Capturing Beloved memories

I have been wanting to attend a photography workshop for YEARS. They are such a great opportunity for gorgeous content and learning from other seasoned professionals. Most of the workshops I found were oriented for wedding professionals, or were too far away for someone who works full-time in a second job. When I saw the […]

September 5, 2022. It was a sunny, gorgeous day. Perfect for Virginia Beach Navy homecoming photos. Let me tell you more about it, below. When I am asked what my favorite subject to photograph is, I often say Virginia Beach Navy homecomings. For many, this brings up thoughts of high school dances and parades, but […]

We had the perfect evening in Virginia Beach for Lauren and Nick’s maternity portraits! It had been a gorgeous week of unexpectedly cool weather in Virginia – it was seriously like 78 degrees that day, in August! Of course the heat was back the next day, but at least we got their portraits done in […]

The best compliment you can give any photographer is to come back them year after year for your family portraits. It means the world to me to know that you love your portraits and that you enjoyed your experience with me! In the age of social media where imposter syndrome runs wild and free, it can be really hard emotionationally for creatives to keep going. But, this is what keeps me going day in and day out.

It was a cold January day when I met up with the newly-minted family of four for little Emmett’s newborn portraits, but the burnt orange and beige color palette that mom picked out for the family’s outfits made it feel so warm!

The newborn session of a blue + white lover’s dream! Anisha and Ethan were referred to me by a former client and they are both James Madison University Dukes, so I was so excited when they reached out! We started with Aidan’s family portraits in the master bedroom. It had gorgeous light and you know […]

I wrapped up summer 2021 with a sweet in-home newborn session. I met Morgan and AJ earlier in the summer to take some family portraits for Morgan’s parents! During that session, we took the opportunity to snag a few maternity photos for the soon-to-be parents! How sweet is Wyatt’s lake-themed nursery!? Big sister Shay was […]

Talk about fall perfection! I first worked with the Elliotts to capture maternity memories for Alyson when she was expecting her youngest, CJ. Since then, I’ve gone back to their lovely home to capture several special milestones for baby CJ. When Alyson reached out for some fall family portraits with their extended family and I […]

James Tanner’s newborn portrait session was simply magic! The lighting, the posing with big fur-brother Henry, it was all flawless. How sweet are these newborn portraits? They are perfectly timeless and classic. I know this family will cherish these newborn portraits for years to come. How sweet of fur brother Henry to even pose for the […]
