I'm a dedicated mother with a love for capturing the special moments. I made the jump to start my business in August 2013, 1 month before I found out I was expecting my first bundle of energy. Although I have made myself available and have been striving towards building my business. My pricing reflects my desire to make quality photography available to everyone and my current portfolio building. Please join me as I grow my business to serve our Hampton Roads community.

Faith. Family. Dedication. Achievement.

Some milestones deserve more than a quick snapshot, and Mark's graduation from seminary was absolutely one of them!

Mark and his family traveled to Hampton Roads to celebrate this incredible achievement, and with a packed schedule and limited availability, finding time for portraits was a bit of a challenge. But creating beautiful memories shouldn't have to take a back seat just because life gets busy!

After scouting locations around their hotel, I was incredibly grateful to the Embassy Suites by Hilton Hampton Convention Center for allowing me to bring in my professional lighting equipment and use their gorgeous lobby for this session.

And can we take a moment to appreciate how AMAZING this family looked?! The elegance, the coordination, the confidence! Mark and his wife were giving serious power couple energy, and the entire family showed up and showed out!

One of my favorite things about photography is that no two sessions are exactly alike. Sometimes the perfect location isn't a studio or a beautiful outdoor landscape. Sometimes it's right where you are, and knowing how to make that space work is part of the experience I strive to provide.

Mark, congratulations on your seminary graduation! Your dedication to your education, your faith, and your calling is something truly worth celebrating. I'm so grateful I could help preserve this special chapter for you and your beautiful family.

Big milestones. Beautiful memories. Wherever life takes you.

Summer flew by faster than normal this year and I didn't even get to share all the most amazing birthday celebrations
EXTRA EXTRA!
July babies know how to celebrate, and Sweet 16 deserves a little extra sparkle.

This session proves you don't need elaborate sets to create something magical. A backdrop, a few simple props and one absolutely gorgeous birthday girl were all we needed.
Of course, I couldn't resist pulling out my favorite black tulle skirt. At this point, I think it's become a studio tradition—I try to put it on practically anyone who walks through my door (haha).

Happy Sweet 16! It was such a joy celebrating this beautiful milestone with you. Thank you for trusting me to capture the beginning of such an exciting new chapter.

Some sessions just mean a little more.

I took these a year ago, and somehow they feel even more special now. Autumn and Manny aren’t just clients—they’re the kind of people who become family. The kind who show up, who love deeply, and who make life brighter for everyone around them.

I’ve watched them pour that love into their friends, into my kids, into every little gathering they host. Whether it’s laughter around a table, a DnD night, or a home filled with Manny’s cooking and Autumn’s creativity… they create spaces where people feel seen and cared for.

That’s what you’re seeing here. Not just photos—but the kind of love that’s built in all the little moments.

These two are something special. And the way they love each other? Even more so.

✨Throw back Thursday✨
Remember when social media was new to us all and every week we'd be excited to share something with the masses that maybe they hadn't seen before or an image that showed how long we've known someone or connections we've had with our loved ones? With phones it's easier than ever witg the amazing photos we have backed up from our day to day lives, but what about those classic professional prints or film negatives that have gotten tucked away over time? Here's your call to get the photos done that will be your future memories!
When was the last time you got updated images?
Moms get out from behind that camera and celebrate the now you'll be looking back on forever.
Here's a little now and then Throw Back Thursday of mine from the Jones family. Drop yours in the comments!

Every summer I find myself coming back here… Colonial Williamsburg just has a way of slowing everything down in the best way.

I took these photos almost 10 years ago, and honestly? It’s still one of my favorite places to photograph families. The flowers, the soft light, the quiet little corners, and those beautiful early mornings… it all just feels timeless.

Summer sessions here are something special. Kids can explore, families can relax, and we can capture those real moments in a place that already feels like a memory.

I’m opening up some extra dates in July, August and September, including weekdays, weekends, early mornings and later evenings. If you’ve been thinking about updating family photos, this is your sign.

Gianna is Three-ana ✨

I had been dreaming about creating a Princess Tiana inspired session, and this one came together more perfectly than I could have imagined. From the very beginning, I knew I wanted something special… so I custom sculpted and crafted a three foot lily pad just for her.

Every little detail made this session feel like stepping right into the story. The soft glow of fireflies, her sweet little frog companion, the most perfect dress, and those adorable glitter shoes… it all came together in the most magical way.

And of course, the cake from tied it all together beautifully.

Gianna brought it all to life with her personality—curious, playful, and completely in her own little world. These are the kinds of sessions I love most—where imagination, creativity, and a whole lot of heart come together.

The last time the Jones's family photos moved to the studio

We started with some classic family images… and then things got really fun.

Star Wars. Ren-faire. Lightsabers, leather details, and so much personality.

This is exactly why I love what I do. Getting to capture the real personalities of a family—the quirky, the playful, the things that make them them—and watching their story grow year after year.

These are the sessions that remind me photos don’t have to be traditional to be timeless.

Sometimes the weather has other plans.

Ray had originally planned to create her nursing graduation portraits outdoors. When the forecast changed, I was happy I was available for a last-minute pivot to my new studio. With a private studio there is no scrambling to find a backup location, no worrying about rain, wind, or extreme temperatures—just the ability to move forward and celebrate important milestones.

And this was definitely a milestone worth celebrating.

After countless hours of studying, clinicals, exams, and determination, Ray has officially completed nursing school. I loved incorporating her textbooks, stethoscope, graduation regalia, and even the special tassel charm honoring someone important to her journey. Every detail helped tell the story of the hard work that brought her to this moment.

Congratulations, Ray! Your dedication, perseverance, and heart have carried you this far, and I know they will serve you well as you begin this next chapter. Wishing you all the success in the world as you step into your nursing career.

Some sessions are special because of the milestone. Some are special because of the person.

Photographing Kim’s college graduation session was one of those sessions that meant a little extra to me. Her family has been like family to me for most of my life, so getting to celebrate this huge accomplishment with her felt incredibly full circle.

We photographed her session in beautiful Smithfield, Virginia, and I loved how the classic brick architecture and soft evening light paired perfectly with the elegant feel of her cap and gown portraits. I loved the mix of professional portraits, graduation images, and all the little in-between moments that showed her personality and confidence.

Watching people you care about reach goals they’ve worked so hard for is one of the best parts of what I get to do.

Congratulations, Kim. I’m so proud of you and so excited for everything ahead.
