Happy Graduation Kennedy! Just days away from her high school graduation, Kennedy is obviously ready to conquer the world. We had a blast on her portrait session in Richmond, Va. and I know that wherever her next phase takes her, Kennedy will rock. Her lively spirit and playful attitude will take her far and I look forward to hearing about her adventures. Best of wishes to Kennedy and following are my favorites from our session!
Old Town Alexandria is always a favorite location of mine for photography sessions. You can’t go wrong with the rows of historic homes, the cobblestone streets and the waterfront. Athena and Alex felt the same way when they decided to have both their engagement session and their wedding celebration in Old Town. So we pranced through the streets one afternoon this month and had a lot of fun collecting photographs to showcase their relationship, in all its romance and its silliness! I look forward to watching this beautiful couple tie the knot here next September. In the meantime, following are my favorites from the session: enjoy!
Kyli and Omar tied the knot in a beautiful celebration at Tuckahoe Plantation in Richmond, Va. Their wedding was a gathering of friends and family from across the world, all there to toast to Kyli and Omar and their big step. Although the setting was decisively Southern with the little flower gardens, rolling fences under ancient trees and countryside views that make Tuckahoe Plantation so beautiful paired with late afternoon light sifting through those ancient trees and coating everything around us, this celebration had a few extra touches meant to honor Omar’s roots and his family. Prayer beads in the groom’s pocket, a professional belly dancer to dazzle the guests and a hookah lounge set up under bistro lighting all contributed to tell the story of Kyli and Omar and their wedding day. A particularly rowdy wedding party got the fun started right from the portraits and the rest of the guests continued the party on the dance floor. And, you know it’s been a good time for all when the happy couple runs through the sparklers with a cigar and drink in hand! All the best to Kyli and Omar as they continue their journey together. Following are my favorites from the day: enjoy!

I had the great pleasure of documenting Erin and Bobby’s wedding just a few years ago and I was thrilled to hear about the next big adventure they have embarked on. This beautiful couple is expecting a baby girl, who is set to arrive this June and has so much love and cuteness awaiting her that I bet she can hardly wait! We lucked out with blue skies and spring temperatures as we played in Richmond’s own Maymont Park and then made our way to Carytown. Many many girly points to Erin for doing the entire session in heels…my hero. Following are my favorites from the day: enjoy!
