With a full fall calendar, I’ve been a bit slower getting to blog sweet sessions from throughout the year! I’m excited to share this sweet family’s newborn session from earlier in the year – can you even handle how sweet this little man is?  And those adoring looks from his big sister?! Newborn sessions with […]

A sentiment I’ve heard among mamas recently is that their older kiddos simply aren’t interested in family photos and how it’s just not as easy as it used to be to have family photos made. And while I completely understand that convincing kids as they are older to take part in family photos can be […]

This little lady turned one, so we celebrated with her milestone portraits and boy did we luck out with the perfect evening! The weather was perfectly comfortable and the light was that perfect autumn light as the sun set over the mountains. We chose this sweet location in Charlottesville and it’s a new favorite! It’s […]

If you’ve been following along the last couple of years, then you’ve most likely seen this sweet family pop up on my feed and blog a number of times. We first worked together the November after we moved to Charlottesville, and it’s been a match made in heaven ever since! This family has welcomed me […]

Though we are very much in the thick of fall, I still have so many sessions to share from late summer and early fall! I’ve worked with this sweet family for the last few years during mini sessions and I was thrilled when they reached out about a full session this year! We planned for […]

Saying goodbye to a home you’ve loved is such a layered experience of emotions. Though there is excitement in making a new house your own, there will always be memories that live within the walls and spaces of the home you’ve come to love. Whether that’s the playroom that was always full of life, the […]

Every now and then, I get to photograph extended families and it’s so fun to see the whole family together and to watch their connections to one another. How mom and dad interact with their children, how grandparents interact with grandchildren, and all the in-between. There are always extra laughs to be had, especially after […]

Fall is well-known as the most popular time of year for family photos – and for good reason! It’s one of the most gorgeous times of year here in Charlottesville, the weather is nice and temperate and the lovely golden light never ceases to amaze me. Since it’s so popular, I figured it was to […]

Can’t you just feel the joy? The joy of welcoming your long-awaited child. So many months of growth and so many months of waiting, yet it’s still a whole new beginning. I love when new parents welcome me into their home as they’ve just welcomed their child, the whole home is buzzing with excitement, even […]

Documenting families as they welcome their first child is such a treat, as so much transformation happens in that first year, but really it’s only the beginning. Then, to have the honor of photographing families as they grow and more sweet babies is something I’ll just never tire of! This family welcomed me to document […]

I just love how small our community & world can feel sometimes. One of the joys of this work I get to do is getting to see families grow, while also meeting lots of new families in the midst of their dearest seasons. This sweet family reached out to me earlier this year as they […]

When Jeremy and I were in college, we wore out every Dave Barnes album that was out. And on a random craving for some of his music the other day, I listened to one of his more recent songs, “We’re Gonna Miss These Days.” Cue all the tears. “Half heard conversations We only get halfway […]
