Some call them “kids personality portraits”, some call them more “heirloom portraits”, I just call them a ton of fun! :) This is the first year that I’ve offered these mini sessions, and they’ve been such a big hit! There is such magic in each different stage of their childhood— from the chunky infant cheeks, the curious toddler looks, the ‘throw your head back’ belly laugh that some day turns into a more reserved laugh once they hit those pre-teen years, the sassy teenage eye roll when they’re trying not to giggle at you… it’s all worth remembering.

Northern VA Holiday & Fall Mini Sessions are now available for booking! November 7th and 14th in Leesburg VA for indoor holiday studio minis and outside fall mini sessions!
it amazes me every time just how fast that first year flies by, and it feels like just yesterday we were taking their maternity portraits as they waited for sweet Mia to arrive! I had the joy of documenting their maternity, newborn, 6 month, and now first birthday portraits, and it’s the sweetest gift to get to know a family over such a special year.
these two knew they wanted those classic DC engagement portraits to mark this exciting season, and man oh man did that vision come to life!

This year’s Motherhood Mini Session event was so special to me, and I am so grateful to each of the mamas and babies who joined me last April at Studio at 428! We had the most gorgeous florals by CS Farmstead, sweet treats by Signature Sweets by Amanda, and a beautiful day to celebrate these beautiful ladies.
My love and affection for these boudoir session just grows and grows, and i’m hoping to do so many more of them in 2026! My goal for these maternity boudoir sessions is to find that gorgeous blend of femininity, strength, beauty, power, tenderness, joy, vulnerability, connection, and wonderment that comes with pregnancy.

Oh friends, I am SO excited to share these portraits with you! Something I’m hoping for 2026 is SO many more fine art boudoir sessions! They are so special to me, so fun, so empowering, and it’s the absolute best to get to remind these women of how uniquely stunning they are. Maternity boudoir sessions especially have such a sweetness and power to them, and I was so excited to bring the vision for this session to life.

20 years of doing this job (crazy, right?!) and the couples I get to know truly truly are the very best part still! Ben and Cosi were married this past May, and I got the sweetest text from her out of the blue 8 months after their wedding saying they were scrolling through their photos again and couldn’t love them more, and how thankful she was for me to have been there.

Every detail was thoughtfully and intentionally put in place, every person there was full of joy for these two, and it truly was a dream of a day for Greg and Jackie at Stone Tower Winery here in Leesburg VA. Those spring colors popped against the vines that were in full bloom, and we used every inch of this stunning property because they built in plenty of time throughout the day to sneak away and soak it all in together.

Those fall days at Shadow Creek are what wedding dreams are made of! Stunning color, perfect weather, and incredible views. Tyler and Lana had the most perfect October day with a dream team of vendors, and it was such a joy to get to be a part of it all.
