A little behind the scenes of this past weekend! What a busy but oh so rewarding weekend! My soul comes alive in the fall and seeing all my beautiful friends and clients this time of year! Wild to think I have taken every single one of these kiddos newborn photos 😍😍 what a journey! If you need me I’ll be in my editing hole for the unforeseeable future, worth it!

This weekend I got to meet the newest addition of this sweet family! And man was he the squishiest with the cutest thigh rolls!

I love that I get to go back and see all the sessions we have shot in their client gallery. I first started shooting their family photos in the summer of 2020 and now I got to capture their growing family with the addition of their baby boy! I feel honored when families continue to come back to document their family milestones and all the in betweens!

Can’t wait to share their newborn session but for now here are their maternity pics we got to capture before he made his debut at Libby Hill Park in Richmond!

I love traveling all of Virginia and exploring new areas so if you are interested in a session outside of Hampton Roads please message me!!

40!! I’ve never been big into birthdays but this one felt different and I wanted to document. As soon as I saw and work I knew I needed to make this shoot happen!!

Thank you Paige for letting me explore the other side of the camera in a safe and fun space! While I still prefer being behind the camera I was so proud that I pushed myself outside of my comfort zone to document such a milestone!!

Ready to see what this next decade has in store and making it forty-licious (my millennial self had to) 🎉

There are moments in life that leave a lasting imprint on your heart, and photographing Milo was one of them. From the second I met him, his gentle lovable spirit told a story—a story of loyalty, joy, and an unbreakable bond with his family.

Being chosen to capture Milo’s final moments was an honor I’ll never take for granted. These sessions are more than just photographs; they’re a sacred trust, a way to preserve the love, the warmth, and the irreplaceable connection between a pet and their family. It’s a privilege to hold space for such emotion, to freeze in time the soft grays of a muzzle, the familiar tilt of a head, and the quiet comfort of a paw resting in a loved one’s hand.

Milo, thank you for letting me witness your light. To your family—thank you for allowing me to be part of such a tender and meaningful chapter of your journey with him. These images are my small contribution to keep his memory alive, always.

To all the families who trust me with these precious moments: I carry your stories with me, and I am endlessly grateful.

Rest easy, sweet boy and tell Maggie I said hello. ♥️🐾

A little BTS bc let’s be real everyone likes being a little nosy. 🙋🏻‍♀️

This sweet girl has been in front of my lens since she was TWO - now she’s twelve and I am unwell 🤧. Moments like these remind me why I love photography: freezing time, telling stories, and watching little ones grow into who they’re meant to be.

After stepping away for a while following my father’s passing, I’m so grateful to be back behind the camera. I’m starting to look at the calendar and I’m setting aside dates to come to Annapolis this fall! I’ll be offering personality portraits (like this behind-the-scenes peek!) and family sessions.

If you’re in the Annapolis area and are interested in getting updated photos this year **comment your email below or DM me** to be first in line when booking opens.

Keeping the Mother’s Day train rolling as I mail off my mom’s card today. I tell her to never expect a card on time but to expect one nonetheless.

Growing up in a matriarchy meant the women weren’t in charge because they had to be, they just were. To the women who raised me.

And I can’t forget about all the fur moms! To the women whose “kids” only talk back in judgmental stares - ok children d...

And I can’t forget about all the fur moms! To the women whose “kids” only talk back in judgmental stares - ok children do this too…

To the masters of finding fur in places fur shouldn’t be, may your lint rollers be sticky and your vacuum never clog.

Missing Maggie a little extra today but these two psychos keep me on my toes and provide endless entertainment!

Happy Mother’s Day to the women who keep tiny humans alive (and let’s be real large humans too). To the moms whose love is the steady heartbeat behind every scraped knee kissed, every nightmare soothed, and every milestone celebrated - this is your day. Your love is the first home their hearts will ever know.

If your Mother’s Day gift was... a little underwhelming, let’s fix that! Skip the blurry photos and questionable gifts- book a *Mommy & Me* session instead! 📸✨

You deserve beautiful photos where you’re actually in focus and looking as amazing as you are. Those snuggles and giggles won’t last forever, but these photos will. 💖

**DM me to treat yourself - you’ve earned it!**

*(P.S. Partners, take note - I accept last-minute “I forgot” apologies in the form of bookings.)* 😉

*(P.P.S. The handmade cards and sticky finger art? Keep those. Those are the real treasures.)*
