Spring is closer than we think.

Cherry blossoms, silk ribbon, soft light, and the quiet hum of a March afternoon at River Run.

✨ Anna & Andrew’s day at The Barns of Kanak was nothing short of magic. ✨
Anna’s one request? Portraits in the wide-open field. And let me tell you—the golden sunset glow delivered in the most beautiful way. 🌾☀️

These two were pure joy to photograph, and their evening portraits will forever be some of my favorites.

If you’re in the wedding world here in Virginia, come join us at the table!

Still dreaming about this session with K + C at Swannanoa Palace. The mountains, the light, and these two made it pure magic. A perfect afternoon with the sweetest souls in one of the most breathtaking places—what more could I ask for?

Give me love in the mountains and I’m in my element.
