The Christmas I received my little point and shoot 35 mm, I was in heaven. It never left my hand; I took pictures of everything and I went through film like you would not believe… Looking back now, you could probably say that I wasted a lot of film. But when I look at those pictures, I see a common theme of a love for people and a desire to capture moments and emotions.
In high school there was a turning point when I knew this wasn’t just an interest, but my passion, when I learned my grandfather also shared my love, and I had the chance to develop negatives of my mom as a newborn. Being able to see what my grandfather portrayed showed me how powerful an image can be as fleeting moments are captured through a photograph.
The power of an image is it’s ability to communicate silently.
My love for people led me to a degree in psychology and a deep desire to serve others: in overseas missions, in helping a bride on her special day and making a mother-to-be feel stunning with the life growing inside her. Photography allows me the privilege to meet wonderful people and communicate more than just memories; but to share the story behind the emotions.

We were so excited to finally meet little Noah! I had lived with Nicole when we were both single so it was wonderful to catch up on life and see how much has changed since both getting married and having our first babies. Noah is such a handsome little man and it was so much […]
Portrait and Senior sessions are quickly becoming one of my favorite types of sessions to photograph. Ladies like Katherine make my job so easy! Katherine was an absolute joy to photograph. Truly a gorgeous girl; inside and out. We ventured out to Meriweather Manor for her session, which had so many amazing places to photograph. […]
The weather was absolutely perfect, location was beautiful and Kari was stunning. In an intimate ceremony at Shade Trees and Evergreens, Jason and Kari became husband and wife. And a day usually dreaded by others (Tax Day), became a day they will treasure and never forget. It could not have been more perfect!
I’ve known Jason for several years, working together at America World Adoption. I was so excited when I found out he was engaged, and even more thrilled when they chose me as their photographer! We had so much fun wandering around Middleburg for the afternoon and it was so wonderful being able to get to […]
