Who wants a session at this gorgeous poppy field?!? 😍😍😍

🇺🇲✨️🇺🇲 Poppies are bursting open after all the rain and now warm temps! ✨️

📸 Walking trail and photo opportunity coming soon!

The field is currently too wet for public visitors, we will update with additional open details as soon as possible.

🇺🇲 We unfortunately missed Memorial Weekend but what is not to love about the beautiful red and Blueridge Mountains in the distant?!

Maternity Session | Morris

There’s something really special about photographing a growing family in a field full of peonies — soft evening light, little bursts of laughter, and kids who would much rather run through the rows than sit still. The sweetest kind of session. It was beautiful and it was magical.

Birthday Session | Benjamin

Each year convincing my son to take his birthday pictures keeps getting more and more difficult. BUTTTTTTT he did them for me- even if they are just at my house. Happy 8th birthday to the one who made me a mama! I am so incredibly proud of the person you are becoming. Now if I could just figure out how to slow time down. The days are long but the years are so, so short. Happy birthday to my not so little anymore buddy! You are loved.

Family Session | Floyd

Ahhh my soul so needed this session! I love creating space for families just to simply be together. It always creates the most timeless photographs. In this case documenting families exactly as they are- boys full of movement, full hearts, and parents soaking in every moment- everything a childhood should be.

Cressview 29 hosted us at their beautiful home for this session and it was stunningly perfect.

Birthday Session | Andie

I couldn't let the night end without wishing my oldest daughter a happy 6th birthday. Andie is my tomboy, fiercely competitive and 100% a clone in personality and looks of her daddy. I just adore this girl more than words can say and am so proud to be her mama. My Andie Belle, you are loved more than you will ever know. 💕
