Every couple I get to work with at Big Spring Farm in Lexington, VA has this incredible admiration for their family, whether it be family by blood or endless time spent together. Bethany & Andrew fit that vision perfectly as their story was one many years (about twenty years!) in the making…dating back to their time […]

Can you believe it’s already time for mini sessions?! I’m usually summer’s biggest fan, and though I’m not ready to say goodbye to summer, I sure am looking forward to fall this year. Cooler temps mean even more outside time and endless walks in the mountains. It also means it’s time for your annual photos! Whether […]

My sweet friend, Ashley Cox ( a phenomenal photographer herself!), told me she was expecting a few months after we announced we personally were expecting and what fun it was to experience that season together! She and Kelsey decided to keep the gender of their child a surprise, so it was such a fun announcement […]

Jess & John celebrated their wedding day with a quintessential Charlottesville wedding. These two first met through their time together in the Fellows program at Trinity Presbyterian Church here in Charlottesville, so it was only fitting that they would marry in the very same church. And in case you missed it, John proposed to Jess […]

My favorite part of my job is that I get to meet so many people and document so many different stages of life. I first heard of April through Britt Davis, who you’ve seen grace the blog many a time with her beautiful family. April had created this gorgeous piece for Britt’s son’s nursery and […]

On a lovely day in May, Emmarie & Hugo married in the sweetest intimate ceremony at The Market at Grelen. I didn’t get the chance to meet these two before their wedding day, because funny enough, I first talked with Emmarie the day Eisley was born! (No, I wasn’t in labor, I actually didn’t go […]

My cousin, Lisa, has always had an incredible sense of style. She’s actually the first person to ever introduce me to the gem that is Anthropologie (if you’re reading, Lisa, I still have the very first pair of Anthro earrings you gave me for Christmas one year and they are still favorites of mine!). Well, […]

One of the best parts of doing a first year collection is delivering gorgeous heirlooms at the end of the first year. To see a child’s growth and development all in one place in print will never grow old. Included with every first year collection is an Heirloom Box or Heirloom Book. (In case you […]

I first met Jess through my husband, as they both work together at Journey Group in Charlottesville. What’s funny is I saw John at a gathering or two for the company, but since the company parties can be quite large and entertaining, I never got the chance to officially meet him until their engagement session! […]

I did a poll on Instagram earlier this spring, and I heard a resounding “YES!” that you all wanted some summer mini sessions this year, so I’m making it happen! The image below shares a bit about the sessions, but the info is below as well. There are only 5 spots available, and I’d love […]

You may remember Kat & Stu’s gorgeous fall wedding at Berkeley Plantation last fall. Their day was full of vibrant jewel tones and colonial charm. They married at Wren Chapel in Williamsburg, VA and then had their reception under the stars at Berkeley Plantation. They chose an Heirloom Box as their heirloom, and it matched […]

Oh, the joy of watching a child grow. Now that I have a little of my own, I’m more in awe of how quickly they grow each and every day. I constantly find myself thinking ” she’ll never be this little again” and I simply want to soak it up. That’s why I find it […]
