remember being a senior in college and watching the new freshmen come in and feeling old. College happened in a flash!! One day I was a new freshman and then before I knew it, it was time to graduate! Tara was one of the underclassmen that made me feel old :) And to make me feel even older, she just graduated with a really fun class at CNU. I remember when they all arrived as freshmen and now it’s CRAZY that some of them are getting MARRIED! I was so excited to receive an email from Tara after seeing that Matt had proposed because I knew that their wedding is going to be so much fun! Michael and I love CNU weddings!!
Not only will their wedding be a blast this coming fall, but Matt and Tara are just beautiful! They’re a gorgeous couple and I loved shooting their engagement session! They met Michael, Bokeh and I downtown in Shockhoe Bottom and we shot in some new Richmond locations that I had never seen before! I’m sure the canal walk area is really well known to those that have lived in Richmond for forever but it was uncharted territory for me! I’m so thankful they were up for something new! Matt and Tara are probably the most easy going couple on the planet and I loved having a chance to get to know them a little better last Friday evening! Michael and I are so excited for them and I can’t wait to show some favorites! And ps. You know they’re a good looking couple when Michael walks by my office while I’m editing and says “Aww, they’re so cute”. He’s right! Not only are they cute, they’re incredibly photogenic too! Photographers dream:) Enjoy!!
Love alley light!!
I’m not sure if it’s Tara’s awesome model face or the stripes or the black & white but there is something so classic about this one and I’m loving it!!!
Love this!!
Another favorite! So glad we overcast skies and bright colors to work with! 
Seriously? So cute.
A favorite!!!!
Loved these murals! 
Thanks for reading!

There has never been a year quite like 2020. It started off so normal, so simple and so carefree. Then, March/April hit and it felt like everything was turned upside down!
Another month. I had forgotten just how fast it goes when they are this tiny. One minute they are in 0-3 month clothes and the next you’re unpacking 6month options!
How is it MARCH already in 2021?! This year is flying by and we’re getting closer and closer to the beginning of wedding season! At least we are here in Virginia! It’s my honor to get to introduce you to some of our KJ Students who are doing the hard work of educating themselves and growing their businesses! My hope is that their stories and advice will be an encouragement to anyone wanting to grow and feel confident before wedding season picks up!
Welcome to a brand new installment of KJ Student Spotlight!! It’s always a good day on the blog when we get to introduce you to some of our students and share their wins and advice!!! These three students have taken courses, watched Youtube episodes, are KJ All Access members, use our templates and have invested in themselves time and time again in order to grow their businesses! They deserve this recognition!!!
Here it is! Post one of twelve! I’m committing, once again, to blogging my favorite images each month of Everett’s first year and I’m excited about it because I know from past experience that this is truly the BEST motivation and accountability to stay on top of family editing!!
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!
