Forest Hill Park I absolutely ADORE Forest Hill Park. In fact, when my husband, Jonathan, and I had our own maternity pictures taken, I couldn’t think of a more idyllic spot! Located just south of the James River, Forest Hill Park pretty much has a little bit of everything for everyone. With it’s wide open fields,...
Carli & Rafy’s Wedding Day When I first met Carli and Rafy, Carli made one thing very clear: their wedding day was to be one of true authenticity. No “recreating” special moments, no “candid but posed” shots, just true, organic, unaltered moments capturing the first day of the rest of their lives. And I’d never...
York River State Park I am ALWAYS up for exploring new photography locations. So when Nina told me she wanted to venture to York River State Park, a place neither of us had ever been, I excitedly jumped at the possibility to scout a new location! York River State Park is located in Williamsburg, Virginia....
Sarah & Erik Just a quick walk over the Belvedere Street pedestrian bridge, you’ll find yourself in Belle Isle, and in a completely different world than the downtown Richmond you left! Belle Isle may be just a 20 minute walk over the bridge but with its beautiful tree lined paths, open fields, and gorgeous river views,...
Monica & Roland This week I had the pleasure of photographing Monica and Roland in Maymont Park’s Japanese Gardens.

AND the Japanese Gardens at...

Gravelly Point is a beautiful park overlooking the Washington Monument just south of the river in Washington, DC. Gravelly Point is also a super unique place since it’s located...

We’ve decided that finding out we are pregnant just wasn’t ENOUGH of a surprise…so on...
Sometimes the most last minute sessions prove to be the most fun :). Angela contacted me a few weeks ago to inquire about my availability just a few short days later. She and her longtime boyfriend, Spencer, both originally from California, were coming to Richmond for the Marine Corps Ball at the Richmond Convention Center....
Simply put, Carli and Rafy are perfect for each other. As they told me in their own words: “From date #1 it was a whirlwind romance spent learning about each other and bonding over a shared love of humor and making people laugh.” And I can truly say their love is like a blanket that...
