One year of Dylan & Jhosselin.

Young love is such a beautiful thing. It’s exciting and unpredictable, full of dreams, possibilities, and so many unknowns. But sometimes, even at 21, you find someone who makes you certain about the one thing that matters most… who you want beside you through it all!

These two are learning what it means to love each other through some pretty difficult circumstances.

Dylan is serving our country, stationed hundreds of miles away. Jhosselin is here in Virginia. They’re both working toward their educations, their careers, and the futures they envision for themselves. And somewhere between the phone calls, FaceTimes, goodnight texts, countdowns, airport goodbyes, and the occasional precious few days together… they’re continuing to work on building something beautiful!!

It’s not easy. And I know there are days when the distance feels unbearable.

But love isn’t always about getting to spend every day together. Sometimes it’s about continuing to choose each other on the days you can’t. It’s about patience, sacrifice, trust, and believing that everything you’re working toward today will be worth it someday!!

This week, Dylan was able to come home on leave to visit… so of course I had to get them in front of my camera!!

As his mom, there is something incredibly emotional about watching the little boy I raised become a young man who is building a life of his own. I still see that little boy in him sometimes. Ok, a lot of times, lol! But then I watch the way he looks at her, the way they laugh together, and the happiness they bring each other… and I realize just how much he’s grown.

And Jhosselin…

Gracias por amar a mi hijo, por cuidarlo y por estar a su lado incluso cuando la distancia hace que todo sea más difícil. Gracias por ser parte de su felicidad y por construir junto a él un futuro lleno de sueños. Espero que la vida siempre les dé razones para sonreír, fuerzas para superar los momentos difíciles y un amor que siga creciendo con los años. Me alegra muchísimo que seas parte de nuestras vidas.

Thank you for loving my son. For being part of his happiness. For choosing him even on the days he drives you crazy!

I hope you both keep chasing your dreams, supporting each other, laughing at the ridiculous things, and remembering that you’re on the same team, even when life gets hard.

You have so much life ahead of you. So much to experience, so many places to go, and so many memories still waiting to be made!!

And I can’t wait to watch your story unfold (and maybe even capture some of it along the way!)!

Happy Anniversary, you two. I love you both so much!!

Ok, y’all… time for some real talk.

It’s October.
I’m smack dab in the middle of my craziest stretch of wedding season… and if I’m being completely transparent… I’m exhausted.

September, October, and November are always absolute chaos. I eat, sleep, and breathe weddings. My days are spent photographing them, my nights are spent editing them, and somewhere in between I’m answering messages, building timelines, juggling schedules, putting out fires, and trying desperately to keep all the balls in the air.

And lately? I feel like I’m dropping them everywhere.

I’m behind on deadlines. I’m behind on messages. I’m behind on LIFE. And I promise you, nobody is harder on me about that than I am. Here’s the thing about me…

My heart genuinely believes I can do ALL the things. Fix ALL the problems. Help ALL the people. Take on ALL the work.

My body, however, has started reminding me that I’m only human.

I give and give and give because that’s just who I am. I want everyone to be happy. I want everyone to feel important. I want every couple to have the most beautiful memories. I want to fix all the problems everyone is experiencing. I want to show up for my family, my friends, my clients, and everyone who needs a piece of me.

But sometimes, by the time everyone gets their piece, there’s absolutely nothing left for myself.

My cup is empty. My spoons are gone. And I’m still over here trying to pour from it anyway.

I’ve missed birthdays, family gatherings, celebrations, and moments I’ll never get back. I’ve lost friendships because I’m always working. And sometimes I wonder when I became so busy capturing everyone else’s lives that I barely have time to live my own. And that’s a really hard thing to admit when you genuinely LOVE the life you’ve built.

Because I do. SO much.

For 22 years, I’ve had the INCREDIBLE privilege of being invited into people’s most important moments. I’ve cried behind my camera, laughed until my face hurt, made lifelong friendships, and built a career doing something that still makes my heart happy.

I am so unbelievably grateful. But I am also so unbelievably tired. And apparently those two things can exist at the same time!!

So… if you’re waiting on a gallery, an email, a message, or something else from me, please know I’m NOT ignoring you. I haven’t forgotten you. I’m working as hard and as fast as I can, and I hate that I’m behind!!

I’m not asking anyone to pretend deadlines don’t matter. They DO!! And I know how much you’re looking forward to your photos. I’m just asking for a little patience, a little kindness and a little grace while I work my way through this mountain in front of me. Because I’m one person. One very tired, very overwhelmed, incredibly grateful person who’s doing her absolute best.

I don’t want to stop giving my whole heart to what I do. I just need to remember that I can’t keep giving every last piece of myself away.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got approximately 1,847 things on my to-do list, a coffee that’s probably gone cold and needs to be reheated for the 4th time this morning, and a whole lot of beautiful memories waiting to be edited.

Thank you ALL for your continued support!!🫶🏻

There is something so incredibly rewarding about seeing your photography come to life beyond the camera!

These are some of my photographs that were selected for the Hampton Inn & Suites Washington DC Navy Yard, and I absolutely LOVE seeing them beautifully matted and framed!

A huge shoutout to Conklin Custom Frames for the incredible craftsmanship that went into bringing these pieces together! The attention to detail, quality, and care put into every single frame truly speaks for itself.

I’ve always believed that the little details make the biggest difference, and it’s refreshing to see that same passion reflected in another small business.

If you’re looking for beautiful, quality custom framing, whether it’s for your home, office, or commercial space, definitely check them out! Supporting small businesses that genuinely take pride in their work is something I’ll always get behind!

For twenty two years I have had the honor of capturing love stories for couples all over the country and beyond! I have witnessed so many beginnings and so many moments that changed lives. But THIS one will forever hold its own special place in my heart!!

Thirteen miles round trip through the Shenandoah forest. Definitely a little more than I expected. My legs were burning, my body is still sore, and I absolutely pushed myself farther than I thought I could. But, I assure you, every single grueling mile was worth it!!

My youngest son, Dylan, took some leave and flew home for a visit. He told his girlfriend, Jhosselin, that I wanted to take some Twilight inspired photos for my portfolio. But… Dylan had been planning this moment quietly and carefully for a while now!

He wanted it to be perfect.
And it was!!!
It was everything!

We hiked deep into the forest, seeking out a waterfall we discovered online. It was the spot Dylan chose to ask Jhosselin to spend the rest of her life with him. We took a few photos of them together to get things rolling… and then it was time!!

I watched her face shift from surprise to disbelief, to pure joy as he knelt down on one knee at the top of Rose River Falls, held out a ring, and proposed. The anxious look on his face, the nervous shake of his hands, and then the big ol’ smile and thumbs up after she said, “YES” made my heart explode with love!!

Everyone around the waterfall stopped to watch. When she said yes, everyone cheered! Complete strangers celebrating a moment they instantly understood was pure and real. I stood there with happy tears running down my face as I realized Dylan definitely wasn’t a kid anymore. He’s all grown up and ready to take the next steps of his journey with Jhosselin right by his side. What a truly bittersweet moment!!

I love Jhosselin. I love her kindness, her sweetness, her never ending thoughtfulness, and the way she looks at my son like he is her whole world. I am absolutely thrilled to welcome her into our family!

CONGRATULATIONS, Dylan & Jhosselin!!! I am SO incredibly happy for you and can’t wait to follow along on your journey together. Thank you for letting me be a part of your beginning!

I’ve been staring at this collage of my life and feeling that familiar tug in my chest. The one that keeps reminding me why I do this. Why I chase light across state lines. Why I throw my gear in the car and follow love wherever it leads. Why I keep saying YES to the miles, the airports, the dirt roads, the oceans, the mountains, the strangers who become friends, and the stories that become part of me!!!

My world is built on moments that don’t wait.

The in-between.
The wind-shift.
The breath before the kiss.
The laughter that breaks open the whole room.
The quiet that says everything.

This year, I’m leaning FULLY into my travel era! The go-anywhere, meet-you-there, let’s-make-magic-in-a-place-that-means-something era. If your love story deserves a backdrop as wild, tender, or untamed as you are, I’m ready!!

And because I want to create more space for connection, I’m offering something special for a limited time for couples who book me for their 2027 wedding or elopement in any state! You’ll receive a complimentary day-before or day-after session. Think of it as a story extension. A chance to breathe, explore, wander, and create something intimate and real without the timeline or the noise. A session that feels like the two of you, exactly as you are!

If you’ve ever wanted me to come to your city, your coastline, your mountains, your desert, your favorite hidden corner of the world, this is your moment!!

If you’ve followed my work, connected with my heart, or felt something in these words, sharing this post helps more than you know!! Tag someone who needs photos that feel like the true moments that were captured. Comment if you want my travel calendar. Tell me where your story wants to be told!

If you’ve ever been to the top of Mt. Scott in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, then you already know… the wind up there does whatever it wants!!!

And when I say Kelly & Brandon got HIT with it during their session, I mean we were fighting for our lives a little bit!!!

Her long pink hair was whipping around in every direction, Brandon almost lost his hat at one point, and there were definitely moments where we all just looked at each other and started laughing because Mother Nature had clearly chosen chaos for the evening!!

But somehow… it WORKED!!!

The wild wind, the dramatic skies, the way these two looked at each other like nobody else existed around them… it all came together into something that felt raw, fun, and ridiculously real.

And their chemistry? Absolute fire!!

Some couples need a little warming up in front of the camera. Not these two. Kelly & Brandon were completely down for whatever crazy idea I threw at them, trusted the process, embraced the madness, and made my job so easy!

I do wish we could’ve stayed longer because the weather definitely cut our time short, but I’m so glad we pushed through long enough to create some magic anyway!!

Sometimes the sessions that don’t go perfectly end up creating the most memorable images.

The movement.
The laughter.
The windblown hair.
The almost-lost hat.
The way they held onto each other tighter every time another gust rolled through.

And honestly… I’m obsessed with how these turned out!!

Kelly & Brandon, thank you for rolling with the chaos, trusting my vision, and fully embracing the adventure with me. Sessions like this are the ones I end up thinking about long after they’re over!! I hope we get to do it all over again one day!!
