Jordan & Chad are one of the cutest couples I know, throw in their little Yorkie, Cooper, and the adorable levels are off the charts! They are each other’s best friends and have been married for 4 years. I met them when they moved into our court a few years ago and Justin and I have loved […]

I grew up riding with Stacey and I can’t believe it has taken us this long to get her in front of the lens! I am so glad we finally made it happen and we couldn’t have had better weather for her fall session with “Champagne”. I headed out to East Coast Equestrian Training Center […]

Allison is a senior at Grassfield High School in Chesapeake and my third senior this year (seniors are so much fun!). I want to give a big shout out to Haley and her mom for sending her my way! Y’all are awesome! Allison wanted to have a variety for her pictures so we did one […]

With all of this lovely rain we have gotten lately I figured this would be a great time to share my homemade rain rot ointment recipe. My mare used to always get rain rot like clockwork! I hated it and no product I bought would ever really get rid of it. My awesome vet gave me […]

Sydney survived lightening and heavy rain, grasshoppers, spiders and to top it all of…a dead mouse. It was an adventurous senior session to say the least. The first day we had planned for the session we got stormed on after only about 15 minutes of shooting time! Not only did it rain…there was thunder and lightening! We […]

Not only are Kevin and Lauren past clients, but more importantly they are friends and a wonderful couple. I did a family session for them last July at First Landing State Park (I can’t believe how big Will and Sophia have gotten since then!) and it’s that time of year again for family pictures. They […]

Military homecomings are one of my favorite things ever! Just being there you can feel the many emotions of those waiting for their loved ones to return, from excitement and anxiety to joy and love. It is a one of a kind experience. I may be speaking for myself when I say this, but the […]

When my sister in law told me their plans to come visit from Indiana we were both on the same page when it came to family pictures. It was a must-do while they were here! We had so much fun during their 5 day stay (which is never long enough) and we were sad to […]

Returning to the blog are the Coulards! I know you recognize them by now! I have done several sessions for them including Nichole’s first maternity session back in 2013, Kennedy’s newborn session, a family session before Todd’s most recent deployment, a homecoming session when Todd came back from deployment, a gender reveal announcing the sex of […]

You probably saw Haley’s first senior portrait session on the blog last week. If you missed it, check it out here. I was so happy with how her first session turned out and couldn’t wait to hit the beach for the second session! We had a great time and perfect weather. At the end of […]

I can’t believe Haley is already going to be a senior at Grassfield High School this fall! I have known her family for a long time and when her mother asked me to do her senior pictures I was ecstatic! Ever since Haley was a baby, her mom has always wanted a picture of her […]

Getting portraits taken with Shrek was always something Addie wanted to have done, but it was one of those things that wasn’t on the top of the to-do list…until recently, after losing a barn-mate very unexpectedly. Suddenly, after experiencing the loss of a person or animal close to you, life seems so short and you […]
