They didn’t let a small storm get in the way of celebrating one of the most important days in their lives. Maria remained calm and composed throughout the entire day, even though the outdoor ceremony she had planned for […]

I absolutely LOVE shooting at the Old City Cemetery this time of the year when everything around is blooming and the nature is in its full glory with colorful flowers everywhere. Needless to say, my engagement session with this sweet […]

Located in Central Virginia, it offers a wide variety of backdrops for photos, and the inside of the estate is just as dreamy: lots of natural light coming in, and the bridal suite is one of the most beautiful getting ready rooms I’ve ever seen. This past weekend […]

The brownie baked inside an eggshell is a fun little tradition we started in our family about 2 years ago. This fun alternative to the traditional Easter eggs is always a big hit, especially when you share it with people that have never heard of something like this before.

Easy Instagram hack for photographers! When I first heard about Instagram, I thought to myself: Oh boy, another social media platform to keep up with!

I started my business after getting my first DSLR camera as a wedding gift — I knew next to nothing about photography, but I loved it.
In the beginning, I was afraid to tell anyone that I was starting a photography business. I thought they wouldn’t take me seriously, and might even make fun of me.
The thing is: now I talk to photographers all the time who are dealing with the same insecurities I had when I was just starting out — Turns out, ain’t nobody got time to be afraid of their dreams!
That’s why I teach the same systems and formulas that made me into the confident photographer I am today to photographers just like you.
