Happy Father’s Day to all the dads carrying the weight (and the kids!) with a smile ❤️

This moment right here—two boys hitching a ride on dad’s back, pure joy and giggles—says it all. The strength, the playfulness, the quiet love that shows up every single day. Grateful to freeze these real, beautiful connections through my lens.

Tag a dad who deserves all the celebration today! 👏

So good to be back! 🤍

I spent some much-needed time unplugged, catching my breath, and soaking in quality moments with the people who fill my cup. There is truly nothing like a little time away to make you appreciate the beautiful chaos of everyday life.
However, coming back to my desk feels just as sweet, especially because I’ve been busy behind the scenes putting the finishing touches on some big updates!

✨ The new and improved Graceful Perceptions website is officially live! ✨

I wanted a digital home that truly reflects the heart, warmth, and stories behind the images we create together, and I am so incredibly proud of how it turned out. (I’d love for you tell me what you think! ---> https://www.gracefulpics.com/)

While I was away at Yellowstone, I captured so many moments that I just couldn’t keep to myself. I’m thrilled to share that I’ll soon be offering a limited run of fine art prints from my trip for your own homes—keep an eye out for that shop update coming very soon!

And since we are celebrating new chapters... it’s also that time of year again! Voting for Best of C-Ville is still open. If I’ve had the honor of capturing your family’s milestones or your story this past year, I would be so deeply grateful for your vote under the Kids & Family photographer category.

Thank you, Charlottesville, for always letting me into your lives and trusting me with your memories. It’s good to be home!

Still floating on a cloud from the nomination news! 🥹✨

I am so incredibly grateful for this community and the beautiful stories I get to tell through my lens.
Before the next busy chapter begins, I’m taking a little time to step behind the scenes so I can come back refreshed and ready to capture more joyful, connected moments like this one. 🤍

To all of my wonderful clients and friends, I want to let you know that I will be officially out of the office for the week, returning on Monday, June 15th.

I will have no access to my email during this time so that I can fully unplug, meaning I won’t be answering messages or inquiries until I’m back. Please know that connecting with you all means the world to me, and reviewing your messages will be my absolute top priority the moment I am back at my desk!

Thank you so much for your endless support, patience, and understanding. Have a beautiful week, and I can’t wait to get back to capturing your stories next week! ✨

I’m feeling profoundly grateful and honored today.

I’ve just learned that I’ve been nominated for Best Family Photographer in the 2026 Best of Charlottesville awards.

Having lived in Charlottesville my whole life, I’ve dedicated my career to engaging the community with heart and excellence in family photography. It’s a privilege to document the stories that make our community special — first smiles, growing families, golden hour moments in the Blue Ridge, and the quiet connections that matter most.

This nomination is a powerful reminder of the trust families continue to place in me. Thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate me. To every family I’ve had the honor of photographing, your support has been the foundation of my work here.

Winning this award in 2024 was a dream come true. Being nominated again strengthens my resolve to keep raising the standard for meaningful, authentic family imagery in our city.

If you’ve loved our sessions and want to support local family photography in Charlottesville, I will be deeply grateful if you’d consider casting a vote for me when voting begins. Remember, you can vote once a day throughout the whole month of June! Whether or not I win, I’m committed to serving Charlottesville with the same passion and dedication I’ve always brought to this role. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your family stories.

Voting Link is in the bio!🙏🏼☺️💛

From vaccine line to mountain top “I do” — this one hits different.💍

Alison and David met shortly after Covid while getting their vaccines as fellow physical therapists. What started as two exhausted healthcare heroes chatting in line turned into the kind of love that feels written in the stars.

I first met Alison when she booked me for a couples session. Halfway through, David dropped down on one knee in front of their fur babies to profess his intentions of their future. To heard her say yes through happy tears is a memory I’ll never forget.

Fast forward to their mountain top elopement: just the two of them, the wind, the views, and vows that felt like the most natural continuation of their story. No big crowd, no stress — only pure joy and the kind of intimacy that makes you believe in forever.

So honored to have walked alongside them from the proposal photos all the way to their private vows at the top of the world.

Here’s to love that heals, grows, and chooses the mountains over the crowds. 🏔️💍

Alison & David — thank you for trusting me with every chapter. ❤️❤️

Happy Mother’s Day to all of those mama figures it out there. You are the super heroes that keep the world spinnin’! ❤️🙏...

Today's the day these two tie the knot! From the proposal moment when David got down on one knee to the vows they'll exchange today, I'm honored to capture their special journey. Here are some throwbacks to their engagement day! 💍📸🐶
