These are my personal photos that I have retained ownership of. They were taken for the previous listing agent who asked me to photograph this property.

This is simply the loveliest of properties, encompassing over 14 acres with superior elevation above the beautiful and sailboat depth Corrotoman River, in Lancaster County, Virginia. If you are reading this and have a realtor already, in another part of Virginia, I would still be delighted to assist you with the blessing and referral of your realtor.
As a professional photographer, I am also, often asked by other Estate Brokers to photograph their properties because of my attention to detail, architectural knowledge, artful eye and expertise regarding Historic and Estate Properties and their buyers.

Virginia is known for her dogwoods so much so that it is the Commonwealth’s state flower. In full bloom with their brachts unfurled, they are truly Exhuberant Icons of the Spring Landscape. I hope you will enjoy my article printed in the April/May edition of the House and Home Magazine.
My husband picked these Lilacs for me one evening after a long day, while up on the farm at Rexburg. He brought them home, where I arranged them in an elegant silver urn, so fitting for these regal blooms. Ahh. . .the pleasures of Spring.
Earlier this week, my work took me through Fauquier County and into Winchester. I am still in awe, looking back this week at the beauty that is Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, in the Spring.
It has been a cool but enchanted spring throughout our great Commonwealth, from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Chesapeake Bay!
The photo below is of a lovely pink dogwood in full bloom set against an elegant portico, in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley.
