Wow! We could not have had a better night for a glowy, gorgeous family session! I pinched myself more than once as I photographed this beloved crew. It’s been a few years, and while I’m not surprised at how stunning these ladies have become, it did feel like such a treat to have them in […]

It’s bittersweet to be posting my final high school senior of the year! I absolutely loved working with Vaughn. He has a steady and calm character, and handled the spotlight of being photographed solo like it was no big deal. That’s not easy! We covered a lot of ground, starting in the vibrant Haymarket, then […]

I’m so pleased to welcome Connor to the blog today! While we were photographing his session, something about his poise and steady personality told me these portraits were going to be standouts, and I was not disappointed.

Carter is a senior! Somehow, it’s true – this kid I first photographed almost ten years ago is confident, accomplished, so very kind AND almost done with high school. It was so fun to celebrate this milestone of his! Carter has an enviable ease he seems to bring into everything he does, and he’s just […]
