Liz & Ben are some of the sweetest people I’ve ever worked with! It was a cold and windy winter day for this sweet couple’s engagement session but they just radiated so much love and happiness. I can’t wait for tomorrow to shoot their wedding at Cabell’s Mill. Rain or shine, their wedding is going to be pretty awesome.
Here are some of my favorites from this sweet couple’s engagement session.
I feel honored to know this lovely family and captured their sweet moments with their 5 month-old daughter, baby Cadence. Enjoy their beautiful pictures taken this past Fall!
That day proved to be one of the coldest ones that week, but our small team of photographers and our models braved the frigid temperatures to give us this beautiful styled shoot. One of our styled shoots featuring Amanda, our model, in a gorgeous fur coat was my favorite one. I can’t lie, there is nothing more fabulous than a fur coat. The images from the shoot here was part of a series styled shoots we did all in one day. Enjoy some of my FAVORITES from this styled shoot

A couple of weeks before my boys went back to school we took some time to snap a few “back to school” pics at the park. I intend to make this shoot as a yearly back to school event for us. As a photographer and mom, having the beautiful pictures of my boys to document such an important milestone in their lives is really important for me and for my sense of memory.
We had a lot of fun that day and my boys were really into the shoot which just makes my job easy! Enjoy..
I LOVE cherry blossoms! The flowers are only at peak bloom for a couple of days. In Spring, cherry blossom season is considered one of the greatest attractions in the capital area. People travel from all over the country just to see this beauty. As a wedding photographer, the cherry blossoms engagement session has been at the top of my list of things to do.
Emily and Chris are sweethearts and were completely natural when it came to posing. I really enjoyed getting to know them much better.
UVa is distinctive for its beauty. It’s the only college campus that is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it was designed by Thomas Jefferson himself, and the Lawn (the most famous part of UVa) and the surrounding gardens are distinctive from an architectural standpoint. UVA campus holds more significance to Aida & Isaac and their relationship. The couple chose winter engagement photos, unfortunately the snow was pretty much melted on the day of photo shoot. 
Anyhow, I got some awesome photos of these two enjoying their time with each other.
Continuing from my blog post part 1 with a blue-color-themed winter styled shoot, the outfits from the images here are bursting with a beautiful red color. I always love the pop of red against the snow. As one of my favorite colors, red is the color of energy and the symbol of life. It also evokes strength, power, and creates a visual impact. People tend to look more happier and attractive by wearing red.
Thank you again to my fellow photographers, models and friends who made this winter styled shoot possible. I look forward to working again with all of you. You guys really put your hearts and souls into this shoot.

Winter is generally regarded as the slowest season for photographers. For many of us, that is such a great time to rest and recharge, the time to update the website and set new goals. Some of us probably tend to have the winter blues as our mood rises and drops with the temperature. When other fellow photographers happen to be available, why not we plan a styled shoot together. This should be one of great ways to beat this winter blues and to boost our mood and our creative spark.
We then spontaneously styled a lovely shoot in the winter wonderland with just simple and elegant touches. For this part 1, I highlight here all blue/grey-color -themed style shoots that look elegant and fit good on Emily and Sarah (they were such troopers, brave the cold). Thank you all the teamwork for your wonderful contribution, I loved every bit of it! Stay tuned for next blog post (part 2) a red-color -theme from our snow winter styled shoots.
