When Michelle reached out to me to shoot her maternity session, she mentioned she was a photographer herself. I was honored to have been her choice of a maternity photographer! Michelle and her family traveled from Roanoke for their session. I love the jewel tones she selected for their fall session - they were perfect! Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our time together!
Lynchburg Newborn Pictures All the way from Alexandria
I had the honor of meeting this family for their maternity session back in October. Imagine how excited I was to receive an email from them about shooting their newborn session! I'll be honest, as we wrapped up their maternity session, I gave them a genuine recommendation to find a different photographer closer to home for their newborn session. Traveling 4 hours with a newborn can be challenging and I wanted to help them find beautiful images without having to make that trip.
But, they refused! :)
Charlottesville Maternity Pictures | A sunset session in the field
When Katie reached out to me last summer for an outdoor maternity session, she mentioned that she lived in the Northern Virginia area. I found out soon after her inquiry that she lived in Alexandria and wanted to travel to meet me for her session! What an honor! We decided to meet in Charlottesville at this whimsical field and I had a lovely time capturing her beautiful family (and their first baby - Benny!) during this short and sweet season of life.
Michael & Marilyn's Blue Ridge Parkway & Charlottesville Engagement Session
I first met Marilyn at Tyler & Chelsea’s wedding back when I was super duper pregnant with my youngest, Izzie, and I was waddling around from location to location to capture their wedding day. Marilyn was the wedding planner and she did an amazing job shooing people on and off the party bus while helping me make the most of our tight timeline. She mentioned she was impressed with my flexibility and wanted to book me for her own engagement + wedding pictures! What a huge compliment!!
Lynchburg Mommy & Me Session | Jayna & Evan

Mommy & Me Session
This mommy and me session photographed here in my studio near Lynchburg, VA reminded me why I do what I do. The connections captured in these images reignited my passion for this amazing work that I do and helped me reach my "click point" here in the new studio space. I can't wait to photograph more mamas and their babies together!
Both Jayna and Evan are wearing tops from the studio wardrobe which is available to all clients.
Enjoy a few of my favorite pictures from our time together in the studio!
When you take away distractions and simply let a baby be... the beauty of their personality and the connection they share with their people is enough to create the most beautiful art. I am in love!
Mama and baby clothing are both from the studio wardrobe. If you'd like for me to capture the genuine connection you share with your little one, please do not hesitate to get in touch!
