The first few days when we finally transition from summer to fall are so beautiful. The weather is finally cool and the leaves have just started to change! I met the Peeler family at sunset on a gorgeous sunny afternoon for their family photos and also tried out a new lens that I rented, the …
I just returned from a photography retreat in Allenspark & Estes Park, CO where I spent the weekend with 10 other women from Indiana, Illinois, Nevada, Colorado, and Texas. This sunset family session in Estes Park was one of the highlights of my trip… I loved shooting in a few different spots in the changing …
I visit my mom in Roanoke, VA every couple of months or so. We like to hike to the Mill Mountain Star together and sometimes we drive around to scout new locations for photos. I love the mountain views and wide open spaces that I just can’t find in northern VA. There are so many …
I am so inspired by Old Town’s charm and architecture. Every time I’m there I see a railing, an arched doorway, garden or a mural I haven’t seen before. I noticed the windows in these photos one afternoon and knew I had to see what the light looked like inside. This session has all the …
Baby Annabelle decided to make her entrance into the world just FOUR DAYS after we did Kerry’s maternity photos! I was so excited to get the text from Kerry saying she was headed to the hospital. Annabelle is such a sweet baby and I even got to practice some posed newborn photos with her in …
Adele and I met up at George Washington’s River Farm for her summer senior session. River Farm is also the headquarters of the American Horticultural Society, and with 25 acres overlooking the Potomac River, including a 4-acre meadow, an orchard, and wildlife garden it is the perfect spot for photos. There is also a children’s …

Just a couple of months ago I did maternity photos for Kelly and her toddler V, and when her baby girl was born I couldn’t wait to meet up with the whole family for a session in their home. V kept me company and showed me some of her books and stuffed animals while I …
I love the mountains and rivers of Virginia and am used to most of my photos having a LOT of green. I’ve had a new challenge this week with doing family photos in evening beach light in the Outer Banks, NC. This session in Kitty Hawk reflects all types of changing light, from shade to …
This was the best evening on the beach with my dear friends Beth and Ron! They have been married 20 years and I wanted to do a couples shoot for them while we were at the Outer Banks together. It was SO much fun and these photos really reflect how I see them as a …
