“Her genuine personality, her ability to make you laugh and feel comfortable in front of the camera is awe inspiring. I can promise an exceptional experience from your first day and on, far from a service rendered. Casey delivers on quality images that capture your true memories. My husband and I would both highly recommend her for any occasion!”
I graduated from EMU with a bachelors degree in Photography. Since 2009, I’ve photographed hundreds of weddings and thousands of photo sessions. I have had the great joy of being published with The Knot, Capitol Romance, Borrowed and Blue, and a few local photography blogs. My photography career has taken me to California, DC, New York City, North and South Carolina, and Florida AND I hope to travel so much more! Along with some of Virginia’s most luxurious wineries, I have had the privilege of shooting weddings at premier wedding venues across the state. I can’t wait to see what’s yet to come!
Silhouette Portraits
Now offering silhouette portraits.
I imagine that years and years from now, someone will pick up an image such as this one. They'll hold it to their heart, and wish with all of their might that they could go back in time.
There’s a unique kind of magic that envelops you when you stumble upon a long-loved old photograph of a child, their innocent smile beaming brightly against the backdrop of a sunlit day. As you hold it in your hands, a wave of nostalgia washes over you, transporting you back to the moment that captured their unfiltered joy. The twinkle in their eyes and the carefree spirit radiating from the image remind you of simpler times, filled with laughter and boundless curiosity. Each detail, from their favorite toy clutched tightly in hand to the wildflowers blooming around them, tells a story of childhood wonder and the pure, untainted love that surrounded them. In that instant, the past and present intertwine, creating a timeless connection that is both comforting and uplifting, a gentle reminder of the beauty and innocence of youth.
Mini Sessions // Seasonal
A mini session refers to a shorter, more condensed photo shoot, typically lasting anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. These sessions are designed to provide clients with a quick and efficient way to capture special moments, often at a lower cost than a full session. Mini sessions are popular for family portraits, holiday photos, or milestone events, and are often scheduled on specific dates at designated locations. I usually offer mini sessions as part of promotional events, like seasonal themes or special occasions, allowing multiple clients to book back-to-back slots. The limited time encourages a more focused approach, capturing a few key images rather than a wide variety of poses and setups. Overall, mini sessions are a great option for those looking for quality images without the time commitment of a longer session.
Some of my past mini sessions included: Clothesline Minis at Still View Farm, Spring Minis, Fall minis, Highland Cow Minis
Full Photo Sessions // Visual Storytelling
Full photo-sessions are designed for those who want to invest in visual storytelling. I put great care into capturing a few picture-perfect posed and professional portraits and then we switch it up and I focus on all the candid and sort of “unplanned” moments and I even try to include some of the beautiful surroundings too for a bit of atmosphere. We shoot for up to 2 hours and you get to keep all of your lovely fully edited images with a print release provided. For evening sessions - purposefully planned during the best outdoor lighting i.e. golden hour - we shoot until we run out of light; or maybe we keep going who knows! I’ve been known to do a night shoot or two. My goal is to create several memorable moments for you so we laugh, we dance around, and we do whatever is necessary to make these photos engaging, relational, and memorable for you and your family.
Some of my favorite ideas: Hiking themed photo session (lets go find a waterfall), ice cream date themed photo session, light graffiti photo session, coffee date photo session, strawberry or pumpkin patch session, greenhouse sessions, or maybe even get messy and dare I say involve some paint?

So why book with ME?
I’ve been known to be a bit of a planner. I take the time to go over every little detail with you and I know all the best questions to ask! I can help you make the tough decisions or simply give you a few suggestions. I’ve been through this a time or two now. Plus, I’m in the middle of planning my OWN wedding so I’d be happy to share what I’ve learned and how we can make this a breeze for you and your fiancé. Ask me about my experiences shooting weddings and I’ll tell you what I’ve learned in the past 10 years and how to keep the day light and fun!
I believe in fun, engaging, relational, and comfortable photo sessions. I won’t let you stand there wondering what to do because guess what? That is what I’m for. My goal is to create a memory - a good one! So trust in my process and I promise we’ll end up with a result that you love.
