Announcing New Travel Dates

August 28, 2018 in Travel, Photography

travel dates are to let you know when i'm going to be somewhere other than home (which for me is sweet beautiful Virginia) and have availability for additional bookings for photography work.
because while, yes, i totally can and will come to you for a session wherever you're located, if you see that i'm already going to be near you during a certain time it'd be more cost efficient to go ahead and book a shoot while i'm already planning on being in your area!
make sense?
plus i've decided in 2018 to offer my photo sessions booked during travel dates at a discounted rate!
what's not to love right?
for the latest travel dates announcements check out the blog tag! or my instagram story highlights.

Feel free to message me on Instagram or shoot me an email if you have any interest!

The Wild and Wonderful American Road Trip

May 24, 2018 in Travel, Photography

i don't remember the first time i thought about driving across the country.
there are many dreams that live inside of me that feel like they've just always been there. often i can remember various details and mile stones that attributed to their growth and permanence within me, but i don't always remember their conception.
the American road trip is one of those kinds of dreams.

(a related side note: after i wrote this whole post, i vaguely recalled writing about this dream years ago and after searching my archives, came across this from 2013. so, you know, there's at least one recorded mile stone for you.)

i think sometimes there is this unspoken expectation in our society, in regards to our dreams and the things we tell others we want to do. which is that for some reason they require justification by means of history and long-time desire and even a communicated "always" to validate them. i'm not sure why that is really. perhaps the drive to be different and one-of-a-kind and original. we didn't just see someone on instagram do that and now we want to, we are deeper and more thought out and planned than that. we wanted to do that before it was "cool".

all of that to say, it feels important to communicate the "i've always wanted to do this" tagline not as a way of validating my desire, and elevating it over anyone else's that may be similar, but more so to simply revel in, and celebrate, the finality of finally embarking and choosing action and motion in regards to this long-held dream.
a fact that feels important in more ways than one for me. many of which i am not able, nor will i try, to communicate here.

Travel Dates | New York City

August 20, 2015

So something that I've been introducing here on the blog lately is Travel Dates!
These posts will be little announcements of when I have travel dates set for places other than Richmond, VA and depending on my availability you can contact me and hire me for a photoshoot during my travels!

Because while, yes, I totally can and will come to you for a session wherever you're located, if you see that I'm already going to be near you during a certain time it'd be more cost efficient to go ahead and book a shoot then while I'm already planning on being in your area!
Make sense?
Plus, I've decided to, at least for the remainder of this year, offer my photo sessions booked during travel dates at a discounted rate!
What's not to love right?
There will actually be a section of the site specifically for Travel Dates, but I'm still working on that so until then you can check them out under the tag!

Currently I will be in New York City August 28th-30th

Feel free to comment below or shoot me an email to talk about booking a session!

Travel Dates | Europe

June 02, 2015 in Travel

I'm super excited to announce that I will be hopping a plane to EUROPE in two weeks!
This year has been a whirlwind of traveling and adventures and I've been loving every minute of i, to say the least. I actually can't really adequately express the excitement I have for this trip.
A post with some late night thoughts on that is probably coming soon...

But in keeping with the new travel dates announcements (if you don't know what those are you can read the explanation below), I wanted to let you know that if you live in Europe, or are traveling there at the same time as I am and would like to book a photo shoot, please contact me because I would so love to work with you!

I will be starting in Ireland, but I will be in Europe from June 15th-July 1st!

Or, if you have suggestions of things to do and places to go, I'm all ears for that too.
Feel free to comment below or shoot me an email to talk about it!

Travel Dates | Iceland

April 20, 2015 in Travel

I announced a while ago that I will be venturing to ICELAND at the end of this month and I can't even begin to express how excited I am about this trip!!
*Insert the whole being a little kid on the night before Christmas analogy here.*
This trip has been in the works, at least as far as dreaming and wishing go, for the past two years or so now. I can't wait to get a new stamp in my passport and new photos on my memory cards documenting the beauty and mystery that is Iceland.

SO I wanted to let you know if you live in Iceland, or are traveling there at the same time as I am, and would like to meet up and/or book a shoot please contact me because I would so love to meet you and/or work with you!

Currently I will be in Iceland from April 30th-May 8th

Or, if you have suggestions of things to do and places to go, I'm all ears for that too!
