Winter is often a quiet time of the year for photographers, at least here in Virginia. The weather can be somewhat unpredictable. You never know if it will be cold or warm, rainy or sunny, but sometimes, the starts align and the late afternoon light is just extra magic. I’m not sure if it’s the way the light shines through the naked brown trees or if it’s the fact that after weeks of early sunsets and chilly days, seeing a golden glowy sunset is extra special. Either way, such was the case when I met up with Holly and Colin for their Maymont maternity portraits. 

This fall I attended a wonderful workshop, GATHER, with The Kindred Path in Richmond. I learned so much in just that one day and I am so excited to be joining them for another workshop this spring! If you haven’t already, read more about the morning session at GATHER, here!  Part two: Glowing garden family […]

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.

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!

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 […]
