Each year, Elisa and I collaborate on her family photos and she simply comes up with the best ideas year after year. We’ve done everything from at-home sessions in pjs, a backyard session, a session at a nearby park, and this year, we headed to a a spot that has become of a favorite of […]

It’s always a treat & honor when another photographer reaches out about photographing their family. Ashley is a wonderful photographer herself, and I’m so grateful we were able to connect this summer for their family session! We spent some time exploring Monticello Trail, and I love how every session I schedule here feels so unique […]

I’ve had the honor of documenting Ashley & her family throughout so many sweet seasons of life, and now that she has officially welcomed their newest addition, I wanted to share some of their family session earlier this fall. As summer faded into fall, we chose to document this season in their family around their […]

You may recognize this sweet family from over the years, as Brandy is a dear friend from high school. I had the joy of photographing her wedding back in 2015, and fast forward 3 years later, we had our first babies on the same day. It’s a fun fact that just never gets old. Add […]

On a clear summer day, I met Heather and Dash as they got ready together at the cottage at Early Mountain in Charlottesville. Long before the pandemic became a part of life, Heather & Dash planned a small elopement ceremony alongside their fur babies. Boy, were they ahead of the curve. As time marched on, […]

It brings me so much joy when wedding clients become family clients as they celebrate such beautiful milestones. Drew & Jesslyn married while I was pregnant with Eisley, so it’s fun to see our milestones come full circle as I’ve photographed their son’s first year of life. Wyatt celebrated his 6 month milestone this summer, […]

It’s hard not to think just how much has changed in such a short period of time. It’s a bit of ringing noise at this point, since we are all swimming through the ever-changing landscape of “normal,” but it still leaves room for reflection! Maggie & Henry booked with me the week I returned from […]

One of my most popular family collections is my baby’s first year collection that includes 3-6 sessions over the first year of your baby’s life. You’ll hear it a million times, but they really do grow up so fast. And whether you want to or not, your heart will ache a little looking back at […]

It seems so odd to post sessions pre-COVID these days. It’s amazing to relive a session and think just how different our world looked just a few short months ago. Nonetheless, I can’t help but smile when enjoying these photos of this dear family. I first photographed Kate & Mark for their engagement session years […]

  One of the main questions I get when planning family sessions  is “where?” Rightfully so…there are many options to choose from. And, as an extra layer of precaution, I’m scheduling sessions outdoors, so I wanted to share a few of my favorite locations for family photos in Central Virginia! ________________________________________________ 1. Your Home! I’ll […]

Oh how our world has changed, and oh how our inboxes have been slammed full of responses to the current pandemic. Though the last thing I want to do is to add to all the noise, I wanted to address what sessions will look like for the near future, as my clients’ safety and comfort […]

The tenderness of welcoming a brand new little one home isn’t lost on me. The fragility of a newborn baby, along with parents who are walking through an incredibly huge life change and the fragility of the emotions that come into play. A healing mother, a brand new bond between family members, the stress, the […]
