Newborn photography is my passion. Moving to the Short Pump area of Glen Allen,VA made it possible to have my own studio attached right to my house.  I am thrilled that I can offer clients an escape for a few hours while I take their sweet baby and they can kick their feet up and rest while enjoying tv, beverages, and snacks.  They are also more than welcome to just catch up on some much needed sleep if they choose to.

Abigail’s sweet parents needed a break, whether they would tell me so or not, I knew they did.  Abigail’s mom was having quite a rough time recovering from delivery… so much so that we pushed the newborn session back quite a bit.  Abigail’s dad had been taking on all the extra work taking care of both baby and mom.  This couple is especially dear to me.  I photographed them for a Maternity Session and simply fell in love with them.  They are so kind and sweet.  They are from South Africa and their accents simply woo me.  It means the world to me when I can walk away from a photo session knowing that I have just gained dear friends.

These are my dear friends and their special new bundle of joy, Abigail.  We scheduled an evening session due to Dad’s work schedule (not something that I normally do but I was hoping to make it out to a field at sunset) and these sweet people were incredibly patient as hour after hour passed and the night grew later.  We finally wrapped up around 9:00PM and I think all of us were exhausted… but the pictures are totally worth it all!

I mean... look at them.
Some maternity photographs are about the dress, the light, the belly.
And some are just about two people who are very clearly still very much in love before they become three. I want to always photograph THAT!

Fall is coming. 🍂

And if you’ve been telling yourself you’re going to get family photos this year…

this is your sign to stop putting it off.

Because the leaves will change.
The kids will get another year older.
And this exact season of your family will be gone before you know it.

My fall mini sessions are short, relaxed, and designed to give you beautiful images without spending hours trying to get everyone to cooperate.

If you’ve been thinking about doing fall photos this year, now is the time to book.

Send me a message and I’ll send you all the details. 🤎

There is no photograph important enough to rush a newborn.

If your baby needs to eat, we stop.
If they need to be soothed, we stop.
If they need a break, we take one.
And if they don’t like a particular pose, we move on.

Because your newborn session isn’t a race to get through a shot list.

Some of the photographs I love most happen because we slowed down. Because baby was comfortable. Because mom needed a minute. Because everyone simply relaxed and let the session unfold.

Beautiful newborn photography and a calm, baby-led experience should go hand in hand.

That’s how I can create both the beautiful classic newborn portraits you imagined and the natural, connection-filled photographs you’ll treasure just as much.
