I photographed Ann + Ryan’s wedding reception at Bobby Mckeys so when they reached out about photographing their growing family, I was beyond thrilled.

I love following my couples as they continue to grow and celebrate more milestones throughout the year. These are a few favorites of Lee with his two (and now they have 3!) children, and I just love these black and whites taken in the comfort of their home. How tiny those toes are!

Corrine + Blair. What can I possibly say about these two? I lived with them in college. They know things and have too many stories from those years. Just thinking about them and our time at VCU puts a smile on my face. It had been years since I’d seen them. Work moved them across […]
