The Cascades in Pembroke is the prettiest and most enjoyable hike I’ve done in Virginia. If you haven’t been to the Cascades, put it on your list and GO asap! The lower trail never goes more than 30 yards from Little Stony Creek before finally reaching the amazing 66-ft high falls. It’s a pretty easy …
Alexis’ friend gifted this family session to her when her 4th girl was born. The baby is now 11 months and just starting to stand on her own, so it was the perfect time to schedule the session! They were so much fun, up for all of my crazy prompts, and I loved seeing how …
In a little over a month this gorgeous mom will be welcoming another baby girl into the world! I was so excited when I talked to Kelly and she told me she wanted maternity photos with her 2-year-old. I arrived early at the location and walked around to check the areas for the best lighting, …

After 3 days of straight rain in late February, we finally saw the sun and 50 degrees. I met the sweetest mama and her 2 girls right before sunset for their photos and after a short (and muddy) walk we found just the right spot! Emme grew up taking ice skating classes at the Mt. …
Today is the first of my Friday Focus blog posts, where I’ll be sharing recent sessions, travel photos, hopefully a few trips to JMU, and the occasional wrap-up of what has happened during the week. These photos of Makayla were taken at my favorite spot that feels like we are in the country, and where …
If you would like to see a magnificent sunrise, head down to Roanoke, VA and visit the Roanoke Mountain Overlook. I promise, you will not be disappointed!
