Holy moly. Last night was wild with the opening of

Holy moly. Last night was wild with the opening of mini session booking. Let’s just say that if there were a race, I’d put money on my clients to win every time. ❤️ There are still a tiny handful of spots open for past clients who are late to the game - check your email! And if you didn’t get the fall or tree farm session your were hoping for, reach out and I’ll put you on the wait list. Something almost always opens up! This sweet family pictured was actually on my wait list last year, and they were able to grab a spot that opened and we had this beautiful session together!

Booking for this year’s fall and tree farm mini

Booking for this year’s fall and tree farm mini sessions is now open for past clients, who get first dibs for 48 hours! Check those emails, friends!

Who’s ready to set an alarm?!? Fall & Christmas

Who’s ready to set an alarm?!? Fall & Christmas outdoor mini sessions release to past clients tomorrow (Monday, 7/28) at 8pm! My past clients always get first dibs, in appreciation especially for those who have been with me as clients for years and years, but sessions open to everyone 48 hours later!
Keep an eye on your email (don’t forget to check the Promotions, and occasionally the Spam, folders)! There are LOADS of sessions spots this year - more than in the past couple years! Hopefully that makes it a little easier for everyone who wants one!
Finally, a moment of appreciation for this beautiful family session from last year. One perk of never quite keeping up with social media in the way that I should, is that I have a ton of sweet fall sessions from last year that I haven’t shared!

When mama says she’s a super fan of images that capture newborns’ tiny details. Don’t have to tell me twice!

I can’t resist a new baby! 😉 Had a tiny extra guest at this fun personality portrait session! Chaos ensued, but it was worth it for the cuteness!

A summery session with this crew at Mom & Dad’s

A summery session with this crew at Mom & Dad’s alma mater, the University of Richmond. In case you can’t tell, the girls were a walking comedy hour as we traveled to a few different spots on the campus! AND in case you missed it, there’s a poll up in my stories asking for input on fall mini session options!

If you love the vibe of a lifestyle newborn sessio

If you love the vibe of a lifestyle newborn session, but don’t feel your interiors or natural light at home are ideal for that, join me for a studio lifestyle session! Relaxed, cozy, natural. Fall due dates are starting to fill up now!
