ne, Massachusetts maternity session was idyllic. It was golden hour in July. We met on a hill that overlooks the city of Boston; we walked up a beautiful brick path that is lined by hydrangea bushes and trees that filter the loviest, soft, golden light.

This sweet boy was 2.5 weeks old at his session. He was awake and alert through most of my time with him and was definitely feeling cozy when I wrapped him up!…

I am so excited to feature this beautiful family on the blog today! I cannot get over how ADORABLE they all are! They were sweet, easy going, and just so happy to be together! We met at the Manassas Battlefield Park for their family photo session and couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful summer day in Northern Virginia!

It felt so good to be back in the studio for this family session! I photographed Stephanie’s maternity portraits in the studio, which feels like yesterday! Fast forward a very quick six months and here I am, sharing photos of her family of FOUR on the blog today! 🙂

Is it possible to leave a newborn session without baby fever? (The answer: No!)

This lifestyle newborn session took place at their home in Northern Virginia when baby girl was seven whole days new! Her mom and dad were calm, joyful, and their home – peaceful. One of the greatest gifts of my job is being with families during their most joyful moments such as these; when they are bursting with the love and joy of new life! This sweet baby is blessed to have two parents that love her so! May God bless this sweet family always! This sweet baby is so blessed to have two parents that love her so! May God bless this sweet family always!

This beautiful couple…I’m so thankful I was able to take these maternity portraits for them before their baby girl arrived. We met in Washington DC on a very, very chilly Spring morning. I was in a winter coat behind this camera…

I love seeing my children like this: barefoot by the water, running around with sweaty, messy hair, pockets full of sand, and experiencing the magic of childhood. This is life right here and thank God for it!

In the past three months…we bought a house, renovated that house *ourselves*, began booking 2022 weddings, edited countless galleries, and MOVED!…

After much research and taking Covid restrictions into consideration, I realize that realistically, I am only able to offer ONE day of Cherry Blossom Mini’s. Given the popularity of these sessions and the circumstances of our time, I have decided to offer an additional option of private bloom sessions in hopes of capturing both the plethora of pink magnolias that bloom prior to the cherry blossoms, as well as the cherry blossom themselves!

Calm and poised with a peaceful joy – that is how I would describe this beautiful mama awaiting baby number two. Our time together in the studio passed by quickly as we chatted about our moves to Virginia…
