This is always one of my favorite locations to shoot at because how often can you get a backdrop of fall foliage, waterfront views, with nature vibes like trees and grass all at the same spot? Now throw in an adorable family with some big personalities and you have it all! I loved working with […]

Growing up I was always surrounded by cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents so the idea of “immediate family” was a foreign concept to me. It was always loud, chaotic and I LOVED it. I think that’s why I enjoy extended family photo sessions SO much. I always hear about photographers turning these sessions down and […]

Every year I photograph these boys I am always amazed with how different they look compared to the year before. This time they opted to take their family session up a notch and shoot on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. We pushed through all of the pedestrians and foot traffic and took advantage […]

Hunter showed up with her crew to Downtown Fredericksburg for their family photography session and the sun came out and gave them the dreamiest light for their spring photo shoot. Big sister giggled and brought her A game modeling skills out while baby brother chilled and took in the fresh air. I always love when […]

Amanda is a fellow family photographer here in Fredericksburg, Virginia and we wanted to get all of her kids (college kiddos too) in her family session. We finally found a date that worked and we locked it in! So many families stop investing in professional photography as their children get older and out of that […]

It was the perfect location for these kids to run around and Heather got a beautiful backdrop for her family photography session. I have photographed Heather and Tyler since their wedding day and all of the […]

I was planning on meeting this beautiful family at Chatham Manor in Fredericksburg VA only to find that they were closing the road down to access the property before they were going to arrive. Talk about stress! My clients were not from this area and I had to think on my feet quickly trying to […]

Abigaile and Sam drove down from DC to the lake for a weekend away from the noise and spent sunrise with me at Lake Anna State Park for their engagement session. I told them, “Oh lets meet at sunrise so we can avoid any crowds!” Well little did I know that an entire triathlon also […]

We met outside Casa Del Barco in Richmond, Virginia and were determined to walk off some toddler energy during the last hour of daylight on a hot July evening. I think what I enjoyed the most about this session is that their daughter was shy, stubborn and had zero interest in me taking her portraits. […]

This past summer my best friend came into town with the kids from Alaska!  Her husband is stationed in Anchorage so I only see her about once a year.  We spent the week running errands together, laying on the couch scrolling on our phones like we were teenagers again and had a super fun day […]
