C FAMILY | FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER | WIDE WATER, VIRGINIA

I absolutely LOVE this family!! We met about 4 years ago and have had the joy of photographing them every year since!! We always start our spring session with celebrating all 3 gorgeous girl’s birthdays with their special outfits!! Mama outdoes herself every year!! They are such a fun group of kiddos and always look forward to seeing their new gymnastic skills and of course meeting the guinea pigs <3. I think we have officially photographed them all now!!

This session was also special as we got to photograph the entire family!! It is so hard to get all relatives together and it is always a great time when clients can make it happen. We captured ALL the groupings we could think of and I know these are memories that meant so much to everyone.

At the end of the session we finished up the best way we could by getting in the water! :) Anytime a client wants to get their toes wet is my favorite. I even found some sea glass <3. Loved spending another year with these guys!!! Check out some of my favorites.

C EXTENDED FAMILY | FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER | WIDE WATER VIRGINIA

Capturing Generation sessions has been a new favorite for me over the last 2 years. It is SO hard to coordinate multiple families with work schedules, kiddo schedules, travel, etc and it is really easy to say “OH maybe next year!” But when families are able to pull it off it is truly the most rewarding experience. Seeing the grandkids together and the interactions of family members that don’t get to see each other all the time is really special.

This family is also SUPER special to me as I have known them the last 10+ years and have been fortunate to celebrate and capture big milestones like engagements, weddings, birth announcements, grandkid arrivals etc! It’s been really amazing. When mama contacted me about her kiddos and grand babies coming into town we made sure to make it happen. We had a perfectly overcast day which is HUGE when you need to capture a morning session. We got to spend the morning on the water and get every grouping imaginable. It was a great time of catching up and celebrating multiple generations of a beautiful family. Check out some of my favorites!!!

BABY C | NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER | STAFFORD, VIRGINIA

There is nothing sweeter than a newborn!!! And nothing more adorable than seeing proud big sisters holding and loving on their new baby brother!! I had so much fun creating lasting memories for this gorgeous family of 5 and celebrating their newest edition. Newborn sessions are always filled with joy and hope and always are an amazing reminder of all the goodness there is in the world. New life brings new adventures and so many new perspecitives on things and often when I photograph a new baby I try to incorporate some of that newness and excitement back into my own life. Our family is out of the baby stage so being able to participate in the snuggles and soaking up those quiet moments when time stands still is such a special thing. I love this job and love capturing those sweet little babies!! Here are some of my favorites from our session!

S FAMILY MATERNITY | MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER | WOODBRIDGE VIRGINIA

March maternity sessions can always go one of two ways in Virginia with its crazy weather. HOT or FREEZING and for some reason there never seems to be an in between! This session took place on my birthday so I knew despite the bizzare weather forecast it was going to work out and be amazing. :) All week leading up to our session temps were chilly but manageable but the weekend hit and we were forcasted in the 40’s and WIND!! SO MUCH WIND!! The temp was SO COLD and there were 30+mph wind gusts. Talk about a wild forecast! With maternity sessions, time is not always on our side when the weather is absolutley bonkers! And with weather this year being so unpredictable we trusted our gut and my incredible clients trusted me to work magic!

The entire session was freezing and windy BUT these two ROCKED IT! They embraced the elements and captured increible photos!! At the end this brave mama even braved the freezing water so we could get those gorgeous water shots!! I am so in love with what we captured. I absolutley adore this couple and couldn’t be more excited to photograph their journey into parenthood! Here are my favorites! If you are interested in a maternity or newborn session shoot me an email!!

ELIZABETH IS ONE | MILESTONE PHOTOGRAPHER | STAFFORD VIRGINIA

Sweet Elizabeth is already one!! I cannot believe it! It feels like yesterday that I received the “she’s here” text!! This little beauty is one of my dear friends baby’s and have had the pleasure of watching her grow over the last year. She is such a smiley happy girl and those chunky cheeks are too precious. For her one year session we lucked out with a gorgeous 70ish degree day with incredible glowy light. Bugs weren’t out yet and we just had a blast capturing some stunning photos of this little lady. I cannot wait to see her continue to grow and see her personality continue to shine! Here are some of my faves!!
