top ten of 2009 | a grateful photographer

This year was crazy for me. Fantastic and terrible all at the same time. My dreams came true and so have a nightmare or two. But I am a better person because of it. I look back on 2009 as a year of personal growth and I love it. I have always loved to learn...

Merry Christmas

I have had a hard time getting in the Christmas spirit this year. Truth be told, I listen to Christmas music year round, so the holiday tunes weren’t really doing it for me. I dreaded putting up a big tree and filling it with our ornaments because all I could think about was taking it...

Little Addison | Fredericksburg Newborn Photographer

A closed studio can’t stop a baby from being born. And it’s a good thing, too, because this little one came right before the huge snowstorm rolled into town. Her mama didn’t even want to think about what could have happened if she was even 12 hours later (can we say snowed in?)!
I am...

Samantha and Rahul | Lynchburg Wedding Photographer

When Samantha and her mom first met with me they were inquiring about a May 2010 wedding. When they decided to book with me we set up a time to get together to talk details and sign the contract for a May wedding. So, life happens and our lunch date was put on hold for...

holiday pets

Do you have a stocking hanging for your pet? The Obama’s do. And so do we. I learned the hard way not to fill those stockings until Christmas morning because those dogs can smell their treats a mile away!
When Tommy and I returned from our Tennessee vacation, I took a week’s worth of mail...

my heart

One of my goals for 2010 is to pour my heart into my photography.
My photography. Not the branding of my business. Or designing a new website. Or pleasing my peers. Or finding “inspirational” photographers to feed off of. But to find out what photography means to me. What does it do for me? Why do I...

Gratituesday: Blessings of 2009

That’s a wrap!
My 2009 year of sessions, that is. I finished up 2009 with a last minute (due to the upcoming deployment) wedding on Saturday and a 60th wedding anniversary party Sunday (sneak peeks coming shortly!). And if I do say so myself, it was an awesome way to close out the year -...

Getting so big! | Fredericksburg Baby Photographer

I LOVE when I get to see this precious boy, whose dark brown eyes just light up my soul when I see him! And, well… let’s just say that feeling wasn’t mutual yesterday.  I have a couple of really great out takes from yesterdays, session, but luckily after a two hour nap (when his mom...

Operation: Love | Lynchburg Military Photographer

The reunited part will have to wait a few months. (A year?)
I had the pleasure of meeting up with this crazy beautiful and so in love family this afternoon. The light was delicious after the rain we had today and I couldn’t wait to get some of these images online. The Mr. here...

Gratituesday | Winter Vacation

The holidays are in full swing around here!  All print orders have been placed and (almost all) sessions have been completed. I’ve got one more wedding, one more event, and one more session on the calendar this week to help wrap up 2009. Then… then! My vacation begins. (Well, sort of.)
Tommy and I...
