I just love getting to watch little ones grow throughout their first year. I’ve always worked with a number of families each year during their baby’s first year, and now that I have a Miss Eisley, I truly know how quickly they change in their first year of life! It really is amazing to see […]

I first met the Mallorys a few months into living in Charlottesville. I had heard of this new wonderful coffee shop in Waynesboro, and I just had to try it out. I walked in and it reminded me so much of some of my favorite coffee shops in Nashville – I was immediately hooked! It […]

If you’ve been following along for a few years, then you’ve seen the adorable Davis family pop up a time or two. I’ve been so grateful to photograph their family year after year – this year, with their newest addition of Miss Parker! I’ve always loved photographing families, but to grow with a family is […]

I look back at Katy & Kevin’s engagement session and all I see is pure joy! What’s funny is, on the way to the session, a tree fell across the road so I had to turn around and re-route completely to get to the Market at Grelen. And though it had been a beautiful day, […]

I get to photograph this sweet family again this coming weekend, so I thought it’d be the perfect time to share some favorites from their newborn session! A few weeks after Natalie gave birth to Isla, they drove up to Charlottesville for their newborn session on a rainy summer day. It was a joy to […]

It’s funny people show up in different seasons of life. The incredibly talented Lauren of Lauren Emerson Events and I originally crossed paths while we were both in Nashville. I had reached out to her while in Nashville to connect over coffee or lunch some day, but for various reasons the timing didn’t work out, […]

Though fall has officially made it’s mark on Virginia, I can’t help but share this sweet session from this summer with the Castle family. Daisy had recently celebrated her first birthday, so they wanted to celebrate this season with a session at home. At-home sessions always are a favorite of mine for so many reasons. […]

Every time I talked to Nicole about their wedding day, she said “it’s going to rain, I just know it.” With an April wedding, the bet of rain can be quite high sometimes, but what’s less likely is a forecast of snow…and that’s just what these two got on their wedding day! But, among all […]

As we all very well know, fall is the most popular time of year for portraits. Rightly so! The golden light and colors of Autumn simply stun year after year, especially here in the mountains of Virginia. My calendar always fills up quickly with family sessions and engagement sessions and since the outfit inspiration I […]

One of my favorite parts about my job and my work is getting to tell such a range of stories…every couple and wedding I photograph is truly unique and instead of stuffing them into a pretty mold, I always aim to approach their wedding day in a way that feels genuine and true to them. […]

It’s always a joy to work with families year after year, as I adore watching children grow and their personalities come to life. You may remember the Bricker family from their super fun pjs & pop-tarts session last summer, and I’m equally in love with their session this year! When Elisa and I discussed their session for […]

Oh, how much can change in just a year. Last summer, one of my dearest friends, Brandy, and I were both expecting. She was due January 18th and I was due January 27th of this year. We both grew up in good ol’ Powhatan, VA and experienced so many of life’s biggest moments together. She was […]
