Eight years ago, Rachel & Darren hired me to photograph their engagement, bridal, and wedding portraits in October, 2011. I was 18 years old and had only ever taken photos for family and a few friends, but they put their trust in me to capture some of their precious memories - and I will forever be thankful to them for investing in my passion and seeing my potential way back then! It has been a joy to watch their family grow with little miss Kimber Rae! I had a great time exp

Last fall we had the honor of capturing this gorgeous little family become one as Sara Crowder & Josh Secrest tied the knot at The Kyle House in Fincastle! Little Savanna was the cutest flower girl, and loved twirling and dancing with her parents during the reception! We were over the moon when we learned that their little family was going to grow this year. A sweet baby boy will be joining the Secrest family this fall! To celebrate, we met up with our sweet friends and docum

Ever since Mel & I met the Cox family last fall, we have been looking forward to working with them again! Ashley had lots of adorable ideas for the girls' spring session, and found the perfect location at the Stuart Hill Bed & Breakfast. Stuart Hill's owner, Mrs. Cade, was delighted to have us take photos on her property, where she hosts many tea parties for little girls, birthdays, as well as weddings, and all kinds of events. Their Bed & Breakfast sits on a beautifully land

For this fun family session, Mel & I met the Cox Family at Sun Star Farms in Martinsville, Virginia! The sunflowers were at the mature stage, and the bold yellows popped beautifully in the background along with a stunning sunset over the farm's rolling hills. Big sister, Lila, showed me how fast she could run, and twirled in her pretty dress. We picked a beautiful sunflower for her, and found a group of bumblebees who were also enjoying the sun stars! Baby sister, Maylee, gav

For this fun family session, Mel and I met with the Beckner family on Market Street in Historic Downtown Roanoke, Virginia. We had a great time exploring the heart of Roanoke and all it's iconic highlights, including: Center in the Square, Century Park Plaza's Old Firehouse, The infamous Texas Tavern restaurant, and all of Roanoke's iconic, vintage signs like Dr. Pepper & Uneeda Biscuit! It was quickly very clear to us that this family is full of love for one another. We had

To celebrate Brinley Cline's 2nd year on Planet Earth, we met up at the park for some fun with bubbles! I had so much fun watching Brinley bop around in her cure little outfit and curls.

For this sweet, in-home session, I met the Ostergaard Family and their newest little addition, Newborn Daniel Barr! Daniel gave me the cutest little dimpled smiles, and his big brother, James, was super excited for the session! James took me on a little photo tour, showing me his big-boy room, his special basketball, digger trucks, favorite books, and snuggly hedgehog friend. We had a blast! Afterwards, we went outside to enjoy the beautiful spring weather. Mom, Lindsey, and

For this fun, family session, we explored The Rooftop Penthouse at Center in the Square, in Downtown Roanoke, Virginia! Gorgeous views of the city stretched out as far as the eye could see, the Blue Ridge Mountains setting the border of our little star city. We shared lots of laughter and I caught lots of sweet candid moments between this very special family of five! I couldn't get enough of how good the kids were in front of the camera. The best part, was their genuine smile

Looking stylish in their warm, winter coats, the Hodges family came together for photos at the Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center! We got cozy for some portraits outside on the bridge, and explored the perimeter of the hotel. Then, we made our way indoors to get warmed up and relax in the hotel's regal lounge. I had a blast working with this sweet family, and loved revisiting the hotel where I was married! #hodgesfamily #hodges #hotelroanoke #hotelroanokephotography #roanoke
