I may be 15 years into being a wedding photographer but I still have some bucket list locations where I would love to shoot! When Sarah told me that she wanted to do her engagement session at Virginia House, I was so excited because believe it or not, I have NEVER shot here before!!
I’ve seen SO many sessions shot at this beautiful location and I’ve always wanted a chance to photograph a beautiful couple here. Coleman and Sarah, thanks for making my dreams come true at the Virginia House! It just so happens that right when I was shooting this session, I was in the middle of launching our brand new KJ Composition Course. Naturally, my composition radar was on high alert and this setting DID NOT disappoint!!! I can’t wait for you to scroll through the goodness of this session!
Another reason I loved this shoot was because Coleman and Sarah are dear friends. Michael was their youth pastor MANY years ago and we remember them as high schoolers! Seeing them in this season of life… engaged, careers, planning their wedding… it’s wild and so wonderful! I photographed Sarah’s sister’s wedding several years ago and there’s nothing I love more than doing a KJ Bride’s sister’s wedding!!! It’s like one big reunion and it’s the literal best! This wedding is going to be extra special because not only did I photograph Sarah’s sister’s wedding but I also photographed Coleman’s sister’s wedding too!
I’m in the season of my career where legacy weddings are truly what I look forward to the most! I’m not looking for crazy destination weddings or wanting to be published, I just love capturing these special days for these sweet families who trusted me YEARS ago to capture their first family wedding! It’s such an honor!!!
Ok, I’ve rambled enough… here are my favorites!! (There are actually about 128 more favorites that couldn’t fit into the blog post! Coleman and Sarah, get excited for your gallery!)
Some images are good, but others really DRAW you in and make you say WOW! But what are the factors that make an image stand out so much?
Adobe has consistently pushed the boundaries of technology in the realm of photography. With the introduction of the generative AI fill feature in Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, and Lightroom Mobile, photographers have been given a powerful tool to enhance their editing process. This feature is not just a minor update; it could be a HUGE time saver for you!
I started this 3-part series after walking through an incredibly hard season with one of our sons. But there are so many things I wanted to share in hopes of helping other mommas like me that struggle to figure out what was happening!

As a professional photographer, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless family portraits over the years. Each session presents a unique set of challenges, from managing energetic children to finding the perfect backdrops.
As a photographer, I’ve often found myself in situations where the location seemed lackluster or uninspiring. It’s easy to get caught up in the pursuit of the perfect setting, but the reality is that we don’t always have the luxury of shooting in the most visually stunning locations.
