We're officially HOME, North Alabama!

After 10 years of military life taking us wherever the Marine Corps needed us, our family has officially settled back in North Alabama, and my photography business is officially open locally! 🤍

I specialize in:
🎓 Senior Portraits (my absolute favorite!)
🤍 Couples Sessions
👨‍👩‍👧 Small Family & Maternity Sessions

I'm a multi-published photographer who loves creating images that feel authentic, timeless, and a little creative (basically, the kind you'll still love years from now!)

To celebrate being back home, I'm offering:
✨$50 OFF any full session package for the first 5 people who book.
🌸 Plus, I'm giving away a FREE session ($250 value) all you have to do is find the pinned giveaway post and follow the directions!

I cannot wait to meet so many new faces and capture your stories. North Alabama...it's so good to be home. 🤍

I'm a Christian, military spouse, and mama to two wild and wonderful boys who keep life loud, full, and oh-so-sweet. My days are often spent homeschooling and soaking up all the joys (and chaos!) of motherhood, but when the sun starts to dip, you'll usually find me chasing golden light and capturing...

THATS A WRAP 🎉

Virginia, you will forever be a part of my story. I started my photography journey nearly 4 years ago. Just a girl, an old Nikon, and a prayer (also the cutest little hot Cocoa stand you ever did see - yes, that was my first mini session).

I’ve learned (and grown) a lot since then. I feel like all of my clients here have become family… some of you have been with me since before our youngest (our little extra chromie) was born. I could not have asked for better clients that turned into friends that turned into family. I am so grateful for everything. Y’all blessed our family in ways I will never be able to put into words.

My time here in Virginia is officially over and my family and I are heading HOME. I cannot wait to dive in and see where this little love of mine takes me.

Alabama - here I come!!

If you were on a paddleboat on the Tidal Basin this day... no you weren't 🫶

The most common question I receive at the end of a session is: "when will we receive our gallery?" and trust me - I want YOU to have your gallery more than you want your own LOL, especially when I just KNOW the session was fire. BUT - I also want to deliver exceptional work.

My current TAT is 10-14 business days and that is because I am working hard to not only edit your beautiful images (really just enhancing what is already there), but I am also working hard to remove any distractions (or in this case a paddleboat and an unsightly, muddy crack in the ground under my couple)

That being said... another gallery is arriving in a beautiful clients inbox this morning!!

Okay but… can someone say ⚡️whiplash⚡️?! 😅

Since my last big update, we were full speed ahead preparing to move our family back home to Alabama at the beginning of May… annnnd plot twist - we’ve officially been delayed!

Honestly, this is what happens when a military family tries to make plans… we make them, and then the universe (or in our case, delays with a Medboard 😆) says “that’s cute.”

While delays like this can definitely be frustrating, I’m choosing to focus on the bright side - and that means I get MORE time here with all of you! 🤍

It has truly made my heart so sad having to turn some of you away thinking we were leaving so soon… but now I get to continue capturing your beautiful families + seniors here in the NOVA area for a little while longer, and that makes me SO excited!!

So if you were hoping to book a session but thought you missed your chance… this is your sign!! Reach out! ✨

Now for the *slightly* sad part - we are still moving, just a little later than expected. Instead of early summer, it’ll be later in the summer and I’ll update y’all as appropriate. So our time here is still limited!

For now, Let’s make the most of it and let’s get y’all on the books!! 📸

✨ Books are NOW OPEN for MAY 2026 ✨

And to celebrate this little plot twist - when you inquire, mention this post and say “summerfun” for 10% off your session! ☀️

⚡️ Spring Creative Sessions ⚡️

A limited “Heirloom Package” Portrait Experience in four breathtaking locations!

This spring, I’m opening a limited number of creative sessions! These are thoughtfully planned, extended sessions created to highlight some of the most stunning outdoor locations in our area.

These are NOT free sessions, but they are being offered at a heavily discounted rate as I expand my portfolio to showcase these locations.

📸 Each session includes:

• Up to 1 hour of shoot time
• ALL of your best edited images included
• style guidance + curated inspiration

Locations:

📍 Ravens Roost Overlook - Blue Ridge Parkway

📍 Sky Meadows State Park - Delaplane, VA

📍 Great Falls Park - MD side

📍 Jones Point Park - Alexandria, VA

Selected based on location + vision, I am looking to photograph a mixture of:

maternity • couples • families • seniors

Because these are creative sessions, participants must:
• follow a provided style guide / wardrobe inspiration
• be comfortable with light posing direction using prompts
• agree to image use for portfolio, website, and promotional content

These sessions are designed to feel organic, elevated, and timeless - with movement, connection, and beautiful golden light.

Spots are LIMITED. Only one per location is available.

If you’d love to be considered, comment “SPRING” or send me a direct message and I’ll send over full details + pricing.

Let’s Chat about ✨ Newborn Sessions ✨

Q: What do I offer?

Unposed, candid, documentary lifestyle newborn sessions that focus on prioritizing genuine connections and interactions between you and your sweet babe.

These sessions involve zero posing to better focus on baby in their natural state, capturing genuine interactions using natural lighting in familiar surroundings.

Images will be candid in nature rather than posing baby or wrapping them.

Q: When can a newborn session be done?

Since there is no wrapping or posing involved, these sessions allow for much more flexibility in scheduling and can be done up to 12 weeks old depending on the desired look and baby’s development.

If you want to capture babes teeny tiny features with more sleepy faces, 7-14 days (or the “early days”) would be the timeframe you would want to schedule for.

Firs time mama and would like to rest and recover more before our session? No problem!
2-4 weeks is a great timeframe for a lifestyle newborn session. Babe is still super small and snuggly, but you’ve had more time to settle in and catch your breath. We will still be able to capture those sweet early moments like babes little yawns and tiny fingers wrapping around yours.

Looking for a more personality filled session? 6-12 weeks is a great time to do this. Babe will be more awake and more interested in the world around them. I personally love “older newborn” sessions because you can still capture all those precious details like you would in an earlier session (tiny feet, wrapped fingers, little lips), but in an older newborn we can capture more interactions between you and babe, sweet expressions, a yawn or 2, and maybe even a smile.

Ultimately, the choice is up to you.

This GORGEOUS session was done when this sweet little one was around 3 weeks 😍😍
