Tom + Angela

I met Tom + Angela through some mutual friends, and I was thrilled when Angela won my Instagram giveaway last fall! We had the most fun planning this East Beach photo session, and it was so fun to use my new beach cruiser! I love when the vision in my head comes to life! The dreamy light, the cheerful pattern on her dress, the beach grasses, and their sweet connection give me all the heart eyes! 

Their love + inner joy radiates in these images. What you can’t tell is that this couple had just received some really hard news. Instead of postponing, Angela wanted to go ahead with our session as a way to cope + bring joy.  Honestly, that is the driving force behind what I do.  I started this business in the middle of the darkest time of my life, because I needed to find the light. It’s the foundation for the type of images I strive to create- joyful, light, bright, connected.

It’s not just about pretty photos. It’s a glimpse of blessings even in heartache + disappointment. It’s a reminder that there can be beauty + joy in the midst of pain. 

Tom + Angela, thank you for trusting me to preserve these beautiful moments with our East Beach photo session. Your beautiful spirits shine through!

When we moved back to Hampton Roads last summer, I was so excited to discover all the fun places that popped up while we were away! Sweethaven Lavender Farm was at the top of my list, and when I saw they were hosting a lavender festival, I bought tickets for both weekends!

Unfortunately, the pandemic had other ideas. I’m so glad we were still able to make an appointment to pick our own lavender bouquets + enjoy the farm!

It’s about an hour away for us, but so worth the drive. The rows of lavender + beautiful farmhouse shop made my France loving heart so happy. I’m so excited to return next month when another variety of lavender + a field of wildflowers are blooming!

I highly recommend cooling off after picking your bouquet with the lavender lemonade. It’s as refreshing as it is beautiful! I also took home some of the lavender hand frosting + it’s heavenly!

Both my girls loved our time at Sweethaven Lavender Farm. It’s always interested to see how their age + personality differences manifest in new situations. While Adelyn very carefully snipped each sprig of lavender for her bouquet, Everly explored + ran until she was a sweaty mess. Adelyn slowly savored her lemonade, and Everly didn’t move until she had slurped every drop.

Our paper wrapped bouquets are displayed in each of our bedrooms, and we plan to dry them so we can enjoy a beautiful lasting souvenir! 

Check out their website to sign up to pick your own lavender bouquet! It really is the perfect escape during these weird times! Also, my head is filled with ideas for a dreamy portrait session here…who’s in?

Happy May, Friends!

Have the last six+ weeks of quarantine flown for you, or are they dragging on forever? I feel like it’s a mix + every day feels different!

I am SO ready to get back to photographing my sweet clients!  With Mother’s Day coming up, I want to do something special for the mamas! I know that you’ve been doing ALL. THE. THINGS + you totally deserve something special!

I’m still brokenhearted that I wasn’t able to host my Motherhood Event, but now I’m so excited to shift gears to offer a really special Mother’s Day Gift Certificate Box! You can forward this post to your husband, and I can coordinate with him to surprise you! Shh…A Kendra Scott necklace, a JJP Gift Certificate + some other of my favorite goodies might be involved!

I’ll make it easy on Dad to give you something extra special, and easy for you to feel beautiful after weeks in yoga pants + messy bun! We can choose a date later, so no stress about that! For your session, you’ll get to shop all the stunning new dresses in my Client Closet + have the option of adding hair + make up to really be pampered! We can do a motherhood session with just you + your babes, or include Dad too! 

I’m SO excited to start photographing again, and can’t wait to get you + your sweet family in front of my camera! I’m here if you have any questions!
