It seems like forever since I've stared at the page of my blog, putting a post together. With the end of summer and the beginning of a new school year, I gave myself a much needed blogging break. Not that I haven't had a ton of sessions, weddings, and the like to post, but I just needed to focus on other aspects of my business to ensure that my clients get their images in a timely manner and so the blog is the first thing on my list that takes a back seat when crunch time happens and well, …

Riverside on the Potomac Wedding, Brittney & Nathan: Virginia Wedding Photographer

Stoneleigh Golf & Country Club Wedding, Gennie & Cody: Virginia Wedding Photographer
Gennie & Cody have such a sweet love story that it's worth retelling. They met serendipitously at a friend's backyard barbeque. They before they knew it, Gennie's ride had left the barbeque which left her with only one thing to do, ask Cody for a ride home. In exchange for $40 in gas, since it was quite a distance, Cody took Gennie home. The very next day, he invited her to lunch and used the $40 to buy her lunch. Cody, you are a smart man! There's a lesson here which is, don't wait to …
