It was so lovely outside, that before we met with Amanda and Ben for their session, Timothy and I decided to enjoy the fresh air and go for a walk. Randolph College makes […]

Copyright vs Printing Right – Let’s talk about it! “Do I get the copyrights to my wedding pictures?” This is a question that some clients like to ask. The term copyright is often misunderstood. I have realized that when most couples ask if they will receive the copyrights to their wedding images, they actually mean printing rights. As […]

Meeting Addison and Chad for the first time was like meeting some good old friends. We connected instantly! We started talking… and we talked… and talked… it almost seemed like we’ve known one another for years. I am so happy they chose us to capture their beautiful wedding in May, and I could’t be happier to […]

I can’t believe it’s February already! Where did the time go?! If you’ve been following the blog, you might remember that at the beginning of this year I decided to embark on a new project, the 365 project. This is a photography project where you take a picture a day for 365 days, and it […]

I went full time into the wedding photography business last year and it’s been such a great encouragement to see some of my sessions published online as well as in print. I’ll have to admit that nothing […]

I absolutely loved this Sorella Farms engagement! The first time I met Sallie I knew she was the type of bride I would LOVE to work with, even more so when I found out the venue she had chosen for her wedding. Sorella Farms is just one of those wedding venues in Central Virginia that […]

Last year was an amazing year. It was a hard year. It was a rewarding year. It was one of those years that will be etched in my heart forever. So many things happened that it would take more than a blog post to cover them all. On top of going full-time into the photography […]

When Lindsay contacted me about shooting her and Thomas’ engagement session in DC, I could hardly contain my excitement. Timothy and I decided to make a trip out of it and drove to Washington DC the day before. I was so excited to meet my sweet bride and her fiancé until I got an allergy […]

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.
