location list

the location list Firstly, I want to say, that my location list doesn't mean we have to go there. It simply means I've been there or want to do sessions there and I know what to expect, lay of the land, I have the options and variations already laid out in my head. My portfolio can only reflect work from the places I've done work at.If you have a place near and dear to you or somewhere you'd just simply like to be for your session - I can't wait to make your session even more ...

Lets take a leap

I love the idea that life is one giant leap of faith. Whatever faith means to you... it is literally holding your breath, hoping it all turns out, and learning to cope with the anxiety that may give you along the way. And of course, the human species is a creature of habit, so jumping in to anything new - is just cause for alarm for all of our red flag sensors, instincts, and intuitions. But we know, challenging that fight or flight system is where the magic lies, where ...

the idea of age, wisdom, youth, and all we really need is love.

You may be expecting the exclusive story of Nerissa and Kevin's love.But that is a story for them to tell. These are some of the realizations I've had while also watching Nerissa blossom and transition into who she really is meant to be. And loving every moment of the process for her. As I have become the mom of a now school aged kid this past year, I've been thinking a lot about age lately. Getting older. Who I was then versus who I am now. I've ...

Coffee Shop Photo Sessions Sign Up.

You know when there is an idea that is just nagging at you consistently throughout a grand phase of you life and you just have to make it happen one day? I am a big believer in not pushing, forcing, or punching things into place. It'll happen when its supposed to happen. When the all the right paths cross as long as you keep working towards it, and keep your energy in line with your request - (caveat, you're always allowed to change your mind). I have ...

A Sweet Couples In Home Session

I have a confession... I absolutely love all of my sessions: (Individual Portraits, Family Sessions, Spicy Couples).But the Sweet Couple In-Home Session has a very special place in my heart. And the catch is... I'm not even a romantic - not really anyway. But aside from the main focus of being a photographer which is to capture moments now to help memories later - a session like this can strengthen a bond and capture a connection that you have right now in this ...

Pierce Family Travel Session

Sunsets are not on island time... This was an amazing opportunity for my first travel session and I could not have asked for a better family to travel with while working. These little lovelies were so sweet and adored being in front of the camera. Their parents are so upbeat and pumped to capture these moments. Individually they all showed their personalities and as a family they all meld together perfectly. The energy was high, the ...

A Styling Guide for All

... But What Will I Wear?... - The Grinch The Grinch had troubles finding something suitable to wear to the Whoville Feast and so it is fair that the rest of us have similar troubles too.It may be one of the most taxing parts of the photo session for the client. What do I wear? How do we make it look coordinated and effortless? How can I be sure it'll all look good in front of the camera?Aside from making sure you arrive to the session all in one piece and on time, or maybe you ...

A Maternity Session - Just In time.

The rain, and this baby, waited for us to take these photos. We had everything planned out: The Hair and Makeup (Beauty By Brigid), the dress, coordinating outfits, the location (MSV or Museum of the Shenandoah Valley in Winchester), the time - SUNSET. The forecast looked perfect... all. week. long. And then, Friday evening we went from blue skies into Monday to thunderstorms all weekend, all day, both Saturday and Sunday. I'm ...

Family Session Success

This Family Knew What They Were Doing In all fairness, this was a Model Call. I needed to play around in a location and feel the sunset on my camera before heading straight into a paid session blindly. Truth be told, I haven't shot during the famous golden hour much... ever. And it feels different every evening, so nerves were high on my end. But practice makes progress and I'm so glad I practiced here with them. There are some people you meet who you ...

Mission Complete: Spring '22 Model Calls

Holy Guacamole, Friends, we did it. After almost five months of out reach, scheduling, planning, executing, processing, revealing, and delivering photos - we have successfully wrapped up the Spring 2022 Model Call Marathon. And WOW did it turn out beautifully. I personally continued to grow behind my camera. And I met some amazing new people who mostly happened to be my neighbors. And my brand new forever clients all received some amazing updated family ...
