Momma loved Jesus. And, more than loving Him, she lived out that love. I’ve always said the best gift you can give a kid is the gift of Jesus. She gave us that gift. Jesus doesn’t make us perfect on this side of eternity, but living out a life of (and in) faith gives us a goal to work toward—kindness, generosity, joy, gratitude, and an approach to life’s ups and downs with prayer. She never stopped praying over the people she loved.

We gave Momma back to Jesus. Man it was hard, but in the end, it’s the only place she needed to be. This world of ours goes super fast and I’m gonna treasure every minute I got to spend with her these last ten months.

I love you, Momma.

Brand stories come to life when they capture the magic that happens behind the scenes. My monthly session with showcased the passion, hard work, and attention to detail that go into planning every pottery class. This story is about testing tiles, vibrant colors, and combinations that work.

Happy Birthday, Blackfriars Playhouse.

You’ve been mesmerizing audiences for 23 years and began charming me just 15 months ago. Every time I walk in, I feel your magic. How lucky am I to see all the preparations for each show, learn from brilliant humans, and capture the essence of this magical space.

Nine months with momma ❤️

Early morning coffee talks, cream of rice matching breakfasts, afternoon chocolate candy porch swing brain breaks, family fudge making adventures, watercoloring with Savanna, laughing with Gian Riley and Brent, and dreaming with me about lush gardens, colorful flower beds, what I’ve learned about theatre photography and my small business.

These nine months have been irreplaceable. You are so loved, momma.

Q: What do you get when you combine macramé, clay, plants, a love of creating?
A: A collaborative workshop by and

Over the course of four 2-hour sessions, you’ll learn how to hand-build a ceramic plant pot and then create a macramé hanger for your plant.

In the first two sessions, you will learn how to roll, texture, cut and assemble clay slabs into complete pots. In the third session, you will begin to think about the design of your macramé hanger and decorate your finished pot with glaze. In the fourth and final session, held in the beautiful upstairs classroom at Burrow & Vine on East Beverley Street, you will create the macramé hanger that will hold your completed pot.

How much do I love brand photography? Honestly, I simply can’t get enough. It’s not only an honor to support other small businesses and non-profits with gorgeous images, but I have a ton of fun telling those stories.

Whether I’m photographing behind-the-scenes at American Shakespeare Center or coffee, sandwiches, and bakery treats at Crossroads Cafe & Catering, hanging out with creatives at Staunton Clayground, soap making with simoneandtuesdayllc or cheering on and supporting Valley Children's Advocacy Center and their mission, I’m loving every minute of having my camera in my hand.

This has become one of my favorite sneaky portraits of momma. We made these diamond art crafts when she first moved in. I just love the messiness of my kitchen counter as we’re listening to music, crafting together.

I encourage you to pick up your camera (whatever you have) and capture some of your messy moments.

Three words. Go see Macbeth.

Golly day, I was blown away on Wednesday night photographing our Invited Dress Rehearsal. This was my first time seeing any Mackers performance and I can’t imagine seeing it with another cast on another stage. Just brilliant.

I’ll share tons of performance images and BTS during the run, but for now enjoy two photos of our set and the incredible collaboration between our costume and props departments with Jose’s directorial vision. It’s so good.

I don’t photograph every performance, but when our entire understudy team is called to the stage to perform, I lept at the opportunity to capture their performance.

Telling stories with my camera is what I do at ASC. And, this particular story was one I wanted told. We’ve regrettably had to cancel multiple shows due to illness in the last year and as disappointing as it is to our patrons, it really is quite devastating to our cast and creative teams. We literally do everything possible to get on that stage...
..and these three young actors did just that. In different costumes, without being on book (a script in their hand), without calling out Prithee (a staff member waits in the wing to call out the beginning of a missed line), and without anything but full energy and comedic timing.

I don’t know this show well because I don’t know all of Shakespeare’s plays, but what I do know is that our stage management, costume team, props team, and acting fellows worked their fannies off to make sure the show went on. Bravo, friends, bravo!

And, peep who is filling in for our stage manager. Mr. Darcy, himself.

On our recent trip to Palm Springs, I was fascinated by a cactus garden near our room. If you know me, you know I touched more than one, and no, I don’t recommend doing that.

I do, however, recommend chasing something you find fascinating. It’s good for the soul.

Sometimes you just gotta make a pie with your momma.

Lifestyle newborn sessions are almost entirely candid and brimming over with family snuggles. This big brother and sister couldn’t wait for their baby brother to be born. I love that they also were kind enough to make time to serenade me in between the snuggling.

25/05/2024

Did I love A Midsummer Night’s Dream because of Shakespeare’s clever storylines, cat fights, juicy purple flowers, fairies, love potions, a nonsensical play on wedding day or that amazing dress designed and painted specifically for Titania?

A smidge of them all, I guess. But mostly, it was this cast of fun and spirited actors bringing the story alive in their own way. Without a director and in rep with two other plays, these talented mortals are far from foolish. They simply make magic on our stage night after night.

My friends, the very talented cast: and Sarah Fallon

The theme for 2022's World Health Day is Our Planet, Our Health. Between 5 and 7 hours of daily exposure to smoke from cooking and heating water on indoor open fires cause lung cancer, pulmonary disease, heart disease, low birth-weights, diabetes, eye issues, and burns in villages worldwide. Efficient, vented stoves change the way women cook and the health of their entire family. Each fuel efficient stove uses 70% less wood than open fires, and pipes the toxic smoke outside. Less wood means less deforestation. Our Planet, Our Health. #worldhealthday #ourplanetourhealth #fuelefficientstove #Guatemala #villagetovillage #loveisthemission #familyportraits #familyphotographer #eventphotographer #weddingphotographer #OGM #harrisonburgva #harrisonburgvaphotographer #storyteller Village to Village
