I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to do what I do each and every day. My clients trust me to capture some of the sweetest and most cherished seasons of their lives, and it sure isn’t something that I take on lightly. When Jeana reached out about having me capturing an in-home family session, just after they were set to bring home a new bundle of joy, I actually teared up a little bit at my desk. What an honor it was to play a tiny part in capturing this very special season in this sweet family’s life.

We made it to FRDIAY, y’all! I’m gearing up to second shoot a wedding tomorrow, am working with a sweet family on Sunday & get to head to my favorite beach spot for one whole day of vacation! PHEW busy season is here, but I am SO excited to get out of town (even if it is just for a day!!) Today’s post is all about your floral delivery!! Specifically, we are going to talk about why I ask that your bridal bouquet be delivered prior to my arrival.

If you know me well, you know that I absolutely love, love, love my school! I graduated from Penn State, and any time I can get back there is welcomed with open arms! So, when Maddie & Mike reached out to me about photographing their Penn State wedding, I pretty much had my car packed the second we got off the phone! Wow… what an honor it was to spend the day beside these two and their families!

Happy Friday, friends! By the time you read this post, I’ll be off photographing a sweet couple tying the knot at PENN STATE! EEP I am so excited! I’ll be back at my alma mater today for a gorgeous outdoor wedding (followed by a fun reception at the Penn Stater!!), and then, I am off to PA to second shoot with Savannah on Saturday! It is going to be a busy weekend but such an amazing one! This week on Friday Chatter, I wanted to take a look at something that can make a big difference in your wedding gallery & your overall experience: your getting ready space!!

I am SO excited to share this sweet engagement session with you! Y’all, I feel like Mother Nature kept checking my calendar when she was scheduling rain storms because their session was rained out quite a few times! Luckily, these rainy days led us to a gorgeous golden hour!! You are going to want to see more of these two sweet souls!

Ahh I am SO excited about today’s post! It actually came as a request from one of my sweet followers, and I thought it was such an amazing idea! I know that being in front of the camera can feel a little uncomfortable at times… I get it! Being photographed by a professional photographer can be a little nerve wracking… you’re dressed up, you’ve made a financial & time investment, and now she’s asking you to kiss and giggle in front of a camera?! Phew… that’s enough to kick in almost anyone’s adrenaline!

Today’s post is for all my fellow vendors! We’ve been at this wedding season for a few months now, and I’m sure we have all become too familiar with the dreaded and inevitable next day wedding vendor “hangover.” Now, before we get too far into this post I need to clarify something: A wedding vendor hangover is NOT a result of drinking too much while on the job! It’s not even a result of drinking!! I have never and will never drink at a wedding that I am working!! OK… now that we are all on the same page, let’s chat about what a wedding vendor hangover really is!

Ahh I am so excited to share this FUN friend session with you today! As many of you know, I also teach barre for a company called FlyWheel Sports! A few months ago, we had a fun themed pulse with a giveaway, prosecco and all of the pop music that I could squeeze into a 45 minute chunk of time. The giveaway? A 30 minute session on the steps of our nation’s Capitol! Sweet Anna was in class that day, and she ended up winning the session!

I looked at my calendar this week and realized that, as of this Saturday, I have officially called Washington, DC home for TWO years now! WOW time flies! Last year, I shared a letter to myself. I shared the words that I would have told the girl getting off the plane, fresh out of college with a dream and not a whole lot of plans. I reread this post this week, and I cried like a baby. It was a bit embarrassing… thankfully, I was alone in my apartment. Goodness… how so many things have changed and how so many things have stayed exactly the same.
