I've been keeping journals since I was in the 3rd grade and I'm so glad to share some of my most intimate life moments with you here!  Here, you'll find inspirational and encouraging stories of me and other broken people like me. We are all jars of clay who have been afflicted in every way, but not crushed...struck down by not destroyed.  Here, you do NOT have the right to remain silent, so as you read, grab your favorite snack and drink and leave a comment...share YOUR story. I can't wait to connect with you in this beautiful safe space. 

welcome to my

journal!

BEAUTY PORTRAITS FOR DIONNE | VIRGINIA BEACH, VA

I don’t know where to begin with this beautiful woman here. She is the epitome of grace, strength and determination. I first met Dionne a few months ago when I was looking for a hair and makeup artist for a shoot and from the moment I met her, I liked her. Without knowing much about her, […]

MS. TIANA | COVER GIRL | VIRGINIA BEACH | SACHEL SAMONE | LOVE & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

I first met Tiana last year and immediately I realized just how naturally beautiful she was. With her petite frame and fiesty personality, I just knew I had to capture the woman she was. We began to coordinate her session and within weeks, we were getting together…ready to have a great time. I could tell she […]

VERSONA | MY LOVE FOR HAMPTON ROADS | SACHEL SAMONE | LOVE & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m what you may consider “a girly girl.” I adore heels, cute dresses (with pockets!!), shoes, hats…EVERYTHING. But when it comes to fashion, there is one thing I adore more than anything. Accessories. Necklaces, earrings, watches, bracelets, handbags, scarves with fabulous prints and patterns….I love how they can take my most simple t-shirt and jeans combo […]
