There are so many photographers out there that tell you you need to niche down to one or two types of photography and be REALLY good at them to be successful. I’m not going to argue with that at all, I’m going to encourage it actually, but what no one talks about is HOW to […]

OHHHH man I am just dying over this session. A location with a field AND a beach?! This is the good life. This sweet baby boy was the absolute CHILLEST newborn I have ever seen!! He just hungout and went with the flow as we ventured around Terrapin Nature Park in Maryland. This family has […]

Another baby born amidst a pandemic, and another family that has handled such unprecedented times SO well! I am so glad we waited for VA to open back up a little bit to have our session in their gorgeous home – little Evelyn’s nursery is just SO cute! Big brother showed me all around and […]

It is not possible to remain calm and have ANY chill when you’ve just birthed twin newborns, have a toddler at home, AND IT WAS DURING A FREAKING PANDEMIC. OR SO ONE WOULD THINK. Turns out if you thought that (it me), you’re dead wrong. This mama and daddy were seriously so calm, cool, and […]

I have known this sweet family since they were a party of two… and now they’re a party of FIVE!! They are the sweetest (and maybe most model-esque?!) family and I just love to be around them. We met at the Agricultural History Farm Park and there were these beautiful tall grasses – perfect for […]

We are done having babies… but editing session honestly made me reconsider that decision for a minute ?? We spent just about an hour in Manassas, just before sunset. It’s easy to have a sunset session when your baby has just entered thew world and doesn’t have a bedtime yet ? Baby Olivia ate and […]

The curls. The kisses. The squishy cheeks. When going into a session for a new family of five, I tend to brace myself a little bit HAHA. There’s always some chaos just because of sheer number of people, but usually the children are all pretty little and are craving any new comer’s attention (as they […]

This baby girl was just absolutely precious, but her parents were almost more precious. I love when you can FEEL how much new parents love their new baby, just from walking in the front door. Baby had a little scare on the day of our originally scheduled session, so we postponed until the next week. […]

This new mama and daddy used to live in Northern Virginia, but relocated to Charlottesville for work before baby was born! OF COURSE I made the drive for these three, and couldn’t have been more thrilled to meet sweet baby C in just the first few days home from the hospital. This baby’s daddy read […]

Baby R made her debut into this AMAZING family and stole everyone’s hearts in the process! I loved mom and dad’s white, neutral master bedroom and loved how the focus really could be on this new family of three. It was summer and a bright sunny day, which made the light in their house just […]
