The More Burgers the Better Editorial Photo Shoot
By Jada Parrish
Cheeseburgers are basically the greatest thing ever. The only other comparable is really french fries. So what could be better than a shoot filled with cheeseburgers + french fries?! We wanted to do a shoot referencing indulgence. Pretty much everything is ok in moderation, but as soon as we let ourselves dive too deep int...
Monochromatic Blue Bed Room Photo Shoot
By Jada Parrish
We are on a mission to build 100 sets and do 100 shoots this year. Well, welcome to shoot #2 - The Blue Bedroom. This was the first set where we began playing with forced perspective. We photographed some of this using a 24mm tilt/shift lens to create the illusion that the headboad was larger and the bed was further a...
Edgy Bridal Boudoir Photo Shoot
By Jada Parrish
Boudoir shoots are seriously the best! I always compare it to a grown up version of dress up because you get to step out of your comfort zone, get glammed up, and be another version yourself for a couple hours. We jam to fun music and try all sorts of flattering poses. It's fun to see yourself in a new light. Kristen total...
Floral Inspired Colorful Boudoir Session
By Jada Parrish
When a florist does a boudoir shoot, it better be filled with bold colors + lots of flowers! Sarah is the co-owner of Olivera Floral Design, and she can seriously rock the flower game. Everytime I see Olivera's work I am blown away by the amount of color and texture they bring to their arrangements. We wanted her session t...
Barcelona Portrait Session in the Gothic Quarter
By Jada Parrish
Barcelona is one of mine and David's favorite places. I've been four times and each time I discover some new aspect of the city that makes me fall in love with it all over again. The landscape reminds me so much of the California coast because you have a view of the mountains, the city, and the sea. It is breathtakingly gor...
Richmond Virginia Family Photos with Adult Children at Byrd Park
By Jada Parrish
Most people make a point to have family photos taken every year when their children are young, but once they hit middle school and high school family photos pretty much become nonexistent. It's hard to get grown children with busy lives all together for a family photo! In my own family, the last time we took a formal famil...

By Jada Parrish
I'm still on a high from our trip to California last month. With all that sunshine, poke, and bech views how can you not be happy?! One of my favorite parts was just getting to shoot somewhere new. The rocky beaches of malibu are so photogenic and my mind was going crazy with ideas.  Zoe moved out to Los Angeles a few...
Lisa's Professional Headshots
By Jada Parrish
One of my new year's reolutions was to up my headshot game. I not only want to take beautifully lit, professional headshots, but I also want my client's personalities to shine through. So it only made sense for me to start photographing the people I know best. This is my mom. She's the most beautiful person I know bot...
Griffin's Senior Photos at The Potterfield Memorial Bridge
By Jada Parrish
I can hardly believe Griffin is a senior! He is the son of two of the teacher's at the high school David and I went to. We both remember Griffin from when he was 5 years old running playing Star Wars, and now he's 6'2 and about to graduate from high school!! It's crazy, and it makes me feel REALLY REALLY old. Well, Griffin...
Fun Family of Four Fall Photos at Libby Hill Park
By Jada Parrish
Whenever we have clients who have come back to us for shoots multiple times, we call those our forever clients. I always love shoots with forever clients, like Haidy + John, because the connection is already there, and you really can just pickup where you left off. Plus it's so much fun to get to watch their family grow! Th...
