Grateful for the kind of life where I can hop on a plane last minute to NYC just to see Hell’s Kitchen 🎭 no stress, just vibes. I’ve worked hard for this kind of freedom and I don’t take it for granted.
.
Now who’s going to hired me to capture another intimate NYC wedding soon?!😁 I want to catch another show 😝

No dry eye in the church when Quineshia + Cedric said “I do” in front of family + faith. 💍 The vows hit deep, the love was loud, and the whole building felt it. Then they pulled up to the reception in a straight fairytale; horse + carriage escort through Portsmouth streets.

A wedding day that felt like legacy in motion. This ain’t just a moment, it’s a movement. Lock in for more love stories that remind you why we celebrate like this.

LaShawn & Larry’s wedding at @the_marble_room was all about movement, emotion, and timeless moments. Our team captured the essence of their day despite the rain; from the looks that said everything without words to the joy that carried through the night.

This sneak peek is just the beginning of a love story told in motion.

When your bride brings the vibes to the dance floor and nails the Chris Brown #itdepends challenge with her crew 💃🏾Meanwhile the groom just knows he married a star.

Wedding days aren’t just about the first dance, they’re about these legendary moments that everyone will be talking about for years. This is the kind of energy we live to capture!

Unforgettable, unfiltered, and full of joy. Who else is adding this to their wedding day bucket list?

When you realize wedding days are serious business 🤵🏻‍♂️👰🏾‍♀️

From the vows to the first look, Kamiyah & Austin had their game faces on and we were here for every second of it.

Behind the serious stares were moments of pure love, laughter, and magic.

Their day was a reminder that sometimes even the most joyful celebrations call for a little focus because forever is no joke. 😁

From sunset kisses at the VA Beach oceanfront 🌊 to “I do’s” at their alma mater UVA, these two brought ALL the summer vibes! Their wedding day was filled with love, laughter, and the perfect touch of Black excellence—our beautiful bride repping Delta Sigma Theta and her groom proudly an Alpha. We love a full circle love story: from engagement photos by the waves to a wedding weekend that felt like pure sunshine. ✨

Your wedding doesn’t have to be perfect to be unforgettable.

Take a breath. Let your hair down. Change into something comfy. Sneak away with your person. Dance like no one’s watching. Laugh until your cheeks hurt. Soak it all in. The real magic? It’s in the moments you feel most like YOU.

Capturing love in its rawest, most beautiful form. Every couple, every glance, every moment frozen in time reminds me how lucky I am to witness and preserve it all. It’s more than photography. It’s legacy, emotion, and connection. Truly an honor every single time.

💍
You don’t need a personal connection to a location to create timeless magic, just the right energy.

Just soaking in the beauty of love in every frame.

Some days are heavy. Business feels overwhelming, and you’re running on fumes. But hear this: you’re not behind—you’re building. Breathe. Reset. Show up messy if you have to, but show up.

Your dream is still worth it. You’ve got this. And you’re never doing it alone. 💪🏾

#CreativeEntrepreneur #dorabreauxphotography

A love story told in bold hues and timeless art.

This engagement session at the iconic Chrysler Museum was nothing short of stunning! From Jasmine’s red gown to Steven’s sleek black suit, every detail was intentional and elevated.

Engagement Tip: Choose a location that reflects your personality and wear colors that pop against the backdrop, it makes your photos unforgettable.

When elegance meets art, magic happens. Who’s ready to make museum-worthy memories?

#dorabreauxphotography

Wedding day tip: Don’t stress about perfection, focus on connection. The best photos happen when you’re fully present, not posing. I capture real love, real laughs, and real moments. Now booking 2026 weddings.

Of course I ran around like a chicken with my head cut off grabbing last-minute taco bar goodies for Devin’s last-minute shindig 😅 because how is my baby freaking 17?! I can’t believe it. He’s so focused, thoughtful, and growing into such an amazing young man. I’m SO proud of him and can’t wait to see all that the future holds. This post is late (yesterday was a whole time), but I know he knows how much he means to me.
💙
From his eye behind the lens as a dope sports photographer to his incredible acting chops—he’s just an all-around good dude. Happy 17th, Marshmallow!

Happy Birthday to my rock, my love, my hero 🇺🇸❤️ Even though you’re miles away in the Middle East, my heart is right there with you. This is your LAST birthday in uniform—retirement is around the corner and I’m so proud of all you’ve sacrificed and accomplished. I can’t wait to celebrate you properly when you’re home. The boys and I love you beyond words. Cheers to new beginnings, love, and a lifetime of peace. 🥂🎉 #HappyBirthday #MilitarySpouse #countdowntoretirement

#DBCouple @ladivak & Larry didn’t come to play—they pulled up to the Chrysler Museum looking like a whole mood. Classy, cool, and giving all the power couple energy. The museum was the perfect backdrop for their timeless engagement session, and we’re obsessed. Can’t wait for the wedding day magic!

Abby & Chad’s love story proves that sometimes second chances are sweeter—just like ice cream. They met through a mutual friend, but their first date? Let’s just say it didn’t go as planned. It was their second date—over ice cream—that sealed the deal. From rocky beginnings to a flawless “I do” at The Signet Center in Chesapeake, their journey is full of grace, laughter, and true love. Here’s to imperfect starts and perfect soulmates.

From “I do” to “we’re growing our crew,” it’s such a joy to witness our couples become parents. This Mother’s Day, we’re celebrating all the incredible women who trusted us on their wedding day and are now embracing motherhood with that same beautiful glow.

It’s an honor to document your love story—then, now, and always.

Wishing you a day full of love, light, and sweet memories.

Danielle + Stephan kept it real and focused on what matters most — the love, the people, and the moment.

Their wedding at @_venue4all in Yorktown was all indoors. No distractions, no fluff — just two souls locking in.

If you’re planning a wedding and stressing the little stuff… don’t. This is your reminder that the love is the main character.

Prep time is such an important part of your wedding day! It’s when we get to capture all those beautiful details you thoughtfully chose—from your dress to your invites, jewelry, and more. We’re like a fly on the wall, documenting the calm before the celebration begins. It’s also the perfect time to take a deep breath, reflect, and maybe even sneak in a quiet moment with your soon-to-be husband or wife. Don’t underestimate the magic of this part of the day—it truly sets the tone!

I grew up a quiet girl from the Bronx—‘80s, ‘90s, early 2000s. Always kept my head down, but hustle was in me early. I used to sell cakes, iced tea, and Kool-Aid outside our apartment from what my mama made.

Life took some wild turns—pregnant in college, joined the military, served 10 years, then got out to focus on my family and build something of my own.

No handouts. No blueprint. Just faith, persistence, and consistency.

Now I’m running a business with employees I get to pay every two weeks—and that still blows my mind.

I’ve got a long way to go, but I’m way further than I was. And every now and then I pause and think… it’s wild what can happen when you just keep going.

#BronxGirlMagic #QuietHustle #FromTheGroundUp #StillBeatingTheOdds

Wearing all the hats was cute… until it wasn’t. Running multiple businesses had me in permanent hustle mode—no days off (except when visiting hubby 😝), no peace, just vibes and burnout. But I finally took the advice I’ve heard 1,000 times: BUILD A TEAM.

So excited to welcome my new admin assistant + our shift leads to the crew! We’re leveling up, moving smarter, and making room for real growth.

Moral of the story? You don’t have to do it all alone.

Delegation is the new hustle.

Packing my bags not just for a trip—but for growth. As a biz owner, traveling to network, learn, or take on gigs is definitely want I suggest we all need to do! And honestly? I shouldn’t talk because this part is hard for me too. But staying stuck doesn’t build dreams. So here I am—nervous but showing up. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to go for it, this is it. Let’s get uncomfortable together.

Just a peek into my fun, busy, chaotic life—3 growing young kings, hubby stationed overseas, and running two full-time businesses. My kids crack me up with their takes on clients and business, but watching them soak up entrepreneurship is EVERYTHING. I do this to show them it’s possible—and I’ll always hype their dreams like I hype mine. This life ain’t for the weak, but it’s full of purpose, passion, and plenty of laughs. We’re building legacies over here, one hustle at a time!

Pulled up to the studio for a meeting… just for it to get canceled last minute. So boom—instant office reset mode activated. If I gotta be here, it might as well be cute, right? As a wedding photog + studio owner for the creatives, the vibe gotta match the hustle. Catch these random glow-up moments cause they keep me sane! 🤷🏾‍♀️🥰

Tips ⬇️

1. Dress to express. Choose outfits that reflect your love story—not just trends. Confidence always photographs beautifully.

2. Studio and scenic? Yes please. Don’t be afraid to mix in-studio shots with on-location magic. It’s your session—make it you.

3. Time it right. Golden hour gives that soft, romantic glow.
4. Pick a place with meaning. Your vibe shows best where your love feels real.

Don’t Skip Portrait Time on Your Wedding Day!

Your wedding day will be a whirlwind of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments—but don’t forget to carve out time for portraits! These are the images you’ll frame, share, and cherish forever. Setting aside dedicated time ensures you get stunning, stress-free shots without feeling rushed. Trust me, you’ll thank yourself later!

🎥💍 Elopements just hit different! 💕✨

No stress, no crowd—just you, your person, and a vibe. Peep this BTS from a dope Richmond, VA elopement—intimate, raw, and all about the love. Who needs a big wedding when you can do this? 👀🔥

Tag your boo if this is your kinda vibe!

💡 BRIDE & GROOM PORTRAIT TIP:

Slow. Down. ⏳✨ Listen, your wedding day flies by FAST, but the best portraits happen when y’all take a second to breathe, soak it in, and just be together.

🔥 Pro tip: In the middle of your portraits, pause. Hold hands. Look at each other and let it sink in—y’all really just got MARRIED! That real love + raw emotion? That’s what makes the magic happen. 📸✨

Tag your fiancé and tell ‘em, “We need this moment!” 💍👇🏾

A little luck and a whole lot of love! 💍✨

Michelle + Darius’s engagement session near the iconic Cavalier Hotel in Virginia Beach was set against moody skies, but just as we started shooting, the rain held off—giving us the perfect mix of dramatic clouds and romantic moments. Their love brought all the warmth, proving that the right photographer can make any day magical.

Planning your engagement session? Let’s turn your love story into art. 📸

✨ Behind the Scenes: Juan & Logan at The Historic Post Office ✨

Rain on your wedding day? No stress! The Historic Post Office has a beautiful covered front area, perfect for staying dry while still getting stunning shots. Pro tip: Always have a clear or stylish umbrella on hand—you’ll stay dry without blocking the vibe of your photos.

Planning your wedding? Let’s talk. DM “WEDDING” to book a consultation. 📩

Drop a ☔ if you’d rock a rainy wedding day!

Fifteen years deep, and love still moves like poetry. Through distance, through seasons, through every high and low—we stand. A love that’s built, tested, and still rising. When your marriage holds weight, the celebration of love is infinite. It’s not just one day; it’s every day, in every call, every laugh, every moment we show up for each other.

Happy Valentine’s Day to my forever love @deveronb2014 and to all the lovebirds out there. May your love be strong, intentional, and full of the kind of magic that lasts. ❤️

Being an entrepreneur is HARD. The late nights, the self-doubt, the loneliness—most people don’t see that part. They see the beautiful photos, the dream weddings, the curated moments. But behind the scenes? It’s exhaustion, sacrifice, and a constant battle between giving up and pushing through. Yet, somehow, that tiny voice inside whispers, “Keep going.” And so we do. Because the dream is bigger than the struggle. If you feel this, just know—you’re not alone. Keep pushing. Your breakthrough is coming. #EntrepreneurLife #WeddingPhotographer #KeepGoing

Alright, real talk—how do y’all feel about sneaking away during your reception for some indoor venue portraits or nighttime city shots?

I know the reception is lit, the drinks are flowing, and Auntie is about to battle the flower girl on the dance floor. But hear me out… stepping out for 15 minutes could get you some of the coldest portraits of the night. Dramatic lighting, city vibes, and a moment to breathe before y’all turn up again.

Are you down for the break or keeping the party non-stop? Let’s talk in the comments!

🎥 Ladies, it’s time to reclaim your balance in 2025!

Achieving work-life harmony isn’t a luxury—it’s a must for your success and sanity. Here are 5 steps to get started:

1️⃣ Set Boundaries: Protect your time—work hours end at a set time.
2️⃣ Prioritize Self-Care: Schedule “you time” like a non-negotiable meeting.
3️⃣ Delegate: You don’t have to do it all. Outsource or ask for help.
4️⃣ Plan Your Weeks: Time block for work and personal life.
5️⃣ Unplug: Disconnect to reconnect with yourself and loved ones.

2025 is OUR year to thrive, not just survive! Tag a boss babe who needs this! #WorkLifeBalance #WomenEntrepreneurs #ThriveIn2025 #757weddingphotographer #hamptonroadsweddingphotographer #veteranownedbusiness #blackfemalephotographer #virginiaweddingphotographer #blackgirlstraveltoo #bgwac #weddingphotographer #virginiabeachweddingphotographer #blackfemaleentrepreneurs #mompreneur #womeninphotography

🎥 We LOVE a good dip pose on wedding days!

It’s romantic, dramatic, and the perfect “WOW” moment… if you’re brave enough to attempt it. First comes the pep talk: “You got this, babe!” Then the trust test: “Wait, you’re actually gonna dip me?!” And finally, the execution: “NOT THAT FAR BACK!” 😂

Whether it’s a picture-perfect swoop or a hilarious almost-dip, it’s always a memory worth capturing. So, here’s to our fearless couples who trust each other (and me!) to make it magic. Would you try a dip on your big day?

🌟 New Year, New Boundaries, Same Dedication 🌟

As we step into this new year, I’m embracing a season of peace, protection, and purpose. It’s time to prioritize self-care, family, and the energy it takes to show up fully in both life and business.

This year, I’m committed to creating healthy boundaries that honor my time, my energy, and my personal space. Boundaries are not about keeping others out—they’re about preserving what matters most. 💖

To my amazing clients who have been understanding, kind, and supportive: Thank you. Your respect for my craft and my well-being means the world. You’ve made it possible for me to keep showing up with the love and creativity you deserve.

Whether it’s behind the camera capturing your special moments or providing a creative space for creative freelancers, I’m looking forward to a year of collaboration, growth, and intention.

Here’s to a gentle, mindful 2025, full of grace and gratitude. 🕊️
