Will a mini session work for your family? Probably! It depends on what you're looking for as an end result.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mini sessions are 20 minutes long, and I work quickly. If your group is 1-5 people and you're looking for some nice, updated pictures, then they're totally for you!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If your kids are little and you don't think they'll last for an hour long session, then mini sessions are totally the way to go!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And mini's don't have to be a family unit-- they can be with friends, individuals, couples, or even a product shoot or headshots! They're very versatile and we do a lot of them each year!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let me know what you're looking for and we'll find the best session for you! We do have special mini-session dates October 3-4, and November 8 + 14, but can do other dates, too!
Dillon is getting married today!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dillon (and Elizabeth) are so dear to our hearts. He was still in high school when we first met (while working at Chick-fil-A!), so we've had a front row seat to watching him grow into an adult. When we added video to Fowler Studios, Dillon was filming with us at that very first wedding, and every wedding after that for years! We couldn't be happier for him and Elizabeth!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let's get to the point... if you swipe far enough, you'll see a senior photo that literally feels like a LIFETIME ago. On the way there, you'll see some cool Dillon moments in between.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We once had a wedding where the unity candle wouldn't light. At all. The wind kept blowing, the song kept playing, and finally they requested help and Dillon brought the magic! Don't worry, the couple is happily married with the most adorable son now!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I once arrived home at midnight after a particularly long wedding day to confetti and a 'Welcome Home' sign from Dillon and Josh. I was shocked, to say the least!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I can't tell you how many bridesmaids asked him out over the years, but in the end, Elizabeth stole his heart and we can't wait to watch them tie the knot tonight!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I never thought I'd be wearing sweaters and snuggling under blankets in 70 degree weather, but here we are and I'm ready for it! I set out pumpkins and mums on the porch and none of them have died yet!! The pumpkins are fake, so my odds are good there. ;)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you still wearing shorts, piling on the blankets, or just maintaining the official 2020 uniform of leggings and a t-shirt?
Mini-Sessions are here!
October 3 + 4 at Fort Monroe
November 8 + 14 at Sandy Bottom Nature Park
$200 for a 20 minute mini session + the edited digital images with a print release
It's really that simple and straightforward! Let me know which date works best for you!

Double tap if this cutie brightens your Tuesday!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I photograph newborns, it's all about getting that one second of a smile in between all the other adorable things they do. Journee was so precious, and absolutely loved a tight swaddle!
Baby snuggles!!! Man it's something I took for granted before COVID. Miss Evelyn is so loved by her amazing family. And my kids are begging to babysit already.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I photographed her parents getting married, I was there when her daddy came home from deployment, family photos and maternity photos... but I have to say, baby snuggles are a special kind of session!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I love it when kids really get in their groove. I've been photographing this family for several years now and this time little man was totally prepared with cheesing and yoga poses! He even set up several of his own locations. <3 And those are my very favorite things about family sessions- photographing those real and true personalities!

An oldie but a goodie! 4 years ago I photographed Jenny + Ty's family engagement photos, then their wedding (the very first wedding EVER @thehistoricpostoffice!). This year I took some photos in the same spot with two rambunctious and oh so adorable new additions to the family!
Swipe to see a few throwbacks!

☑️ Major family health crisis
☑️ Change of minister
☑️ Rain for the entirety of your wedding day

Janelle + Shaun have been through absolute insanity these past 7 months and I think that means their marriage can withstand anything!

One of my favorite things about Fort Monroe is that as the sun fades, you can climb on top of the fort and have a second sunset all over again!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The one thing 2020 has given us is PERFECT fall weather here in Virginia, so if you're looking for a photo session, now is the time!

When we added video to Fowler Studios, Dillon was filming with us at that very first wedding, and every wedding after that for years! After witnessing allllll those weddings together, we are so pumped to share HIS wedding with you today!
Dillon + Elizabeth, you are incredible and kind people, and we’re anxious to watch the two of you build a lifetime of memories together. Congratulations!
If you know Dillon, make sure to give him a shout out in the comments!
Recognize these cuties?!

Mini-Sessions in Downtown Hampton are some of my faves! There's such a huge variety of locations! There's the historic area with cobblestone streets and beautiful trees, brick sidewalks, the old court house, the Air and Space Museum, the marina, other waterfront areas, and let's not forget the huge mural on the back of The Historic Post Office.

Megan + Jimmy had to reschedule their wedding because of a hurricane, which is how I came to be their wedding photographer. Now they're having a baby in a pandemic, so I'd say their lives are right on track.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Swipe to the end to see the card she gave him with her positive pregnancy test. I laughed so hard!

Family photos in 2020? Bring a mask for each family member to wear for a photo. Definitely something we want to remember from this crazy year!
#2020 #mask #facemask #posingtips #family #quarantine
Another COVID wedding in the books! This is our 6th wedding since March and each is so unique and different. Madison + Tyler moved their wedding to next year, but decided to still get married on their original date with just their parents present.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hats off to everyone planning a wedding these days. They're literally having to re-think every single aspect of the day, from when to wear a mask, whether to add video, have a zoom call, or just to cancel altogether. Decision fatigue is hard enough during a wedding, and 2020 has taken it to the next level!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What are your favorite color combos for fall sessions? We're doing our family photos this week and I'm at such a loss of what to wear! I LOVE how the Nesbitt family used this rust/navy color combo in their wardrobe! No one was matchy, yet they all paired together perfectly! #goals⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Don't pass out, but I updated our blog! Remember our blog- a relic of old??
Okay, so that's dramatic, but we seriously haven't posted any blogs since the pandemic started!
Today we share a behind the scenes look at 2020, which was obviously WAY different than years past! At any rate, check it out pretty please? Link in bio.

Don't pass out, but we actually posted on the blog! It's all the wild and crazy behind the scenes from 2020, and I promise it's not what you're expecting at all!

She loves rainbows and her mom thought this was the perfect dress to give hope this year, and also give a nod to her love of rainbows. I couldn’t agree more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s to an amazing 2021! The thing is, 2020 made us stronger. We all went through something (a lot of things) that made us persevere. And yet here we are. Let’s take on 2021 and whatever it brings our way!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

My top 9! Family always hits my top 9 hard and I love that! For the first time in awhile I have some of my actual photos on my top 9 too! And I have to say it’s satisfying to see a reel on there since I spent WAY too long working on that one! 🙌
#top9 #topnine
Swipe to see reality. 🤣 we decided to forego matching jammies this year since we don’t wear them much afterwards. So we all chose jammies or a special shirt we wanted and called it a day!
Merry Christmas!!
Ummmm we are a GOOD looking bunch!!! I share pictures of our family all the time, but today I share our work family with our sister company @armalooinc!
Merry Christmas everyone. We are truly thankful for all the ups and downs this year. Thank you for being here for us!
😍😍 A snowy engagement session in wetlands? Yes!!!!
