Matt + Sarah

  • A Whitehall Manor Wedding | Bluemont, Virginia

When you plan a wedding for late April, you expect decently warm temperatures. That’s a natural thing to expect because May is right around the corner! So when we arrived to Whitehall Manor and the temperature read “52”…. I wasn’t prepared. I had a cardigan and that was it! Thankfully, after I started shooting and the adrenaline started pumping, I was totally fine! I realized after we started the day that this weather surprise happened to the most perfect couple because Matt and Sarah, unlike me, were prepared for anything. They had such a deeply rooted understanding that their wedding day was about their love and celebrating their new marriage with their dear friends and family…. no matter what the temperature was!!

Trevor + Kari | Married

  • Farm Inspired Anniversary Photos | Rome, Georgia

I met her at a coaching session. Her sweet smile and kind demeanor made me fall in love with her instantly! Kari had JUST gotten engaged before heading to Virginia for her coaching day and to say she was excited would be an understatement!! She talked about how amazing Trevor was and how thankful she was to have found the love of her life and I secretly hoped I could meet him one day. Well, my wish can true and we had the opportunity to spend a solid 4 days together in Rome, Georgia during the Connect Retreat!

Meet Sarah

  • A Spring Time Senior Shoot

Spring is HERE! And so is the pollen! We have a nice layer of “green” on everything around here! Thankfully, we took Sarah’s senior portraits last week before the rush of pollen swept through the area. We took her portraits on the most perfect afternoon in Maymont. We walked around together and just when we thought we were about done, we found the TULIPS! They are gorgeous!! Sarah looked so beautiful and grown up! Seriously, where have the last 4 years gone? We’ve been in Richmond for over 4 and a half years and so that means we met Sarah right as she was finishing up her years in middle school!
