Before I dive into some of the reasons elopements are incredible, I do have to gush about the specific one featured here. During their celebration, Chris and Katy were so glamorous and effortlessly made their day feel like a classic Hollywood soiree. The elegant attire and impeccably designed home created an atmospheric panache, showcasing the […]

In home newborn portrait sessions are comfort – the comfort you feel when you smell a newborn’s head or wrap yourself in the coziest blanket. They’re a slice of life lived in a few hours, encapsulated for a lifetime. My favorite function of a newborn portrait session is storytelling. The story of a family, in […]

I don’t always recommend January for outdoor sessions. It can be extremely cold and gloomy out. However, this downtown Richmond winter engagement session proved me wrong! I hadn’t met Charleigh or Eric before but was excited to have this session together before their wedding this summer. Not only are engagement sessions great for providing photographic […]

Anyone who’s ever had a toddler knows that they are a pretty opinionated demographic. These little people rule their kingdoms with authoritarian precision.

As usual, I’m running behind on things. It’s 2017, and I’m embracing my lateness. So, la-dee-dah, I’m here writing my look back at 2016. It’s only January 6, people. At least I caught the fact that when I first wrote the previous sentence it said I was writing my look back at 2015. And thus, […]

I know, I’m pretty far behind to just now be writing my Halloween blog post. Oh, well. I’m making it happen anyway. I knew I wanted Anna’s first Halloween to be memorable. I’ve got a limited number of years where I get to pick her costume for her, at least without persuasion. So, it didn’t […]

This was my first time meeting this family, but they are super sweet! It was a bit of a blustery day, but they were all champs about it. I love shooting families with kids because you get to see this sparkle of personality come out when they’re all just hanging out and interacting with each […]

Let’s talk about photographic style and posing techniques. I’ve been wanting to write about this for a while. There’s a lot to say about this topic, so trust me that this is just the tip of the iceberg. This isn’t meant to be advice for photographers.

Honestly, I’ve been feeling a bit discouraged with myself lately. In this world of perfectly curated Instagram feeds, it’s certainly easy to play the comparison game. I’m guilty of it. Lately, I’ve been looking at these photos of strong, successful women and believing the lie that they are better than me. Someone else’s success does […]
