I have been insanely busy scheduling and shooting this year’s Unicorn Sessions. The weather has been great for most of them, and the kids have had such a blast playing with the unicorn! I am currently booking into mid June for these speciality sessions, so if you’d like more information or want to go ahead and reserve your spot, please e-mail me as soon as possible so I can get you on my books.
I had a cake smash session with sweet Lawson recently, and I cannot even tell you how much fun we had shooting this. This kid kept us laughing and giggling the entire time. Instead of actually eating his cake, he decided that finger painting was a much better idea. His expressions had us cracking up. Cake smashes are one of my favorite types of sessions because they’re so fun. Incredibly messy, but so, so fun! Check out some of the highlights from his session!
Wow, this past year has FLOWN by! Scarlett turned a year old today and we had her cake smash session the other day to document this milestone. I found a cake maker (Crystal Teets) local to Beaverdam, and she made the most AMAZING rainbow cake for Scarlett’s Rainbow & Unicorn themed birthday party!
We had to do this session first thing in the morning, so poor baby girl was not exactly bright-eyed and bushy tailed. In fact, most of the photos I have of her before the cake were pathetic crocodile teared photos, but I did finally manage a smile or two.
She really enjoyed her cake and was eating like a lady, super daintily and in tiny little pieces. Her big brother looked on and asked no less than a thousand times if he could have a piece… finally we obliged and he couldn’t believe we said yes. They were so adorable… Kellan making these approving grunts with each bite and Scarlett trying to feed everyone pieces. Here are just a couple highlights from their session. I love how these images turned out. I hope you do too!
I had the honor of photographing a friend and her sweet family as they wanted some photos to make a big announcement! Emily seriously has the cutest little pout and I had a great time making a fool out of myself just trying to make her laugh #noshame
Can we just take a moment to talk about how ridiculously good looking and photogenic this little family is?! Ahh!

I am now booking for my annual holiday mini sessions! I am so excited to offer these to my clients each year as a quick, fun, and stress-free way to get their holiday cards and some shopping out of the way. This year, I am having Santa Claus himself come to these sessions to play with each child! Each session includes a 10 minute personalized play date with Santa, 25 holiday cards, and 3 digital images. Add-ons are available, as well as gift vouches for Christmas presents! For those that do not participate in Santa or Christmas, I will also have a separate area set aside for family portraits. The price for these sessions is $200 and as always, we will have cookies and hot chocolate, as well as some activities for the kids.
These sessions will take place in Doswell, VA and time slots will go fast! I do not offer mini sessions very often, so make sure you reserve your space before it’s too late! I can NOT wait to see all the kid’s faces when they get to interact with Santa!! He will be reading stories, playing trains, Barbies, ball, etc. This Santa is totally legit, awesome and down for anything!

This rain sure has been putting a damper on my scheduled portrait sessions, but I am excited to see the fall colors sprouting up. I’ve been itching to get out and shoot, so this “hurricane” is driving me bonkers. I do … Continue reading
I’ve been keeping busy adjusting to our new life as a family of four. It’s been rough and I’ve felt a little crazy some days, but it’s awesome. Every day is something new. I’ve got lots of fun stuff coming up on the photography front. My summer calendar has been booking up steadily with weddings, family sessions, and random events. I am trying to find a good time to run a couple of mini-sessions before it gets too miserable outside. Just waiting on a few things before I announce any more details.
Here are just a couple photos I’ve taken in the last couple of days.
