Capturing Beloved Memories

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 […]

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 […]

A classic spring maternity post up on the blog today! Virginia & Jonathan were the sweetest couple, and you could just feel how excited they are to become parents later this spring!  We met up at Bryan Park in the Northside of Richmond, Virginia for their maternity portraits. I loved how Virginia’s peacock-colored gown both […]

Everett’s newborn portraits were so special for me. You see, it was photographing his older brother, Ethan, that got me interested in newborn photography in the first place! When Ethan was born back in 2018, I tried taking his newborn portraits, but that was when I realized, it was so much more than just owning […]

I love winter. I love it for the fashion, for the activities (the Burns are big winter sports fans ;)) the holidays, and the weather (yes, I LOVE snow!) I also love that it’s another excuse to hold mini sessions.  I hosted this year’s holiday mini’s at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VMFA). I […]

For me, Autumn means cozy sweaters, big mugs of warm coffee, bonfires, colorful leaves, and fall mini portraits!! I love hosting mini portraits because I get to meet so many new families, as well as see returning clients from years’ past! Minis are a great excuse to document the latest stage in your family’s story. […]
