Rigby’s Shine Session- Northern Virginia Pet Photographer

January 6, 2014

I was so honored to be chosen to photograph Rigby during his final stages of Lymphoma.  He fought a good fight, but sadly he succumbed to the disease just days after our shoot.  It was so important to his family to capture him with them before he passed.  Rigby was very energetic on the day […]

Northern Virginia Pet Photographer- Unleashed

July 15, 2013

My whole life, I’ve wanted to work with animals.  When I was little, I would check out books on horses and dogs from the library, learning about them, dreaming about having my own one day.  All grown up, my major in college was Biology, with an emphasis on Zoology.   So when I picked up […]

Fredericksburg Event Photography; {Baptism}

The church was brilliant.  Unimaginable gorgeousness.  Hank and I were honored to have been asked to photograph this once in a lifetime event.   It was a dual baptism, a very large, tremendously close family, honoring their commitment to God and their church.   The ceremony was conducted completely in Spanish….the most beautiful language.   […]

The first time I walked into Interior Designer Kate Koch’s studio, I felt like I was walking into the latest edition of Southern Living magazine.  This girl gets it!  Kate’s Simply Beautiful Spaces displays an eclectic collection of furniture, art and home accents.  From nautical themed (my faves) to asian inspired, her storefront offers something […]

Yup.. Custom.  What does that mean?  It means that you get what you want.  Sometimes I have clients that tell me to just do what I do..and I’m happy to do that!  But, I often have clients that want portraits and headshots that don’t look posed, that are in a specific location, that requires something […]

Hank and I love doing destination shoots…even if it’s only an hour and a half away!  This shoot brought us to the mountains of Virginia.   Family gathered, kids played, food was served, and pictures were taken!   It was a fantastic day for a shoot, and the scenery was breathtaking.  These are a few […]

Product Photography {Connected}

July 3, 2012

Probably the smartest thing I have done for my business is connecting with other business owners.  Not just any business owner, but talented, professional, honest business owners, who carry that reputation with them in our community and throughout social networking sites.  Developing relationships with my clients is a trait that I covet as being “known” […]

Food Photographer, Stafford, VA {Pancho Villa Menu Shoot}

June 22, 2012

It was around 9 am one morning in Feb. when I had just dropped my 2nd grader off at school, and I get a phone call.  Hands-free, blue tooth engaged, I answered.  It was  the voice of a man, asking if I take pictures of food.  “Yes, I can do that,” I replied, a little […]

At the Battlefield

May 22, 2012

When this Dad called me to take his family pictures, I was beyond thrilled.   Hank and his brother were Naval Academy roommates, and we are so fond of their entire family.  When we met for their portrait session, I felt like we were having a reunion with long time friends.   That’s just how […]
