Last month, I met Ceci and Joe at the beautiful Meadowlark Botanical Gardens for their engagement session. I had the BEST time with them- it truly felt more like I was hanging out with friends than “working.” Safe to say I am super excited for their wedding next year at one of my all-time favorite […]

Last year, I had the unique opportunity to photograph a beautiful styled shoot at Boydville, the Inn at Martinsburg.  Every once in a while, it is fun to step back from weddings and portraits for a day, and just be creative.  This styled shoot was exactly that; an opportunity to be creative, be inspired, and […]

Earlier this month, I met up with Megan and Chris in Warrenton for their engagement session.  If their engagement session is indicative of their wedding day, I know it’s going to be a sweet celebration.  These two were a dream to work with and didn’t mind walking throughout old town to so we could capture […]
