ASHLEY & BOBBIE Our couples love story begins with a deserted snow covered road near the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.

Creating beautiful and romantic engagement photography sessions. Spring is just around the corner and that means it’s engagement session once again. I absolutely adore these sessions with our couples because it’s allows us to spend time together and this is the perfect opportunity to address any posing (…like “what do I do with my hands?”) […]
BEHIND THE LENS
Adores long weekends with the family poolside, dog lover, and famous Mojito maker. Barefoot gardener, skincare junkie.
With over 16 years behind the lens, I bring a seasoned eye and a soulful approach to fine art wedding and boudoir photography. I specialize in creating luminous, emotionally rich imagery that reflects not only the elegance of the day but the tender, unrepeatable moments in between—a quiet touch, a spontaneous laugh, a tear held back. Each story I tell is approached with intention, artistry, and deep devotion. My work is heartfelt and timeless, capturing love in its most poetic and authentic form.
Originally from the tranquil beauty of Southeastern Canada, I now live in Virginia with my husband and our three children. When I’m not photographing love stories, I’m often found in my garden, crafting a new sourdough recipe, or hosting intimate, candlelit dinners—complete with my signature mojito. A Libra and a romantic at heart, I believe in beauty, balance, and the kind of love that feels like home. And yes, I’ll always think retiring to Tuscany to restore a sun-drenched villa is the dream worth chasing.
