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!

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.

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!
