Speaking | Creative at Heart

  • Round 7 | Raleigh, North Carolina | Merrimom Wynne House

This past month has kind of been a blur in a lot of ways. We left for Scotland three days after Evy got her harness (that we can’t take off!). When we came back to the states and had a week of family vacation with our family friends at the lake. I spoke at The School of Styling that week and then we left and drove down to Raleigh, NC so that we could be a part of the Creative at Heart Conference!!! This was round 7 and we feel SO incredibly honored to have been a part of EACH ONE! I know that I shouldn’t pick favorites…. but I know that I’m not alone when I say that this one was probably the BEST one YET!!! It was awesome in EVERY WAY possible!

Ben + Kitt

  • A Tuckahoe Women's Club Wedding | Richmond, Virginia

I walked into the historic home located next to the church where the girls were getting ready and I could hear the buzz of the bridesmaids. They were in their matching robes with their hair and makeup done to perfection. I hugged Kitt and was so excited to see her! Moments after I was introduced to all TEN of her sweet bridesmaids and I just knew that it was going to be a good day!! I already felt so loved and welcomed… and then Kitt handed me a bag of goodies for Michael and I to enjoy throughout the day! Snacks, the cutest teal water tumbler from Starbucks and a VT bow for Evy!!! How sweet!!! We work with the world’s BEST brides… I’m convinced!!

Traveling with a Baby!

Part of me wonders if this post should be the start of it’s own series. Does it REALLY belong in the “Ask Anything” series that I’ve been adding to for the last 8 years? It’s not really about PHOTOGRAPHY…. it’s about how we’re managing a baby and still doing what we used to do…. TRAVEL! Well, we’ve had so many requests from photographers asking about how we’re doing it with Evy, because they have destination weddings coming up and they aren’t sure if they should take their baby! So here’s what we’ve learned!
