These family of seven Virginia beach sunset photos were magical and so fun to create! Little toes kicking up sand, curlicues from the humid salt air, splashing in the surf, belly laughs as little ones are tossed in the air.

A few days before their family session by the river in North Park in Waynesboro, Virginia, Laura told me that she was expecting baby number three! I’ll be the first to tell you that motherhood doesn’t come easily to a lot of us. Laura had an ultrasound scheduled for the day of our…

  My sister, Sophie, and her fiance, Ross, were supposed to say their vows at an intimate wedding ceremony in the mountains this weekend. Unfortunately Covid-19 had other plans, so in honor of them I thought I’d blog (for the first time in months… ok, ok, YEARS) and share some favorites from their engagement session. […]

We’ve been looking forward to Gabe and Ellen’s Harrisonburg, Virginia engagement session since last summer, so we were bummed when we saw rain in the forecast on the day of their shoot. But somehow in the midst of the rainiest spring we can remember, the clouds parted, the rain held off, and the sun even […]

We’d been looking forward to Chelsea + Jeremiah’s rustic wedding at On Sunny Slope Farm for a long, long time. When we met C + J for our sunrise engagement session last spring we were still doing business as “Aaron Mallory Photography” and they hadn’t even chosen a wedding date or venue yet.

Take a minute (AFTER checking out this beautiful wedding) to peruse the site […]

Engagement sessions, workshops, styled shoots, birthday parties, house projects, days at the coffee shop, and on and on and on. And now we are gearing up for our first wedding of the spring on Saturday and we couldn’t be more excited to […]

We met Chris and Kelli at Chris’s childhood home in Ivy last week for their beautiful spring engagement shoot. The redbuds and dogwoods were in full bloom, this place was one of the most gorgeous we’ve ever seen, and this couple could not be more ready to tie the knot! The perfect combination! We got […]

“Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man.” Rabindranath Tagore Baby Wren finally made her big debut last month and we got to meet her when she was only fourteen days new. Darling. She wasn’t interested in sleeping anywhere other than cuddled up with Mom and Dad, but that […]

  I know this blog was technically created for our business. To market our work and show off our beautiful clients. But it’s also a journal of our life together. It’s a place to keep track of our adventures and capture our own memories. Capturing moments in time for our clients is what fuels us, […]
