This joyful girl. I’ve loved having Caroline in my life. About a year ago, we started helping out with youth group at our church and soon after, Caroline and Daniel moved to town and became a part of the group of students. I can’t imagine it without them!

Watching my wedding clients become parents has to be one of the coolest things ever. Most of the time I see it happen on Facebook, and I get to comment with all the heart eye emoji’s. I’m so thankful when it works out for me to meet the little ones in person, though. Y’all recognize this […]

These photos make her look like a movie star, but she has a style and way about her would make any Hollywood starlet jealous. Kristen chose Monumental Church for her bridals because, well, just look at these photos. […]

My friends are sending their kiddos off to school and I’ve watched some leaves fall to the ground. Fall is just around the corner, and although it isn’t my favorite season [I’m a summer girl], it has it’s perks. Clothes, football, pumpkin flavored everything…AND FALL MINI SESSIONS! Last year was the first time I’d offered the sessions and […]

Over the past few months, I’ve had a few days where I’d be home by myself for a few days. One of those days, I decided to stay up late executing a brilliant idea – a DIY backdrop. Three days and two trips to Lowes later, I had what I set out to make. Just a […]

I knew I loved Shannon the day I met her. We connected quickly because we’re both “only children” and both went to JMU! Having been in our community group at church for a couple of years now, I’ve been able to gain her as a friend. Her bubbly personality and her laughter draw you in. She’s […]
