Once our spring season got started, it didn’t even think about slowing down. 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 […]

Charlottesville, Virginia Engagement Session | Hannah + Dustin

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, […]

Juneau, Alaska: Personal | The Mallorys (Part 3: Eagle Beach)

I have known Jessie since she was in the 9th grade. We met for the first time one Wednesday night at Young Life Club. I remember sitting on the beach at Young Life camp that summer talking about life and family and God. I remember the early morning bible studies we did together with our […]

Richmond, Virginia Engagement Session | Jessie + Ian

Jackie and Kyle met at the University of Virginia so even though they’re living in Pennsylvania and Ohio now, they opted to do their engagement session in the town where they found each other. It was a grey day and we worried that we’d get rained out, but we decided to press on with the […]

Did you see Part 1 of our Alaskan adventure on the blog last week? When they say “distance makes the heart grow fonder” they aren’t kidding! Aaron and I spent almost two weeks on opposite ends of the country with a four hour time difference. So when he finally made the long flight from the east coast […]

Juneau, Alaska: Personal | The Mallorys (Part 2: Sandy Beach)

Some of you know that in January I left my full-time job and began my journey as a stay-at-home-person. It’s strange, y’all! I spend a lot of my day by myself with a to-do list that is never-ending and yet rarely compelling. It’s been a weird season- a major life change, during our slow season, […]

The Long View Gallery in Washington, D.C. was the coolest creative space Tyler and Gerry could have chosen for their intimate winter wedding. This sweet bride was an artist and her artistic touch was felt in every detail of the day. She designed and hand-lettered the stunning invitation suite and calligraphed each envelope for their guests. She […]

As I type this blog post, this amazing kid is traveling around the country interviewing (or is it auditioning??) for colleges as he decides where to call home this fall. Ben is the most talented young musician we know. He has probably been playing the piano longer than he’s been writing his own name and […]
