For Raichyl’s session, we headed to Miller School of Albemarle, and let me tell you—this campus is a photographer’s dream. With its historic architecture and sweeping views, it provided the perfect stage for a girl who is used to being in the spotlight. A Little Bit of “Family Drama” (The Good Kind!) Every session has […]

Graduation season in Charlottesville is always a whirlwind of emotion, but Lucy’s celebration this past May proved that sometimes the best moments are the ones you don’t originally plan for. Celebrating years of hard work at UVA, Lucy and three of her closest friends gathered their families for what began as an afternoon at a […]

There is a quiet magic to the University of Virginia grounds in the early morning. Before the bustle of students begins, the light around the Lawn and the Rotunda is a soft, golden hue. It was the perfect, peaceful setting for Emily’s UVA 4th year photo session. A Golden Morning on the Lawn Emily met […]

A Match Built on Balance They say opposites attract, but for Sarah and Nicholas, it’s more like they perfectly calibrate one another. Sarah, a nurturing extrovert, stands at a striking 5’10”. Nicholas, who describes himself as ambitious and independent, clocks in at 5’2”. While their heights might be different, their vision for a life together […]

in Cape Charles, Virginia Courtney & Camden’s Engagement Session in Cape Charles, Virginia is stunning considering the weather leading up to it. I chatted with them about what they envisioned for their session and they initially told me they wanted the mountains. But as the conversation continued, the beach is what they continued referencing.

At Blackrock Summit & Downtown Crozet, Va Kaila is the daughter of a previous co-worker of mine, who I absolutely loved working with. I heard about Kaila from her dad, Keith for years. He is the typical proud dad, who is always happy to talk about his kids! He also is one of the most […]

A Virginia Wedding at The Hotel Roanoke Fallon & William married last weekend at the iconic Hotel Roanoke! This wedding venue is absolutely stunning! The morning started off with rain but by the afternoon it was clearing off and promising a beautiful evening! Initially Fallon told me that they did not want a first look. […]

Three years ago we brought home this special girl! I named her Kasey and she and Hank are my joy every day! I like celebrating birthdays and Hank is the only dog I’ve ever had that I know an actual birthday for. Since I don’t know Kasey’s, I celebrate her Gotcha Day as if it […]
