for a treat! Yup! right here on the blog. You’re going to love this couple and you’re going to love them 10x more when you see their classy 2nd outfit. Robbie loves to dress up and Nicole had a fabulous pair of heels that had never been worn. This all worked in my favor. We had an amazing time in Colonial Williamsburg last week. It was a tad chilly but we made it just in time to catch some leaves before they were gone for good. Winter kinda becomes depressing for photographers. Not much sun, not terrific light, not many colors… so I was happy to have one last session with color that POPS!
Robbie and Nicole are so stinkin sweet! I meet the most awesome people through my job and I’m loving it… like really loving it. Robbie’s proposal was incredible and when Nicole emailed me, she told be the WHOLE story, start to finish and I was impressed. I was impressed by Robbie’s thoughtfullness…. (He had a limo and everything!) AND I was impressed that Nicole wrote the whole thing in one email! It took her two hours!!! Any girl that is THAT excited to be engaged is my kind of girl! Shooting their engagement session on their Alma mater’s campus was such a privilege. As we got close to our 1/2 way mark of our session, the clouds came rolling in and we lost a ton of light. HOWEVER, by that time, these two were pros and they rocked the end of the session in record time…. I actually like the shots that were a little rushed even more! (Maybe that has something to do with those amazing black and white outfits! loved it! Enjoy some of my favorites and be sure to share on FACEBOOK if you think someone else might enjoy these as well!!
oooh lala
Nicole you’re so cute!
Robbie, you did well…BEAUTIFUL ring!
Here we go!
LOVE THESE!… They look almost like they were taken in front of a backdrop… but that’s a REAL building. Promise.
Same location, four different poses… we were trying to make the best out of our fading light!
Robbie you have a gorgeous fiance’!
One of my favorites…. there is so much happiness is this shot!! I love my job.
Ok, I know what you’re thinking “Oh my GOSHHH Katelyn, you post WAY too many shots for engagement sessions!!!” …. Yes, I know… I’m working on it, ok?
My clients have fun during their sessions… I think. They may just be laughing at me…. whichever if fine with me, it works and they look happy!
This was a last minute “ohh just run over to that building really quick!” moment. I’m glad they were up for it! So Colonial Williamsburg!
Thanks for reading!

It’s hard to believe I’m writing this… my fourth birth story in four years. I’ve given birth in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. Just typing that makes me tired….. and so grateful…. unbelievably grateful. These last four years have been the best and hardest of my life. We cherish being parents and welcoming a new baby is hands down the most incredible thing we have ever experienced in our 18 years together. I’m so excited to introduce you to our newest member of our family and tell you the story of how he came into this world!
Whether you’re brand new to business or have been in business for quite a while, this brand new Youtube video is for you! Michael and I, early on in our business, struggled to relinquish tasks to other professionals outside of our business. Really…. It was more of MY STRUGGLE than his.
Welcome to December’s Student Spotlight!! It’s a new month and we have new photographers to celebrate!! I’m so thankful for them and for their willingness to give of their time and share their stories!!!
This shoot was supposed to happen about a month earlier on the exact day that leftover rains from a hurricane swept through Washington. I’m so thankful we rescheduled! Our reschedule date was absolute perfection! The temperature, the glow, the locations…. it was beautiful! Tyler and Abby’s outfit choices were wonderful and the leaves were full of color and still hanging on the trees.
When Michael and I were in our early years of dating, I would go on trips with his family for Thanksgiving and summer trips to West Virginia and I spent time with his cousins! “Bri-Bri” was so little! He’s the youngest of all of the cousins and it’s crazy to think that he’s old enough to be getting MARRIED! He’s actually older than we were when we got married!! We have known Shannon for years and we were THRILLED when we heard that Brian had proposed because we always hoped that would happen!!!
Maybe it’s just me…. but I feel like this fall is FLYING by! It seems like just the other day that I was sharing about three more KJ Students who are doing amazing things in their businesses! Well, this weeks marks the beginning of November and I have three amazing students to introduce you too!!!
