Happiest Baby Award

And the award goes too…. Emerson! This sweet little girl was so happy she was a photographers’ dream. :)

Wedding at the Signature at West Neck

Ashley and John had a beach ceremony and then celebrated at the Signature at West Neck. They incorporated a lot of pink into their wedding including flowers, dresses, fans and parasols. Even the outdoor flowers were blooming pink! All in all it was a perfect day and evening.

Summertime Engagement Session

There is no better place to shoot a summer time engagement session then at the beach. Ashley and Mack are so playful together. I can’t wait for their wedding at the Cavalier Beach Club next June.

All Dressed Up in White

Lori and Brandon have now officially tied the knot. But before they did I had a beautiful bridal session with Lori. Check out her bridal photographs as well as some of my favorites from their big day.

Summer Family Portraits

The summer is a busy time for family portraits wether at the beach or park. Everyone is together and feeling that healthy glow from being outdoors. Here are a few out takes from some recent portrait sessions.

okay not a family shot – but I photographed this dragon fly during a family session. :)

Black, White and Color

Katie and Neil’s wedding was beautiful in black & white and color. When I am editing a wedding I go through each photo and decide how it should be processed. I love black and white photographs as I originally learned photography in a dark room developing just that. But with digital you have the choice and most of the time with weddings – the colors are just too vibrant to ignore! That being said I always make a selection of black & white photographs. I really love some of the ones from Katie and Neil’s wedding below. There is something so timeless about a monochrome image.



A Royal Wedding

Catherine and Bryan’s wedding was fit for a King and Queen. Held in Huber Court at the Chrysler Museum the bride and groom actually sat on thrones during their reception! Other royal elements included the vibrant purples used in the dresses and flowers. Michelle & Kim from Weddings by Michelle and Blue Steel lighting really made it all come together. But even with all the grand elements this wedding was no stuffy affair! Catherine, Bryan and their court partied the night away!

Featured Wedding in The Knot

It’s always so exciting to see my work published in a magazine! This time in The Knot Magazine for Andrea and Mark’s beach wedding.


It’s another hot one

Is it just me or does it seem to be exceptionally hot this spring-early summer? Melissa and Rob’s day at Fort Story was no exception. Still the ceremony overlooking the water was beautiful and by half way through we were saved by some clouds that rolled in to give us some shade. Of course these clouds later opened up and poured rain, but by that time the ceremony and photographs were finished and everyone was safe inside The Boot in downtown Norfolk. Well almost everyone – Melissa and Rob did have to run from the car with an umbrella, but it made for a cute photo!

It’s all in the Details

Jill and Dave were married at their neighbor’s home in Chicks Beach. The grounds were a perfect place to hold their stylish affair. Jill is a fashion designer and had so many fantastic ideas. Luckily she had a team full of creative friends to help her vision come to life!  Tyler Adams created all of the paper design and Jesse Curtis created the ring pillow and flower girl dress. I enjoyed photographing the bride and groom and all of their great details!
