Fall Wedding at Lesner Inn in Virginia Beach, Virginia | Andrew + Lauren

Fall Wedding at Lesner Inn in Virginia Beach, Virginia | Andrew + Lauren

There are some moments during weddings that are so meaningful and special that as they happen, I know they will stick in my memory forever. At Andrew and Lauren’s wedding on a beautiful fall day at the Lesner Inn, it was something besides the obvious wedding day excitement and events that will forever be a part of me. What I will remember is the interaction between Andrew, Lauren, and their son as they finally acknowledged what has been true for years - that they are a family. The embraces they shared, the love that is so obvious between them, and the happy tears welling up in their eyes were all markers of a special moment in their lives that none of us will ever forget.

Beyond those sweet memories..

Best of 2013 // Hampton Roads Photographer

I have LITERALLY been looking forward to this post the whole year (Parks & Rec, anyone?). With each portrait session and wedding, I've become a stronger, more confident photographer who can deliver better images. I'll be honest - launching my business was terrifying! And really, it still is. I get nervous before each portrait session, and before each wedding, and every time I get a new inquiry...the list goes on. I've realized, though, that I'm not nervous because I'm afraid I can't deliver stunning images. It's because I want to get better each time I click the shutter, and I want each of you to see that progress.

I know I can tell my improvement throughout the year, and I hope you can, too. I'm excited for 2014 and all that it will bring. Have a wonderful New Year and enjoy some of my favorites from 2013!
