so easy.  I don’t really want to call it that, because I love it too much for it to ever actually feel like it is a job.  Addam & Breana […]

John + Ally I walked into the bridal suite at Joe & Ashley’s wedding August 30th. I quickly got started on detail photos when in walked Alysa!  She quickly began swooning over the detail shot set-up I placed together & started a conversation.  She was the sweetest.  After a few moments of chatting she began to […]

Sean + Amanda About this time last year, we were heading down to Florida to catch a family cruise.  We planned it out so perfectly.  We would stop in North Carolina along the way to do Sean & Amanda’s engagement session at their wedding venue.  The wedding they’d have exactly one year later.  When we […]

Sam + Heidi It is hard to describe how much Jake & I loved being a part of Sam & Heidi’s wedding day.  The day was so authentic and genuine and full of the best kind of love. We are always a little nervous when we’ve not had the chance to meet the bride and groom […]
