welcome!
It’s SO good to be back home! We are currently on a missions trip in Romania, and for those of you who don’t know, I was born and raised here. While I lived in the city most of my life, I did not experience village life very often. Of course I had the occasional visits […]

I am completing my second month of the 365 photo project. Where has the time gone? I cannot believe that for over 50 days now, I have been taking a picture a day… and I’ve done it consistently. I gotta tell you, it has not been easy, but consistency is the key. If you are […]

I am happy to share one more snow session with you all that took place at the Trivium Estate in Forest, VA. I know, I know… we’ve had a week full of photoshoots in the snow, and we are all probably ready for summer instead of this cold weather, but I had to take advantage […]

After a full week of snow, we got even more snow on Saturday. I’ve been wanting to photograph a bride and groom at Sierra Vista in the snow for a while now, and when I saw that it started snowing on Saturday, I immediately texted Chelsey and together we planned a really quick photoshoot. I […]

I am so excited to share this session with you all! We’ve had quite a few snow days in the Lynchburg area this week and I knew that I had to take advantage of this amazing opportunity and photograph a lovely couple at Sierra Vista. Just like with our last snow session at Sierra Vista, this wasn’t […]

We don’t usually get a lot of snow around the Lynchburg – Forest area, but when we do, it’s amazing! I mean, you’ve got to get out of the house and take some pictures. When I saw that it had started snowing, I immediately called my husband and told him that I would love to […]

We did a last minute snow session at Sierra Vista last evening and I am so happy that we braved the cold weather to get some killer shots. The scenery at Sierra Vista is just out of this world… breathtaking! I have an ah-hah moment every time I go up there. I am so thankful […]

We conquered another snow day yesterday, and rocked the cold weather with Emily and Ian at Sierra Vista! It was so incredibly cold, but so incredibly worth it. Sierra Vista is the only wedding venue in Virginia, that I know of, that has such an impressive mountain view. I shot there last fall and I was dying […]

Happy (Almost) Valentine’s Day, friends! At the Thomas’ house, we celebrate Valentine’s Day all throughout the year. We don’t usually make any kind of sophisticated plans for February 14th, but we do like to celebrate the holiday in our own way. For the past 3 years, we’ve enjoyed a nice, romantic, candle light dinner at home […]

Randolph College in Lynchburg, VA was the perfect location for this February engagement session. Although the weather is pretty unpredictable here in Virginia, we seriously could not have asked for it to have been any better for Amanda and Ben’s photo session. We haven’t had this kind of gorgeous natural light since last summer, and I am […]

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.
my story might sound familiar...
