For a few days I thought, you know what... Maybe we won't do family portraits this year. Coordinating outfits, schedules aligning, sending out cards (ughhhh), and just the general stress that can sometimes come along with fitting all the moving pieces together... That's pretty crazy coming from a photographer, right?!

So I let myself sit in that for a few days, but then I remembered why I choose to document my family year annually. Each year they are as little as they are ever going to be. I want to remember something specific and tangible about every session I have with them. The fact is that photography has a beautiful ability to transport you back to an exact moment where all of your senses can be engaged. I want to remember that feeling as long as I can and I want that for you, too.

Outdoor newborn sessions might be making it to the top of my list this year. When we moved into our house almost five years ago, I was so excited by the old clothes line in the backyard. Not only is it super nostalgic for me, but it has made for some very fun portrait inspiration! Baby Blair was a literal doll baby for her pictures with mom, dad, and big brother. It makes it even better that these amazing clients are my literal neighbors!

I have very limited newborn availability in December, and I am already booking into late March for next year! Don't forget to reserve your spot!!!

And baby brother makes three! This Richmond newborn session had it all. Brotherly love (wrestling!), snuggles, bottles, counting toes, and lots of snacks and gummies! Being invited back by families to document their growing families is such a privilege and joy. It's amazing to see how all of the littles have changed and grown! 🤍

Limited space is available for newborn sessions between late October and the end of the year. Save your spot now!

So long sweet Summer! What a season it has been! Many days were spent by the pool with my girls, amazing time with friends and family, first time trips to near and far destinations, and a lot of joy! I can confidently say that summer 2026 was marked by JOY! ☀️

I welcome fall with open arms as I kiss 'goodbye' to a beautiful summer.

This precious maternity session just felt like the right send off for today, right? We had so much fun with these girls! I daydream of this pool more often than I should admit.

Next Mini-Session showcase here in Richmond!!! The Carillon! Last year was the first time I had been back in ages due to construction. This is a quintessential spot for family portraits in RVA. Gorgeous evening light, marble and stone create a natural light box all around you (hello flattering light!) and plenty of space for the kids to roam.

I have ONE SPOT LEFT for Thursday, Oct. 15th at 5pm.

Use the link in my bio to sn**ch it up! Get upgraded to the full gallery and save $35 off booking price of $485.

A full session allows us to capture intentional imagery because we can slow down, take our time and go at the pace of your little one. Some of my favorite images from this milestone session in Richmond were taken during a bottle break in a quiet corner on a cozy blanket.

Baby Sutton is halfway to one! Cannot wait to see her and her family again in January!
