It’s always the biggest honor when a friend asks me to photograph a special moment in their lives. I’ve worked with Jess for years and I was so excited to hear that she and Will were becoming parents and even MORE excited when she asked me to photograph her maternity images!! Jess is the BEST […]

The winter season has seemed long, y’all. I hate not being behind my camera all the time! But over the weekend I got a mid off-season break and was SO honored to capture such an important and special moment for Emily & Grant.  These two have such a beautiful and strong love for each other […]

One of the most special parts of being a photographer is capturing every moment from your life’s story – from wedding day to new home or baby, your anniversaries and your little one’s birthdays. There is nothing more rewarding than capturing memories that will be treasured by your family for generations to come. Take a […]

Happy Birthday to sweet Mila! I can’t believe this little girl is already one! It feels like not that long ago I was photographing Taline’s Baby Sprinkle !! Everything about this day was SO beautiful – from the party decor, the TWO gorgeous cakes to the love everyone there had for Baby Mila! I love that […]

How perfectly sweet is this family, y’all? I met these 3 at Green Spring Gardens last week for their family session and it was an absolute perfect night. This “fake” fall weather we’ve been having (we all know there’s bound to be a second summer at some point – this is VA!) has been giving […]

Oh, y’all. I captured the SWEETEST newborn session over the weekend. Kendall & Brett were absolutely beaming over the arrival of their sweet little girl, Dylan. There were so many times that these three (plus their sweet puppy, Goose!) completely melted my heart with their love for each other. I absolutely love capturing lifestyle newborn […]

I was so excited when Taline contacted me about capturing images for her baby “sprinkle”! (To be completely honest, I actually had to look up what a baby sprinkle was! But once I knew that it was just another name for a baby shower, I was SO excited!!) Taline and her husband are expecting their second […]

Y’all. Clearly, I’m having quite the love affair with Claude Moore Farm Park this fall and I’m totally fine with it. I just cannot get over how gorgeous it is! From the glowy light, the old buildings, the tall grasses, the lake… I just can’t get enough!! Ok, now onto this sweet family! The Nassif […]

The best part of my job as a photographer is meeting so different families and couples! I love getting to spend time with them at our sessions and learning more about them during our time together! The Hawley family was no exception!! They were such an amazing bunch to spend time with and I’m pretty […]

I absolutely love fall. There is something about the colors. The smell. The sunsets. The crisp air. Everything about this season is perfect. And we’re finally getting the fall weather we deserve! Just in time for this sweet family’s portrait session! Annie, Chad, Callie and Cooper were such a blast to work with! We visited […]
