meet the team
We want you to remain present and intentional throughout your session—but more importantly throughout your life… We aren’t your everyday photography team—we’re family and that’s how we treat you…. with tight hugs and tears on our cameras.
We believe in tickle fights and playing tag. We believe in grabbing each other’s butts and holding hands until your fingers cramp.
We believe in moments where you can breathe slowly and soak in every single second and we want to make sure that you’re able to be intentional at your session.... whether that be with your new precious baby, you spent so many years praying for... or if you're chasing around with the one that's growing up too fast.
Our team is excited to serve you and yours in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia... Chase and I are honored to serve the OBX area of North Carolina.
We’re all fam here… between all of us, we’ve got a little bit of high energy and shyness with a whole lot of awkward hugs thrown in!!!

our associate team covers the hampton roads area of virginia, while chase and i serve the beautiful OBX
alone we can do so little
together
we can do so much
when folks told me that 'training up the competition' was going to burn my business.... i dug my heels in even deeper and poured my heart out even more.
my associate program has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my business.... from the culture we cultivated to the friendships we've created along the way... it's truly indescribable... and fun fact: not only did my business not burn, it 'blew up' in the best way possible. #inserttearemoji
having the associate program allowed us to serve more incredible clients - i'm only one person, i can only do but so little... but together... like hellen keller said... we can do so much... and we have... so after 10 beautiful years of our associate team photographing weddings they will now have more time to continue serving our hampton roads families as they shift their focus to associate portrait photography.
some of these ladies have been with me for 8 years and counting... and that blows my mind! what a gift they have been in my business - and in my life.
my desire to teach other creatives and serve more incredible clients... turned into a lifetime of relationships and meaningful connections.
Meet Sharon Elizabeth
I'm passionate about teaching... and about photographing people... and I pray that somewhere along the way —you can see the light I try so desperately to keep lit.
I've come to realize that my enjoyment in photography isn't found by creating the perfect image... It's seeing someone feel beautiful—it's capturing someone laugh - it's watching two people fall in love again... It's bridging the gap between what once was and what will never be again. That's heartbreakingly beautiful and it's an honor to be behind a camera.
My heart belongs behind a camera...and when this big beautiful world seems to be failing me.... Behind a camera is where I find myself again. Sharing this with other creatives has been an absolute gift and a reward.
