SIERRA VISTA STYLED SESSION Looking through some of my older sessions, I realized that I never actually shared this gorgeous fall styled shoot at Sierra Vista in Bedford, Virginia on the blog before. I had the privilege of participating in this amazing styled photo session as part of my friend’s (Megan of Megan Vaughan Photography) workshop […]

We ended this year’s engagement season with Stephanie and Josh’s Sorella Farms engagement pictures. Sorella Farms impressed us once again with its beautiful landscape and gorgeous light. These sunset Sorella Farms engagement photos couldn’t have been any more perfect! I absolutely loved every second of it! If you haven’t heard of Sorella before, it is […]

A ROMANTIC GLENCLIFF MANOR FALL WEDDING It was such an honor to photograph Ariana and Jeff’s wedding at the beautiful Glencliff Manor Estate in Rustburg, Virginia this weekend. Although it was supposed to rain the whole day, it stopped just in time for their ceremony. What I love about Glencliff Manor is that no matter […]

We just got back from Wintergreen last night and I already finished blogging an engagement session, caught up on all the emails, scheduled consultations for this week, fully cleaned our house, and now I am just sitting here wishing this past weekend hadn’t ended. It felt so good to be away from all the distractions […]

SARAH+JOSH I had the privilege of photographing Sarah and Josh’s engagement session at the Point of Honor in Lynchburg, Virginia this past week and it was absolutely beautiful. Fall engagement photos are my favorite to take: from gorgeous light, to beautiful fall colors and two people in love, it doesn’t get any better than that. […]

LAURA+STEPHEN On Saturday, Timothy and I traveled to Charlottesville, Virginia to photograph Laura and Stephen’s engagement session at the Jefferson Vineyards. We couldn’t have asked for a better day for their engagement photos: beautiful weather, a gorgeous couple in love, and on top of everything, Jefferson Vineyards was hosting a concert that day as well. I […]

When the engagement session involves a red airplane and a private airport in Lynchburg, you bet I am all in! When Ariana talked to me about doing an airplane engagement session, I was ecstatic. Her and Jeff are both aviation students and an airplane engagement session seemed only fitting for their engagement photos. After rescheduling Ariana and Jeff’s […]

This Old City Cemetery engagement session is going to take your breath away! James and Maria were so great to work with. I am so happy that the rain held off for their engagement photos since they live over 3 hours away from Lynchburg. They drove down to the Lynchburg area when there were still […]

Lynchburg seriously has the best locations for engagement sessions! From tall grass, to mountain views, to ponds and urban architecture, Lynchburg has it all. Therefore, each of my couples’ engagement photos look completely different. For Harris and David’s engagement pictures we traveled to Harris’ parents’ private property in Lynchburg, VA. They came to Lynchburg to celebrate their engagement […]

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.
