As a Virginia Beach family photographer, I’m constantly inspired by families who nail their photo session styling. This gorgeous family’s coordinated look is absolutely perfect for summer family photos, and I had to share why their outfit choices worked so beautifully. The Perfect Summer Color Palette This family chose a stunning combination of whites and […]
There’s something magical about returning to a place where your love story began.

What started as a couple in love has now blossomed into a […]

A Family Portrait List is important! One of the biggest things I get complimented on during weddings is how quickly and efficiently I do family portrait time. This is because I always get a FAMILY PORTRAIT LIST prior to the wedding day! As a result, the family portrait time is quick and painless! “Emily conquered […]
Mimosa Barn Wedding in Cape Charles, VA Lillie + Scott I knew from the moment I met Scott and Lillie, at Panera Bread, that I wanted to work with them! They are happy (and FUNNY), down-to-earth and love each other so much. They also have a strong relationship with God and that resonated with me […]
During General Conference on April of 2018, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints announced that a temple would be built in Richmond, Virginia. I blogged about it HERE.

Philadelphia Temple Bridal Session Daniela and José Miguel did a first look and bridal session at the Philadelphia Temple the week before their wedding.

The LDS Philadelphia Temple shines bright in the City of Brotherly Love! I had the pleasure of photographing Simmandi and Kyle’s temple sealing on a VERY hot July day! The temps reached the mid 90s and their friends and family stuck it out for the happy couple!
I know this is old news, but I am just getting around to talking about it because I didn’t know how to process it! It was announced in February of 2017 that the Washington DC Temple would be closing for 2 years for extensive renovations. I was shocked. I was sad.
The Washington DC LDS Temple closed for renovations on March 3, 2018. Since it was the last time it would be open for two years, it was a very busy day on temple grounds. I had the opportunity to photograph TWO weddings that day! I have never seen the parking lot as full as it was that day! It was a blustery cold day, but Steven and Janette brought their A game!
Engagement sessions are my absolute favorite! I have such a blast getting to know my couples during this time. It’s a chance to get comfortable with each other and gives us the opportunity to talk about the wedding day.
