My mom, my daughter, and me | Personal

I’ve never been the mushy type.  And when we found out four years ago we were having a baby girl, I got a bit of a bewildered look in my eyes.  Sure, my favorite color is pink, but I’m not much for princesses and stuffed animals.  My favorite Disney Princess has always been Pocahontas.  Honestly, […]

The Switzer Family | Sandbridge Family Vacation Photos

Large families have a special place in my heart, so when the Switzer family contacted me about a large family session, I was all about it!  Once we got to Little Island Park in Sandbridge, it turned out to be the most beautiful day with perfect weather.  All thirty five family members were friendly, easy […]

The Ubele Family | The Family Project | Yorktown Beach Family Photographer

I’ve been blessed to know the Ubele’s for 4.5 years now, and worked for them for 3 of those years!  Besides being amazing friends, they hold a special place in my heart because they have supported my business since the first day I met them.  They knew I had just moved to Virginia and was working […]

The Mamot Family | The Family Project | Yorktown Beach Family Photographer

This was my third time working with the Mamot family and I absolutely love them!  For the family project, they decided to include Ashley’s parents in the session, which I think was a perfect choice.  Often, the only picture grandparents or great-grandparents get with their grandchildren are candids while sitting on the couch.  The focus […]

Tim + Danielle + Charlie | The Family Project | Yorktown, Virginia Family Photographer

Tim + Danielle were among the first people we met when we moved to Virginia four years ago.  They were in our first community group at church, so every Monday night we’d meet for snacks, Bible study, and good conversation.  Over the years we see each other less and less because we live a good […]

The Yearick Siblings | Maymont Park, Richmond, Virginia Family Photographer

Living eight hours away, it’s rare that I get to photograph friends from high school; but lucky for me, Jonah + Kelly live just an hour away in Richmond!  Chelsea, Jonah, and I were all 2 years apart in school and spent many a band trip together!  Jonah, Kelly, and I were also all three Math […]

The Chubrick Family // Yorktown Family Photographer

The Chubricks hold a special place in my heart.  When we first moved here four years ago they hired me to take family photos for their daughters first birthday.  We had just moved 8 hours away from all our clients, and were gradually rebuilding our business here.   Every year they called again, and then when […]

Let it Snow! // Mini Session

Snow is so unpredictable, and maybe that’s why we all love snow pictures so much!  You can’t plan them in advance, and it’s much more difficult to control the outcome of each picture, so they’re pretty rare.  But yesterday?  Oh everything just lined up perfectly!  I posted on Facebook that we could do fun snow pictures […]

The Lancour Family // Newport News Family Photographer

I. Love. This. Family.  They are hilarious.  And the daughters are tiny little mixtures of their parents.  Usually one sibling is the quieter one, or the more serious one, etc.  But here?  Nope.  They’re both bursting with personality.  Don’t believe me? Just check out the last image in this post! And?  These two daughters look […]
