Capturing Beloved Memories

One of the first questions I am asked when chatting with an expecting family is when should I schedule our maternity portraits? Like most decisions with parenting, there is no simple answer, since every situation is different. However I do have some recommendations for timing for maternity portraits in Richmond, Virginia based on the many […]

This year, Christmas in July has inspired me to round up a few (or maybe a little more than a few!) of my favorite Richmond holiday family photos.

A few weeks ago we shared the exciting news that we are welcoming our first child this November! Life has been a whirlwind ever since we found out in late February 2023, but since making our announcement public we have received nothing but love and support and couldn’t be more thankful for our family, friends […]

Baby boy arrived in late May and we met at their home for his newborn portraits at just seven days old. I assumed such a young baby would sleep the entire time, but in fact he was awake nearly the entire two hours I was there! He knew it was his showtime and he didn’t want to miss out, and honestly I love how alert he is in these portraits, already making eye contact!

Spring was just around the corner when I met up with Emma and Woody for their early spring maternity portraits at Historic Tuckahoe in Goochland. The days were getting longer and some trees were already in bloom. It was a perfect evening! 

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. 

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.
