Hi there! i’m katelyn.

Hello, and welcome to the KJ Blog! I'm Katelyn James, and my husband Michael and I are a wedding photography team based in Richmond, Virginia. We hope you grab some coffee (or a diet coke, in my case) and enjoy viewing our latest work, browsing resources for photographers, and getting a little peek into our life!  Read more...

Everly’s Fourth Month

This fourth month has really made us realize how much this little girl is changing. The way she looks, the way she interacts, the way she laughs…. it has all changed! I think this is my favorite stage yet! She’s officially moved away from the “fragile” newborn stage. She has been holding her head up since month two, but now she’s less wobbly!! I love seeing her sit straight up, and I’m so thankful that developmentally, she’s thriving! This past month has made me so thankful for her JOY! She smiles at EVERYONE. Her smiles, her giggles and her little personality that are shining through just melt everyone’s hearts.

The Workshop Experience

  • June 2017 | Behind the Scenes

It’s hard to believe that we just wrapped up our second Two-Day in-person workshop in our new home. It just seems so surreal every time we welcome a new group of photographers, because this was our ultimate goal! We wanted to have land and live in the country, so that we could host workshops and friends and family, and never have to worry about parking, picky neighbors or where to do the styled shoot! This past Monday and Tuesday we hosted photographers from all across the country, and it was so wonderful!

Ryan + Britney

  • A Berkeley Plantation Wedding

We always said that whoever won over Britney’s heart was going to have to be one special man. We honestly couldn’t envision what he would be like. We had MANY talks about this in college. Would he love the same things Britney loved? Would he fit into their awesome family seamlessly? Was she going to meet him when she moved to NYC? What’s he going to look like?! I think we were all so interested in who Britney’s future husband was going to be because we knew that it would take a lot to win over her heart.
