Loving everything from this session, but for now here’s a little sneak peek 🤍

I stepped a little outside of my comfort zone during this shoot and focused on capturing a few landscape-style images to help tell a deeper piece of their story instead of just the moments themselves. Sometimes the photos become so much more than pretty pictures...they hold chapters of people's lives.

These sweet clients have trusted me over and over again through multiple sessions. Going into this session, they weren't sure how many more times they'd be able to do this... A couple of days later, they found out he is finally in remission. God is so, so good y'all. I've watched them fight against this ugly disease for almost a year now & happy for them doesn't even begin to describe how I feel!

I'm endlessly grateful for the way photography has allowed me to connect with so many of you on such a personal level and to preserve moments that carry so much meaning. More from this beautiful session coming soon ✨

Also...creative credit to for the inspiration behind this pic (and a lot of the session truly). We saw one of her Maymont photos and completely fell in love with it. Y'all make sure to check her out!

sneak peek of the wedding I shot this weekend 🤭🤍

I truly could not have asked for a better bride and groom to rip the band-aid off with for my first wedding. They were so kind, so easy to work with, and made the entire day feel natural and fun from start to finish.

I’m already so excited to share more from this beautiful day, but for now… here’s a little sneak peek ✨

Mother’s Day minis were so much fun 🤍🌷

I’m so grateful that I get to call this one of my jobs. One of the most special parts of photography for me is getting to see so many familiar faces shoot after shoot. Watching your families grow, celebrating new seasons of life with you, and getting to know you beyond just a photo session is such a cool experience.

Thank you for trusting me to capture these moments for you 🥹🤍

The Berry Family🩵

a funny little moment from this session - after chatting for a bit we realized we live 2 doors down from each other...which is crazy because we live in the middle of nowhere 😂 such a small world. Loved getting to capture this sweet family and their newest addition ✨

Had so much fun working with Imani from Wax Baby in Williamsburg 🤍

This session was something a little different for me and I’m so glad I did it because it ended up being so much fun. Within just a few minutes of being around her, you can feel how comfortable she makes her clients, which is such a special gift stepping into a space like this

If you’re looking for someone who not only knows what she’s doing but also makes you feel completely at ease… she’s your girl!

Parking garage grad pics?? I'm in 🎓🍾

I had the best time shooting this graduation session... a huge congrats to Amber on completing her BSN! 🩺💉

Meeting new people is one of my favorite parts of this job...but my repeat clients are something I never take for granted. To those of you who continue to trust me to capture all of life's moments (big and small) it truly means more to me than you know 🤍

Now booking grad sessions for 2026! 🎓📸

I still can’t believe how great the turnout was for these duck minis…feeling so incredibly grateful for every single one of you 🥹✨

I had the best time capturing these moments. There’s nothing sweeter than giggling babes and ducklings splashing around 🐥 I already can’t wait to do them again next year!!

What kind of minis do you want to see next? 👀📸
