The Capitol went under construction so we pivoted to using the VMFA in downtown Richmond instead! Not a problem! We’re flexible! Then….
The pedestrian bridge to Belle Isle closed down the DAY of the shoot because of falling concrete! What are the chances?! So my question is, could you tell that these locations were back-up spots?! I sure can’t! I’m so proud of these two for being flexible and trusting! They are the epitome of an amazing KJ Couple and I’m thrilled that Michael and I get to be a small part of their story!!
These two work together in the wedding industry and I see so much of their hustle season in our own story. They are growing dynamic businesses and it’s fun to see a young couple pursuing what they love and thriving at it! We tend to photograph a lot of photographer’s weddings these days and it’s honestly so much fun because they get it. They get the excitement over even, clean and glowy light. They get the thrill of finding layering foregrounds. They also get what it feels like to have to come up with a new location idea on the fly when something comes up that was unexpected! I can’t WAIT for our All Access members to get to see this episode one day in the future!!
Enjoy my favorites and get excited to see these two on their wedding day!!!!
Thanks for reading!

If you’ve ever walked into a photo session and silently panicked about where to shoot… If you’ve ever crossed your fingers hoping golden hour would save you… If you’ve ever opened Lightroom thinking, “I don’t even know how to fix this lighting…”
Three years ago, Michael and I helped launch a school that would completely reshape our family’s life, and the lives of so many others. This past weekend, we traveled to Austin, Texas, for the annual Acton Academy Owners Conference, and I left with so much to share.
I haven’t done one of these Where I Am updates in a few weeks, and honestly? It’s because life has felt full and fast…but also slow and sweet in ways I didn’t expect!
You know those images that just glow? The ones where the lighting feels effortless, the tones are dreamy, and everything looks polished—even if it was taken in a less-than-perfect spot?
This week’s Where I Am is short, sweet, and exactly what it’s meant to be: a quick check-in on life, faith, and business.
Some sessions are special because of the people. Some sessions are special because of the place. And then there are sessions like this one… where everything comes together to create something truly unforgettable.
