Photo Tips & Events

We were so excited to be a part of the Brookdale opening!  While I spend the majority of my time photographing weddings, families and seniors, I love serving at events and doing corporate event photography as well.  The team at Brookdale did an AMAZING job preparing for the event, and the facility was absolutely breathtaking.

Christmas Minis

Families & Seniors

Christmas minis are so much fun!  When I first started my photography business a few years ago, mini sessions are how I started to learn and grow (along with even giving out free sessions to friends).  My friend Kristin (totally a tangent, but she’s AMAZING and so supportive as I grow) has a big backyard […]

Headed on vacay to Williamsburg?

Families & Seniors

I looooove being a part of such a special time when families get together for vacation. This session in Colonial Williamsburg was no exception!  CW gardens are such a great place to take pictures while you’re on vacation, especially if you have kids. Many of the gardens are tucked away from the main streets, so […]

Vacay!

Personal

I’m taking a few weeks off from photo sessions and kicked it off with a mini-family vacay.  We decided to try a long car trip with Noah and head over to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.  I usually focus all my photography on people, but it was fun to try a few waterfall images with […]

Families & Seniors

Confession time!  The CNU (Christopher Newport University) Campus is less than 30 minutes from my home in Williamsburg, VA, and this was my FIRST TIME walking and exploring.   As much as I love William and Mary (it is my alma mater, after all!), it was so fun to explore somewhere new.  Lauren’s senior portraits at […]

Newborn Lifestyle Photographer

Families & Seniors

Are you looking for a newborn lifestyle photographer?  I would love to connect!  When I became pregnant with my first son, I swooned over all the gorgeous posed newborn shots – from babies hanging in cool hammocks to photoshopped images, they looked so cool.  I have such a respect for photographers who take these images […]
