Each session will be about 20-25 minutes long and will consist of 10 proofs, 5 digital files (prints on cd) and 3 desk top prints of the same file (5x7s or 4x6s). 

If you pick the day and location, you will be getting a 30-40 minute session as well as 15-20 proofs and 10 digital files with 5 desk top prints.

Looking forward to a great beach session year again!!

Kristina Bridal {Williamsburg Wedding Photographer}

When a bride wants to get bridal portraits done before her wedding, I'm so excited because when the wedding day comes, everyone is in a rush and sometimes you don't always get that ONE good picture you wanted with you and your dress. Plus its another time to wear your dress before the big day.

Kristina and I met in Williamsburg by the river. It was such a beautiful day, nice and cloudy (my favorite actually time of day) no harsh glares, not too bright, just right.  The only thing we were missing was the sun setting, but i still think we got some good ones that day.  Since Kristina has been married for a few weeks now, im safe to say we can finally share these pictures, my favorites of the day~ Enjoy and don't forget to leave a comment for the beautiful bride!



A special thank you to Crystal from Crystal Kay Photography for assisting me on this beautiful session :)




Gabby's One! {Virginia Children's Photographer}


I can't believe it has been a whole year already since G came into this world.  After having three kids of my own I should know how fast time goes.. Especially seeing my last little girl grow (who is already 3 months old- I know right?!) Anyway, little G grew just as fast.  Mom and I got together for her smash cake session a few weeks ago (okay maybe a month ago).  With each cake smash you just don't know how the child will react, but G girl did a great job and had us laughing :)  Enjoy and don't forget to leave her some love on the bottom of the page <3.



A look back into Little G's first year~

I was SO excited when she asked me to photograph her wedding.  I enjoy photographing for friends~ it makes me love my job even more :) Thank you so much Erin and Tim for allowing me to capture your special day!!
