There’s nothing more romantic than Central Park in the rain! Somehow I think I do my favorite work when the conditions aren’t quite perfect and I’m in a new area…I love the extra movement and realness that the wind and rain add to a photo…it was pouring the morning of our shoot and the forecast didn’t show much chance of the rain stopping!

This is different from my usual shoots, but I love this little family so much and I was so honored when Lauryn asked me to take their family photos! They welcomed their son, Mac, this year and he is such a little cutie. We had so much fun walking around the Capital building here in Richmond and they made my job so easy…I got to know Lauryn several years ago when Ryan and I moved to Richmond and it is so much fun getting to see her and Jared as parents! They are so fun, stylish, and loving…Mac is so lucky to have them! Thank you so much again Lauryn and Jared! I hope you enjoy

I’ve been waiting for this day when I finally get to reveal Ashley’s bridal portraits!

She is absolutely stunning and it was such an honor to take these photos for her family! The beautiful florals were designed by the talented Caroline of

I love when I can finally reveal bridal portraits on the blog…Cate and Preston were married this past weekend and had the most beautiful garden wedding celebration. We took this a couple of weeks ago on a warm early fall evening…the light was absolutely dreamy and Cate was the epitome of Southern elegance in her wedding gown…these were taken at her now husband’s family plantation home on the outskirts of Richmond and the setting fit her style perfectly! The tree lined driveway and her mother’s veil make these so perfectly Southern in my mind…I hope you enjoy my favorites!
