For this special 10 year anniversary session, Mel and I drove out to Roanoke early in the AM to beat the summer heat and catch the cool, crisp sunrise as it filled the quiet streets of downtown. We met with Jason and Vanessa Skidmore at the Green Memorial United Methodist Church, where they tied the knot 10 years ago in July of 2008. They brought a beautifully framed photo from their wedding, with Vanessa looking stunning in her wedding dress, and Jason in his dress blues! Fo

Mel and I had a wonderful time photographing this gorgeous, modern church wedding in Roanoke, Virginia this June! Kara Faber (now Murphy!) looked stunning in her bridal gown by Ashley Grace Bridal. Her bridesmaids gathered around her before the wedding, holding back tears - she looked absolutely stunning! Jonathan and his groomsmen sported their shades and favorite super-hero shirts under their tuxes: they were a blast to photograph! The couple's first look couldn't have been

Waking up at 5:00am has never been more worth it! For Adaline & Kosal's sunrise session, we set up camp in the open fields and watched the sun rise over the Blue Ridge Mountains. The weather was perfect and we had a blast exploring, and watching as the sky lit up like a firework with the rising sun. Afterwards, we included Henry, the cutest little bunny ever, for some photos with the couple! Thanks for waking up early and being adventurous with me, Adaline & Kosal! #adalineho

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 Ellie and Raistlin's session, we strolled downtown and explored the perimeter of the First Presbyterian Church in Roanoke, Virginia. These two love birds couldn't be more perfect together! Gorgeous, pink cherry blossoms created a romantic, petal dusted path under the canopy of ivy & fir on the church grounds. It couldn't have been a more perfect evening for a session with this lovely pair. ##elliejo #raistlin #couple #downtownroanoke #firstpresbyterianchurch #roanokevirgi

I met with Cassie & Andy for their mini engagement session at The Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center on an unusually warm and sunny January evening! The lights had just been lit in the Hotel's historical magnolia, and we had fun exploring the grounds and sharing laughs along the way. Congratulations, Cassie & Andy! Here's to a bright future ahead~* #oncloudcline #andycline #cassiemann #engaged #engagement #engagementphotos #engagementsession #roanokeengagement #roanokephotogra

Meet Baby Andrew, his big sister Macy & their parents, Dr. William & Mrs. Megan Moore! During this sweet, in-home session I got to meet baby Andrew and play with Macy in her big-girl room! She showed me her colorful polka-dot carpet and her collection of stuffed-animal pals. We then took photos with mom and dad, and Andrew showed off his sweet, spiky hair-doo! After Baby Andrew fell asleep, we wrapped him in a special heirloom from his great-grandmother to re-create a photo o
