this is a post for all the moms out there. to get right to the point….it’s time to take pictures of you. for your children. for your children’s children. so often it’s easy to forget about you. the amazing women who literally birthed all those beautiful children this world. the entire reason we have these huge […]

just love this moment between two sisters. and of course the gorgeous flowers by crimson & clover. from jen + jamie’s beautiful gramercy wedding.

a few moments to take it all in. i am in love with this black and white image of liliana getting ready….timeless and dreamy…perfectly classic. taken at my recent destination wedding at casa conde de pestagua in cartagena, colombia. one of the most beautiful places i’ve ever seen.  

recently, susan + canon’s northern neck wedding was featured on one of my favorite wedding blogs- bayside bride. not only is the blog filled with beautiful, nautical inspired weddings in the Chesapeake area, but they also provide many DIY projects for brides to try out as well! the perfect little blog to take a look at […]

my friends + family sure know how to make a girl feel special! thanks everyone for the sweet birthday wishes. my 30th birthday was incredible! starting with a fun dinner with the husband, a cheese-inspired surprise party at my own house (ha. they know me so well), and spending my actual birthday in the best […]

well, i have been pretty silent on the blog the past two weeks, but lots has been going on around here! 1. the top level of my home has looked like it’s under custruction. i decided to redo my office (at not the wisest time to be fair) and it has consumed our household. (ie […]

i was very excited earlier in the year to see erin + nevin’s destination wilmington, nc wedding featured on jet fete’s blog! not only do i love this blog for all the beautiful wedding inspiration, but everytime i read it makes me want to travel to far away lands with my camera…. check out jet […]

have you ever played the “what if” game? the one where you ask yourself what you would have been in another life? if i hadn’t become a wedding photographer, i think i would have always run my own business in another life. sometimes i still think that it would be fun to run another type […]

we headed down for a destination wedding at lowndes grove plantation in charleston, sc to celebrate mark + loriana. this was a wedding where i was a guest, not the photographer… and i can’t tell you how fun it was to take a break from being behind the camera. it was a big family reunion and […]

so there is this other passion of mine. outside of photography. outside of health and fitness. outside of many things…. travel. anyone who knows me knows i love to travel. it could be a little abandoned town in georgia, a bustling city in new york, or an exotic beach in another country. no matter how […]
