Capturing Beloved memories

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.

Sweet Eliza’s newborn portraits were taken in the middle of the a big heat wave in Virginia this July. It was toasty outside, so I was glad to be in the cool A/C for newborn portraits.

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!

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 […]

I first met Virginia and Jonathan for their maternity portraits back in April. They booked a bundled maternity + newborn package, so I knew I would get to meet their sweet baby Penelope soon! I visited their lovely Richmond, Virginia home for Penelope’s lifestyle newborn session. P’s big puppy brother and sister were so protective […]
