The M Family | A Fall Family Session

I was trying to figure out just how many years I have been photographing this family, and I lost track, but it’s been a LOT. I remember the first year. Their youngest was SO little, and he had me cracking up the whole time. Such a ham! Some things haven’t changed ;-)

All three children are growing into beautiful young adults. It’s hard to believe how the years have flown.

It has been an absolutely pleasure capturing their family pictures each year and being witness to their love. It’s an absolute honor!

Some spots are still remaining for full and mini sessions. Check out the booking site for more info and to schedule!!

The S Family | A Formal Family Session

Dressing up for family pictures may sound like a chore, but it can actually be a fun experience! Whether you're coordinating outfits or going all out with matching themes, dressing up for family photos can bring a sense of unity and excitement to the occasion, and that is exactly what this family did!

One of the best parts about dressing up for family pictures is the opportunity to get creative and express your unique style. You can experiment with different colors, patterns, and textures to create a cohesive and eye-catching look that highlights your family's personality. Plus, it's a great excuse to go shopping and find new outfits that make you feel confident and stylish. I love how this family used mom's red dress as the anchor, and built the other outfits around it.

Certain styles can really bring a sense of occasion and make the experience feel special. When everyone puts in effort to look their best, it creates a sense of unity and togetherness that can be captured in the photos. Plus, it's a great opportunity to take some time out of your busy lives to spend quality time together and create lasting memories.

Dressing up may require some extra effort, but it can be a fun and rewarding experience that brings your family closer together. And who doesn't enjoy looking like they just stepped off the cover of a magazine?! So, embrace the opportunity to get creative and have some fun with your family's wardrobe for your next photo session!

The M Family | A Fall Family Session

Family photography sessions are the perfect way to capture memories and preserve the special moments that you share with your loved ones.

One advantage of having a family session is the opportunity to create lasting memories. A professional photographer can capture the genuine emotions and interactions that occur during the session, giving you images that you will treasure forever.

Another benefit of family sessions is the chance to bond and have fun together as a family. Each session provides a unique opportunity to spend quality time with your loved ones; time that is captured beautifully in images!

Working with a professional photographer can help ease tension or anxiety about being in front of the camera, too. They do this all the time and know how to make you look good!

Family sessions can also serve as a visual reminder of your family's growth and evolution over time. As your family grows and changes, so do your relationships and dynamics. A family session can capture these changes and milestones, providing a beautiful record of your family's journey.

Don't miss out on opportunities to creating lasting memories, and to document this growth and change. Time goes by SO quickly. I can speak from experience. If you haven't done it already, consider scheduling a family session to capture your family's own unique story!

The C Family | A Fall Family Session

Families come in all shapes and sizes and, no matter how big or small your family is, a family photography session can be a wonderful way to capture memories that will last a lifetime. Here are some benefits of booking a family session:

1. Capturing Memories. A photo session allows you to capture your family at a particular moment in time.

2. Quality Time. A family session is a chance for you to spend quality time together. You can use this time to bond and have fun, creating a relaxed and happy atmosphere that will shine through in your photos.

3. Professional Quality. While it's great to take photos with your phone, a professional photographer can capture your family in a way that you may not be able to on your own. A professional can help you pose, find the perfect lighting, and create images that will be of the highest quality.

4. Perfect for Gifts. Family photos are perfect for creating gifts for family members and friends. You can create albums, prints, and canvases that can be treasured for years to come.

5. Create Family History. Photos can help you create a visual family history that you can pass down to future generations. These images will be a testament to your family's love and connection, and will help tell your family's story.

Don't wait for the "perfect time" to create memories. The years go by so quickly. Capture your life as it is now. It's an investment you won't regret!

The K Family | A Family Session

Well, this fall really proved to be a challenging one. While I had to reschedule many sessions, this one won for most times rescheduled. I felt SO bad for this family. The weather and sickness got in the way time and time again. We FINALLY ended up getting together, and it was an absolutely beautiful day, too!

The T Family | A Winter Family Session

This year, I had the opportunity to photograph this gorgeous family for the first time. We met at a beautiful, local Christmas Tree Farm in, what felt like, a blizzard! They were all troopers, though. Smiling and laughing amidst the snowflakes. By the end of the session, everyone was drenched! I am in LOVE with the images, though!!

This was my third year photographing the delightful L family. Watching their precious daughter grow is just amazing. I know I have mentioned this before, but mom is an incredible talented artist. In addition to her own shop, her work has been featured in numerous stores across the country!

Check out some of the images from this year’s session. We had such a great time!!

The H Family | A Summer Family Session

This summer, I had the pleasure of working with this beautiful family from the DC area! They were up visiting family and asked if I would do their session while they were in town. It had been about 7 years since I had last seen them, so I couldn’t believe how grown the kids were!! We had an absolutely gorgeous day!

S + O | Mommy & Me Session

I have known S for close about 6 years now. We have a rather unique situation…for 4 of those years, she cared for my daughter, always communicating with me and had her best interests at heart. I am so grateful that she put so much love into her time with G. Her daughter, O, is my daughter’s half-sister. S and I have become friends over the last few years and I am so thankful for our friendship!! I did a session with these two lovely ladies over the summer and we made sure to get some of the girl's together, as well. <3

This family recently welcomed their second child and asked me to capture some moments with him. I was so thrilled, not only to do the session, but to meet this sweet little one and spend time with his awesome parents and big brother! They are all so sweet and I just had a great time with them!! Thank you, E family, for inviting me into your home to witness these beautiful moments!

Sometimes it’s fall and you land upon the most magical light during a session. That happened with the C family! This light was so dreamy and this family was perfection! In addition to just being the CUTEST, mom and dad must be doing something right, because their three littles were absolute dreams!! The most well-behaved children ever, and SO much fun!!!

The C Family | An Extended Family Session

Family Love | A Fall Family Session

I ADORE these humans! Being presented with the opportunity to capture their amazing family made me SO happy. Do you ever have those people that come into your life and just make it BETTER? For me, that is this couple. They are genuinely wonderful people, and each one of them has a beautiful soul and so much to offer the world. Plus, check out how stunning they all are?! STAHHHHP!

The M Family | A Fall Family Session

For this year’s family session, the M family had a new member! I was SO excited when they asked me if they could bring their new puppy to include in the shoot. I mean, how flipping cute is this guy?! He looked like a toy! I couldn’t get enough of this sweet family and their new baby!

A Summer Maternity Session

I met with this gorgeous family one evening, to capture their last moments as a family of four, before welcoming their precious addition. Mom was absolutely radiant, and I couldn’t get enough of the combination of her and the beautiful light! Mama, you are a beautiful soul and I am SO thankful for the opportunity to capture you and your family, once again!!
