Attention BOY mamas!
Make. Them. Do. The. Shoot. 👏

I hear it all the time…
“He won’t do it.”
“Well… find a way!” 😂
Bribe them if you have to!

Your baby boy is graduating. This is the closing of one beautiful chapter and the beginning of his next big adventure. And trust me… one day you’ll be SO glad you made the time for these photos.

These aren’t just senior pictures.
They’re memories of who he is right now — the smile, the personality, the boy you raised becoming the man he’s meant to be.

One day you’ll walk past these photos hanging on your walls and remember this season of life with so much pride. ❤️

“Oh, the places you’ll go!” 🎓

DAISES! Like ACTUAL wild Daises! Is what I kept saying when we walked out in this field. They were everywhere! White pedals, yellow centers....just beautiful. Caroline was up for anything. She was a pure joy to work with. Finished off the shoot at the beach. 3 outfits, 3 different backgrounds, all in one session, all one flat price!
If you still need senior pics, let me know!

Wow! Breathtaking!
This was a really fun senior session. And a Mini session at that! We shot for maybe 20 mins! She got a TON of images and one low -flat price! That's what's up! I love my job! I love what I do! It doesn't need to break the bank! Let's go!

Eeeek!!! I just LOVE how this engagement session turned out. This beautiful couple trusted me when I said I have this perfect location if you're down for it. And boy were they! I ain't gonna lie....I was a bit nervous sitting them down in the field but they were on a blanket (you can't see it) and they sat down for like 15 seconds to snap those shots....haha. They turned out great! Congrats you two!

These two!!! They lit up a room with their smiles! I first met Travon inside the Magnolia House in Hampton. We did a few grooms portraits of just him. I loved how nervous and excited he was waiting on his bride-to-be. He literally could not stop smiling. Then Charlee arrived and we kept her hidden away so they could see each other down the isle.
I LOVE when a groom tears up at their vows. Check out the photo of his tear. Ah! Travon definitely had tears of love and happiness. They were surrounded my immediately family and friends. Then we did a short and sweet set of photos around the house. I just love these small intimate weddings. Its fun for me to get to know the couples back stories. Congrats you two!

Renaya + Alex tied the knot on one of the coldest days last week! Brrr! We originally were doing a short and sweet ceremony by the fountains at City Center but instead walked into the Marriott and used the beautiful rotunda instead. Love the management there! They are so sweet! The piano was already in the rotunda so we had to snap a few pics with it. Congrats you two!

I photograph a lot of elopements here in the Hampton Roads area, and I kept thinking — how amazing would it be if couples could book their officiant, photographer, and bouquet all in one simple, stress-free step? With just one call or text, everything is taken care of. This all-inclusive experience is perfect for couples saying “I do” at the beach, in a park, in their own backyard, or even at the courthouse. I have partnered with the BEST in the area!
**Please pass along this info if anyone you know could use this awesome deal. Thanks!
