January 2020 seems like a different decade. It’s honestly kind of shocking to look back and realize the events that happened over the past year are all…in the same year. Beyond what happened in the wider world, my personal experiences felt extraordinary and overwhelming. The only way to survive it was to keep my head […]
I want to talk a little bit about something I’m super passionate about: printing your photos. I cannot emphasize this enough: A digital file should NOT be viewed as the end-product of your session. A printed photo or album needs to be. Here’s why: A couple of years ago when I was working as a […]
A common misconception is that eloping is just two people, an officiant and a photographer. And it CAN look like that! About a quarter of my couples who elope choose a “just us” experience. But most of my couples who choose to elope actually invite a handful of guests to be with them. Often, it’s […]
WHAT a year y’all. I went through more than 15,000 edited photos for this blog post ALONE (and this year in review post is just focused on weddings and elopements!)

I’ve been really lucky with my pregnancy in that I’ve been healthy, had relatively few symptoms, and have been able to remain active for its entirety. […]
Haley and Allyson’s Charleston, WV October wedding at J.Q. Dickenson Salt-Works was my last wedding of 2018. But goodness it was the perfect way to close out the 2018 season. They got ready in separate suites at the Embassy Suites in Charleston and then headed to J.Q. Dickenson for their first look and family photos. […]
Miguella and John were married in the Caribbean on the island of Tobago. John is from West Virginia and Miguella has lived in Charleston for several years, so we got to do their engagement session at Babcock State Park along the New River Gorge before heading to the beach for their wedding several months later! […]
Miguella and John got married on the island of Tobago in the Caribbean (of Trinidad and Tobago). Before their wedding day, they invited the bridal party on an extended afternoon of shenanigans on the water, including a glass bottom boat tour, beach bbq, snorkeling and lots of dancing. Miguella was born in Trinidad and she […]
