Gorgeous Kayla graduated from Radford University over this past weekend! Not only did she double major, but she was also the captain of the Radford Women’s Track and Field team, sang in a choir, and was an active sorority member. She was completely relaxed in front of the camera, ready for this big next step–graduating from college and ready to take on the world! Congrats again, Kayla!

This was my favorite kind of wedding. Simple, intimate, sweet, and full of joyous smiles and laughter. Congratulations, Pam + Ken! May you have a blessed life together and continue to radiate as much and more joy as you did at your wedding! xoxo, Lauren
I was one of the first of my friends to have kids. While it was a little tough to be walking that path without my friends to guide me, I take great pleasure in watching my friends walk those same paths after me. I want to tell them–this is hard. This parenting thing is no joke. These years when they need you so much, physically and emotionally, it drains you. But this will get easier, and then harder in different ways. But at least in some point in the near future you will get to sleep through the night, and diapers will be a thing of the past. The best part of this job? Capturing real loving moments between a Mom and Dad and their kids. You may not feel it all the time, but when I can capture that instant of a hug or snuggle or loving playful giggle, you can look back and be reminded of the warm bonds you are creating with your children, especially in those times when they are having rough days. Love you so much Nicole and Brian. Thanks again for letting me capture this wonderful time for your family.
Photography for me is my creative outlet. My passion/hobby where I get to interact one on one with a client, family, kids. However, one of the most fun aspects is getting to trade a service for a service. Melinda is a life coach and interior designer. She came to my house and in just a few hours rearranged my furniture and belongings to make several rooms feel so much more inviting, warm, and purposeful–something we were seriously lacking! In return, I got to do a photo session for her, play in the snow, and enjoy some one on one time with an incredible woman. Total perk of my job! Thanks again, Melinda–the house still looks just as you left it.
Project Snoopy At the beginning of January I was asked to be a part of a special surprise engagement. Ryan had his whole plan worked out. He didn’t know Blacksburg or Virginia Tech, but his soon to be fiance went to school here and he knew it was a special place for her. Being of the military, he had all his GPS coordinates plugged into a special black box with instructions for Linda. At each location was a rose for her with a snoopy label. She followed the trail of roses and met him at the gazebo at the VT Duck Pond. I would have been quite happy to have a zoom lens at that point, as I was trying to look like part of the scenery and not a scary stalker. Luckily, Linda said yes and I got to take more pictures of their special moment. Congratulations Ryan and Linda! I hope your wedding planning has been as fun to arrange as your special engagement!
