Maggie's Bridal Portraits // Poquoson, Virginia, Wedding Photographer

Maggie is someone so special to me. She is the unique kind of person that has a sweet, serious side, yet pulls out the joking and funny faces when the camera is turned off. She is confident in herself and her decisions. She loves the children that she teaches, and is constantly striving to give them the best she can, even if it means longer hours and hard work for her.

You'll see from her bridal portraits that Maggie is drop dead gorgeous. What you won't see is the person behind the pictures - the one cracking me up in between shots, the one who has been beyond kind and generous to me since I met her in December. The one who is now married to the love of her life, enjoying being a newlywed after so much hard work planning the wedding!

Here is Maggie, sweet, funny, and beautiful.

...and I thought I'd save the best for last...

Best of 2014 - Weddings & Couples // Year in Review

Life brings many joys to me, not the least of which is spending time with people, photographing their family and their love for each other. Whether it's an engagement session, a wedding, or anniversary portraits, I am so thankful to witness couples at their very best, their most in love, their most joyful.

I absolutely love what I do, and I love spending time with couples as they get married or just walk through life together. Each one of these people are so special to me, and I'm grateful to call each one of them friends. My deepest desire is to capture each couple as they truly are with each other, and I hope you can see their personalities and love shining through in every picture. THANK YOU to all my 2014 couples! I love you all dearly!

Best of 2014 - Families // Year in Review

This past year was so incredible for me, and for my business. I learned and grew so much, and when I think back to a year ago, I am so encouraged by how far I've come. More than that, though, my joy is in meeting people through photography who I never would have otherwise met. I got to do just that with so many families this year.

Between having my first mini sessions to support our adoption (and having twice the response I was hoping for!), and getting to spend time with some incredible, sweet new families, all I can do is sit back and count myself blessed for getting to spend time with so many people.

It's hard to choose favorites, but here are a few that stood out to me this year. Here's to so much more to come in 2015!
