MacKenzie just hit submit on her final exam a few days ago and I know she has to have felt such relief in that very moment!  Her drive and wiliness to push through is so admirable. Can you believe that she will be graduating with her Bachelors Degree in Business Administration and a certificate in […]

It feels like just yesterday I was sitting in Panera (pre-COVID), chatting it up with Gabby + Brian, getting to know them and their plans before we made things official. Fast forward several months later and it was engagement session time! Precious doesn’t quite cover it for these two. The love they have for each […]

This lovely bunch met up with me to explore the wonders of what Garden of the Gods had to offer us. And we barely even touched the surface of this place!  I was so happy getting to know Gracie + Tristan’s adorable family for the short amount of time we had together during their mini […]

Holly + Matt got engaged in the old town of Williamsburg with their friends and family present to witness their love, and from what they tell me, it was super sweet. We wanted a special place for their engagement session, so we chose Downtown Alexandria since it holds so much value to them! We opted […]

I have known the Garcia family for what feels like a lifetime at this point – I rode the bus with Anna + Isa in middle and high school. Some of my weekends were even spent on their family farm for special events! So to be back here again, many years later, celebrating such a […]

I got to show Gina + Brett some love two weekends in a row – first for their engagement session and then for their micro wedding! You guys, it was MAGICAL! I’m totally loving these intimate ceremonies with less than 20 people. The ceremony was short and sweet and the guests were full of love […]

These two lovely parents to-be will be welcoming their baby boy any day now with a due date of July 30th! Little Ryder Owen is going to be one loved little guy. I have no doubt his days will be spent on the water fishing with his daddy and loving and cuddling his momma! He’s […]

From the very first consultation with Gina + Brett, when they held their pup Luna up to the phone to say hi to me, I knew from that moment on we were going to be the perfect fit!  We talked all things wedding planning and continued to navigate COVID-19 with date changes, engagement session reschedules, […]

Rachel and Skylar have been two of our very best friends for quite some time now. I’ve watched their relationship blossom so much over the years, getting to celebrate with them when they got engaged, being their photographer and bridesmaid for their intimate wedding, congratulating them on their pregnancy and now getting to watch them […]

Emma + Jake met in college at Virginia Tech and fell in love as they were gearing towards their future! And now they’re getting ready to tie the knot this fall in Alexandria, so it was only fitting that we have their engagement session here! The historic cobblestone streets and just the overall vibe of […]
