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!

WILLIAM + TRACEY | YORKTOWN ENGAGMENTS | SACHEL SAMONE | LOVE & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

I absolutely LOVE capturing couples!! The love between the two of them, the joy…the laughter…the way they after a while, forget that I’m even there…I LIVE for those candid moments. From the first time I sat down with William and Tracey, I knew how much fun it would be to capture them. They are such […]

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

I’m not sure where to begin when it comes to Candace. When I first met her, she was in her U.S. Air Force uniform, had her hair pulled back and to be perfectly honest, I don’t remember anything she said. The only thing I remember is her laugh and thinking to myself “my goodness she […]

BEACH BABES | A MOTHER’S LOVE | SACHEL SAMONE | LOVE & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

When I first met Genieve, I caught myself staring. I mean…seriously, the woman is GORGEOUS. So when she told me she had two little girls, I thought to myself “oh goodness gracious, they must be as cute as button!” She may be a major in the United States Air Force and a certified Jiu Jitsu […]

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 […]

DEAR MOMMY | LIFE BEHIND MY LENS | SACHEL SAMONE | LOVE & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

Dear Mommy, Thank you. There are many times where I try to verbalize just how much I love and appreciate you, but most days, all I can come up with is…Thank you. You have singlehandedly shown me what it means to be a woman of God. Seriously, I’ve never met a woman so strong and […]
