*its been 84 years*
No really, I have dropped off the planet and completely ghosted you all!

I've been taking an AMAZING business course, redoing my website, photographing allllll the weddings/sessions and of course doing all the mom things too!

But I interrupt my silence with this stunning family, awaiting their baby boy! ๐Ÿฅน

Maternity sessions are my favorite of all, especially when the family joins. These sessions with me are less about everyone looking at the camera and more about everyone forgetting it's there. I shoot child-led, which is really just code for: we wander, we play, we let kiddos be kiddos โ€” and the very best photos always sneak in around the edges.

There's something so powerful about the season right before โ€” creating a whole entire person, sitting in the quiet of the morning before the house is awake with soft tiny kicks keeping you company.

Maternity sessions are my chance to slow that holy in-between way down, to honor the soft glow of you in this body, in this moment, surrounded by the wildflowers and golden fields of southwest Virginia with your love. I pull a lot of cues from nature here โ€” the curve of a hill, the bend of a willow branch, the way late light spills over everything like honey.

You are doing the most magical work โ€” let's make sure you remember just how beautiful it was! ๐Ÿ’•

Motherhood is losing your mind and your heart being more full than it's ever been in your entire life. Simultaneously. Always. Every single day. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฅน

Your motherhood deserves to be documented.

Not the polished, everyone's smiling, nobody's got spit up on them version. The real one.
The tired eyes that glow when they look at you.
The toddler who has chosen today to be extra feral. (I love it!)
The way you look at your baby like they personally hung every star in the sky even though they kept you up until 3am.

THAT is what I'm here for.

Because in 15 years you're not going to remember every bit of chaos. You're going to remember the feeling from the very beginning. The weight of them in your arms in the early hours of morning when the house is still sleeping and the sunlight leaks into the room like slow golden water. Your exhausted on a level you didn't know possible, you smell like baby and coffee, but you soak in the stillness.

The season of life that was messy and hard and so unbearably sweet. ๐ŸŒฟ
I want you to have something in your hands that takes you straight back to it one day. โœจ

Newborn, maternity, and family sessions available in Floyd VA and throughout Southwest Virginia. ๐ŸŒท Link in bio to reach out!

Another celebration of life. ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿพ๐ŸŒˆ

This is Peanut, the cutest cocker/cavalier mix and Jadyn's sidekick for the past 15yrs. Mother nature really shone on these two with the sunny 80 degree weather, newly green grass with teeny flowers sparkled across the forest floor.

It's an insane honor to document the ending of chapters, the ones where you can see the entire story between the lines. Your childhood dog is your keeper, your sibling, partner in mischief and guardian of the night when little minds start wandering and tiny hands clutch fur for comfort. An ode to the love of a childhood dog. ๐Ÿ’•

At the beginning of the month, Hillary reached out to me about doing a rainbow bridge session for her sweet dog Carlee, who was starting to decline. She was nearly 16yrs old - Hillary's whole world and Kyle's baby girl.

I took these photos on a calm foggy Tuesday morning in the comfort of their home. It was slow and intentional. I learned how Carlee preferred the company of her soccer ball over any other toy or dog. lol How she bossed her brother Dagger around and kept him in line.

We documented these moments in ways that kept Carlee the most comfortable, and it was precious to see how Dagger would interact with her, it's like he knew we were taking photos when he put his nose to hers, and when he laid perfectly behind her and rest his head gently on her. (which shattered all three of us just a tad ๐Ÿ˜ญ)

How lucky it is to grow up with a dog in your adult years. They see you through the first apartment, the relationships, new jobs, struggles, heartbreak, love and all the goodness in-between.

That same Tuesday night, I hurried to edit some of the portraits to give to Hillary and Kylie to have and hold - Carlee ended up crossing the rainbow bridge peacefully the next morning. ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿพ

These session mean so much to me. I am a huge animal person and have worked in the grooming and veterinary world off and on over the years. So giving back in this way through this calling of photography, truly fills my heart as much as it breaks it.
It's not always an easy thing to share on here, but I want everyone to know that I offer these sessions. They are tip based/pay what you want - otherwise completely โœจfreeโœจ for terminally ill or elderly pets at a decline.

I would love it if you shared this post so it can be seen by those who may need it. ๐Ÿ’•

It had rained all day before this session, and it was predominantly indoors, but Sam and Cody are the coolest and were down to shoot in the rain too..... of course it stopped raining when we arrived. ๐Ÿ˜…

We took our indoor shots and still planned to go out regardless. Just as we ventured out a few steps, the skies started to pour! It was so magical ๐Ÿฅน I am all the more excited for these cuties wedding later this year!
