Though it’s been a year since I’ve been able to offer spring minis, I’m excited to be offering minis again this spring! My email list was first to learn about the sessions, but now I’m officially sharing with everyone. And this year, you’ll actually have two options, as I’m offering something new entirely – Motherhood […]

Today, I’m so excited to share a different kind of photo collaboration with my friend, Britt Davis. You may recognize this beauty, as I’ve had the joy & honor of photographing her vibrant family since 2016! As they say, “to know Britt, is to love Britt.” She has the warmest spirit with a gift of […]

Warm weather and sunshine in thick of winter? Yes, please.Only a few short days into the new year, we lucked out with 60 degree weather for this sweet family’s maternity and family session in Charlottesville. This radiant mama wanted to do one last session as a family of three, while they await for their second […]

I first met this sweet family through the church we were attending here in Charlottesville. We were both new to town, so it was sweet to find families in the same season. We hadn’t welcomed our Eisley yet, so it’s wild just how much has changed since we initially met. Between our families, we welcomed […]

If you’ve been following for any length of time, you may be well aware that I’m obsessed with Heirlooms…whether it’s a box of  your favorite prints, a statement gallery or that annual Family Heirloom Book. I believe photos are meant  to  be printed instead of dying a  slow death of  being lost on a hard […]

You may remember. this sweet family from their recent family session as Ashley was pregnant with sweet Afton…and you may remember  them from sessions throughout Porter’s first year of life! Well, they welcomed this little lady into their lives in the fall and I was honored to document their family during those first few weeks […]

After welcoming their son early in 2020 and then making a big move from NYC to Richmond in the middle of the pandemic, this sweet family was ready and excited to document their family of three. They wanted their photos feel a bit more casual and fitting to their family, while also tying in places […]

There really is nothing that can prepare you for bringing your first baby home, is there? Being welcomed into someone’s home to document this exciting season is such an honor, and my only hope is that the photographs we make together will tell a beautiful story of their family’s beginning for years to come! On […]

I almost decided not to write a “year in review” post this year. But it’s always a sweet and joyful reminder to look through my portfolio the year and see just how many amazing families I had the opportunity to work with. Each and every family brings their own story to the session and it’s […]

One of the greatest gifts of doing this work I love is getting to work with families each year. Not only do I get to see families grow (in so many ways!),  but I get the chance to. learn more. and more about each family each year. The connections between parents and their kids,  the […]

Getting ready for your family photos can be stressful…well, really, trying to get your family ready for anything can be stressful if I’m being honest. With toddler opinions, dirty diapers, accidents, stains on clothes, hangry kiddos, the obstacles can add up! This year, the Davis family was perfectly ready on time and ready to go, […]

Though at-home sessions are looking a bit different these days with Covid, I’m loving finding unique ways to incorporate a place that. has so much meaning to your family. This lovely family invited me to their home for their session, and we spent most of our time in the backyard exploring the garden they’d worked […]
