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!

When we were planning their engagement session, Ashley mentioned she didn't care when or where we did their session, she just wanted to make sure it wouldn't be too cold. I did my absolute best weather dance before the weekend they were scheduled to travel from Charlotte, VA for their session. I must be a terrible dancer, because when we hopped out of our vehicles at 8 o'clock in the morning, it was a brisk 45 degrees!

I have loved getting to know this family over the years. I first photographed them when their oldest was about 15 months old... and now she is a big sister! I remember being amazed that she was already identifying her colors at such a young age! That should have been a sign to their brain power. :) This family is the brains behind One Way Out, a local puzzle / escape room business. We LOVE to go when my genius dad and brother come to visit. Every time One Way Out opens a new room, we start coordinating another trip for my extended family to come into town!

Forest, Virginia Newborn Photographer A Sweet Growing Family Session

,

What's better than getting to see your best friend's baby right after he is born (considering they live 8hrs away)? Getting the chance to photograph the whole family, of course! I absolutely adore this family and the dynamics they share.  And they were all soooo in love with baby Raphael, especially big sister Penelope!

Here are a few of my favorites from our time together.

Ready to book your newborn session? I am already reserving sessions as far out as August 2017. Newborn sessions are best scheduled between 8-21 days old during the hours of 10AM-2PM. If you have waited until the last minute, please contact me - if I am able to fit you in, I will! I don't want you to miss out on the opportunity to have this short and sweet season of life documented. Contact me today to reserve your session. 

2016 Fall Picture Opportunities in Lynchburg, Virginia

Oh my goodness! SO many things have happened since we put our house on the market this summer! We MOVED... to a lovely house in the woods... to the serene, quiet space... in the land of... NO INTERNET.

Yeah, it sounds all romantic until you try and run a business from a place where you have no internet access! It's been challenging, to say the least!

But my days are full and I've had so many incredible, patient, and understanding clients! I have photographed many beautiful events: births, weddings, even a secret elopement! I have captured the personalities of the cutest little bebes as they grow and explore their world. I've played in new fields and explored the light with my camera on this new side of town.

In between shooting and editing, I'd found time to actually cook dinner for my family (maybe it's the lack of internet/distractions that has allowed me to suddenly have the time to cook! ha!), enjoy walks in the woods with my girls, paint, decorate, and put our things away in many of the rooms in our new home... and have lots of play time in the new studio! 

But... it's been long enough. This blog has been far too quiet. There are a lot of things happening here in the studio in the next few months and I want to make sure you have all the details!

So, here's what is coming up:

OH my goodness - I am SO excited about the new Santa Experience I am offering this year!!! 

Imagine no line... quiet, personal time with Santa... and professional, high-quality pictures you KNOW you will love! Experience the wonder of Christmas through your child's eyes as I capture their first glimpse of Santa and keep snapping away as they sit on his lap and enjoy sharing their Christmas wishes with him. 

This is the First Annual Santa Experience and THE best Santa experience in town! There are limited seats, so be sure to grab your spot ASAP! 

I will be back soon to show off some of the beautiful faces and love stories I've had the honor of photographing recently. For now, here's a little preview!!
