2021 was full of wonderful weddings, but I also had the pleasure of documenting numerous portrait sessions throughout the year.  It is always an honor to document portrait sessions, whether they are engagement sessions, senior/graduation photos, family sessions or “just because” photos.  This year, my sessions took me from the Shenandoah Mountains, to Blacksburg and […]
