Megan and Randy

I met Megan and Randy through a Facebook referral - and I'm so glad that I did. They are a great couple and were a blast to photograph. It is music to a photographer's ears when a client says "If it will look good for the picture, we'll do it!". Even more exciting for me is that they wanted black and white photographs, and I LOVE black and white! (I felt like a little kid in a candy store :) )

In addition to this being a maternity session for their first child, the day of the shoot was also their 2 year wedding anniversary! Congratulations! These photographs were taken in their beautiful backyard. It was a gorgeous VA fall day - the weather could not have been more perfect. It was definitely worth it to wait and reschedule due to the nasty weather the day before!

You both will be awesome parents and I look forward to photographing your new family in the future!

(I had to leave one color because it was just so pretty!)

Theresa B

This past week I photographed Theresa. After a session with her entire family last November, I asked her to model for me. 9 months later, our schedules (and the weather) finally cooperated. She has a fun, laid-back personality and is a blast to be around. I'll be photographing her whole family again in September at the beach - can't wait!

Heather and Meagan

During a trip to FL in June, I had the privilege of photographing one of my best friends and her sister. They were both pregnant, and due within ten days of each other! Perfect photo opportunity! Within the past week and a half, they both had their babies. Welcome to the world Caleb Michael and Isabella Renee! Can't wait til I get to photograph you together again :) Here they are when they were still 'in the oven'.

Jazz Concert

This past weekend I photographed a jazz concert at the Kaufman Theater, located inside Chrysler Museum of Art. One of our neighbors, Ty Marquis-Smith, is a jazz musician and he asked me to photograph the live recording of his upcoming album. It was a win-win-win situation since I was able to photograph, listen to some good music, AND I was able to set up a table display with my business information. Here are a few images from the event.

Josh and Kimberly

Here's another session from my trip to FL over the Christmas holiday. Josh and Kimberly were recently engaged and that's always fun to photograph! The weather was gorgeous and I had a wonderful time spending the afternoon with Kimberly, Josh and her family. Great friends, beautiful weather, and fun photography...who could ask for anything more! :)

Can't wait for the wedding next year!

Mike, Heather, and Gabe

I photographed one of my best friends and her family back in October. I wanted to photograph a child playing in a pumpkin patch, and I knew her son would be perfect! Here are a few images from the session. He is such a ham! He is definitely fun to photograph :)

David & Kristy Engagement - Sneak Peek!

While in Florida over the holidays, I had the privilege of photographing one of my good friends who I grew up going to dance classes with. She recently got engaged and I was so excited to be able to photograph her with her new fiance. I haven't finished editing all of the images yet, but I wanted to give a sneak peek of 3 photographs from the session.

You are a wonderful couple and I wish you a lifetime of happiness! I can't wait to show you the rest...they are fantastic! :)

Douglas Family

Thanks to Facebook, I recently got back in contact with one of my best friends from photography school. It turns out that he and his family only live a few hours away! In November, he surprised his wife with a birthday getaway to Williamsburg and part of her gift was a photo session with me. It was a great opportunity for us to see each other after all these years and for me to meet his beautiful wife!

Since we weren't able to spend a lot of time catching up during their November trip, they came back with their son a couple weeks later to stay with Pete and I. We had a great weekend getting to know each other's spouses and reminiscing about our time in college. We also took some time one afternoon to photograph each other...neither of us have many pictures of ourselves because we're always on the other side of the camera! It was freezing outside that day, so unfortunately we weren't able to shoot for long. The first picture is one that I was able to get before we retreated to the house to warm up with some hot chocolate and coffee!

Pete and I had a great time with you guys and can't wait to see you again soon! :)
