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.
I think it is so SO important for couples to have current photos together, and I love that after we get lots of photos of the girls that we can focus on each of the couples. I know that years from now Riley, Ainsley, and Natalie will treasure these pictures of their parents together, and […]

To say I was excited when Cynthia first contacted me is an understatement. She and I have had the opportunity to work together a few times in the past, since she makes the most gorgeous floral arrangements over at Design in Bloom, but this time it wasn’t about flowers or weddings, it was about celebrating […]

It wasn’t even 20 minutes into his platform talk and I was already tearing up. I’m sure the woman next to me would have thought I was crazy, if she hadn’t been sitting there reaching for a tissue in her purse as well. I should have known better, after hearing Jesh de Rox speak last […]
