I'm a published wedding and portrait photographer located in a small town outside of Charlottesville. In addition to capturing beautiful images, I love spending time with my family, am freakishly good at word games (Hey Wheelmobile!), love an ice cold can of Coke or Dr. Pepper, know every line to Hocus Pocus and can never pass up a Chick-fil-A waffle fry or a trip to HomeGoods.

Tacorra + Dwayne | Arbor Haven Wedding

I first spoke with Tacorra less than a month before her September Arbor Haven wedding. Her photographer had fallen through and that person’s loss was absolutely my gain. Tacorra and Dwayne’s wedding was beautiful and featured my favorite color–mint. Plus, I always love an Arbor Haven wedding day. The owner, Keri, is fantastic. She really […]

Morgan + CJ | Frontier Culture Museum Wedding

When I think of Morgan and CJ’s Frontier Culture Museum wedding, I think of fun! I also then get Nelly stuck in my head, but that’ll make sense in a minute. Morgan and CJ met at work and knew each other in passing for about a year before one hike changed everything. They hit it […]

Winter Wedding Inspiration | Wintergreen Resort

Winter is for…weddings? I think when people think of ideal months or seasons for weddings, they automatically go for spring, summer or fall, but winter weddings can be absolutely stunning. Imagine a bride in her dress in the snow with a faux fur shawl and beautiful flowers that add just a tiny pop of color. […]

Year in Review: 2021

Despite COVID still being a thing (seriously, go away already!), 2021 was a year filled with big moments, beautiful weddings, fantastic portrait sessions, a few styled shoots and so much fun. First, this is the year I welcomed my second daughter, Hensley Bernice. This girl came right on her due date, which happened to also […]

Ruth + Zach | Chesterfield Wedding

I first met Ruth and Zach last fall at Maymont. We spent a warm afternoon exploring the grounds and capturing their engagement photos. They were so much fun together, plus Ruth and I share a love for Coca-Cola (definitely my biggest vice I know, but I’m not a coffee girl. Instead, I prefer an ice […]

Emily + Jake | Lake Anna Wedding

One of the first things Emily said to me about Jake was that he made her laugh like no one else could and that was evident from the day we first met in person at their engagement session to the day of their Lake Anna wedding. Like so many of my couples and couples in […]

Built in 1825, it’s currently part of the Cultural Arts Center of Glen Allen and features the large home as well as a number of outbuildings and a gazebo that is perfect […]

Layne + Saul | Arbor Haven Wedding

I love when the dance floor stays busy and Layne and Saul’s Arbor Haven wedding was no exception. These two, their friends and their families can dance. Layne and Saul are high school sweethearts. Saul’s best man highlighted their long relationship in his speech, noting how Saul first said he liked Layne back before they […]
