When I first met Shelby it was for her engagement session with her now husband, Jeff. We met for an outdoors session on the James in downtown Richmond. Both Jeff and Shelby love the outdoors so this location was not only perfect for their interests but it was special to them. 

I was thrilled that Shelby chose the wedding package that included a bridal portrait session. The bridal session really gives me an opportunity to get to know my brides and makes them much more comfortable and relaxed with me on their wedding day. I knew Shelby was going to make a gorgeous bride. She insisted on doing her session at my place in Bumpass. It was the time of year just before spring when everything was still brown and lifeless. I was a little worried, but when the day came for her session, it couldn't have been more perfect. The beautiful bride made everything come to life for her session and it resulted in gorgeous photos.
