One moment, an empty setup. The next, the sweetest One moment, an empty setup. The next, the sweetest little heart you’ve ever seen. It’s amazing how one tiny baby can bring a vision to life. Every pose is created slowly, safely, and with so much love #charlottesvillenewbornphotographer #cvillemoms #crozetphotographer
Your Only Job Is to Love Your Baby Parents always Your Only Job Is to Love Your Baby Parents always ask me what they should be doing during the session. Honestly? Relax. Watch. Take a nap if you need one. Enjoy a hot cup of coffee. Look through your baby's gallery as we create it. After weeks of sleepless nights, my goal is for the studio to feel like a peaceful place where you can simply breathe while I do the work.
If we've never met before, hi! I'm so happy you're If we've never met before, hi! I'm so happy you're here. I'm the photographer who will happily crawl around on the ground, make ridiculous noises, dance behind my camera, and probably leave a session with grass stains... all to get genuine smiles. I don't expect perfect kids, perfect outfits, or perfect poses. I just want you to show up, love on your family, and let me take care of the rest. The best compliments I receive are when clients tell me, "That was actually fun." Because that's exactly how I want every session to feel. If we've worked together before, tell everyone in the comments... what surprised you most about your session?
One of my favorite things about this job is knowin One of my favorite things about this job is knowing these photos will mean even more years from now than they do today. The tiny fingers won't stay tiny. The baby curls will disappear. The bump will become a beautiful little person. The giggles will grow into bigger adventures. Life has a way of changing before we even realize it's happening. That's why I love freezing these little moments in time—so one day you can look back and remember exactly how it all felt. What's one season of life you wish you could relive for just one more day?
You have probably been thinking about this longer You have probably been thinking about this longer than you want to admit. Maybe you told yourself the timing wasn't right. Or the budget needed to be perfectly figured out first. Or that your baby had been through too much already and a studio session felt like one more thing. I hear some version of that almost every week. And I just want to say, clearly: you don't have to have it all lined up before you reach out. Families come to me mid-juggle all the time. The timing is never perfect. The budget is rarely 'figured out.' And those sessions are almost always the ones people treasure most. This is your sign to stop waiting.
If you're currently expecting, you are in one of t If you're currently expecting, you are in one of the most decision-heavy seasons of your life. What to register for. Who to let in the delivery room. Which products are actually worth it. What kind of birth you want and what to do when it doesn't go that way. And somewhere in the middle of all of that, someone probably mentioned newborn photos. I'm not here to add to the noise. I just want you to know that when you're ready to think about it, this is a low-pressure space to ask questions and figure out if it's even the right fit for your family. No hard sell. No urgency tactics. Just honest conversation. My contact info is in the bio whenever you want it.
Someone warned me the newborn phase goes fast and Someone warned me the newborn phase goes fast and I nodded politely like I understood. And then it just... went. Every parent I have ever worked with says the same thing. You blink and the curled-up, sleeps-on-your-chest, fits-in-one-arm version of your baby is just gone. Document it. Seriously. You will not regret it.
I'm a marathon runner, a nurse, a photographer, a I'm a marathon runner, a nurse, a photographer, and apparently also someone who is currently losing a slow battle against a pile of laundry. The last few weeks have been full in the way most weeks are full - sessions, early morning training runs, emails, the juggle. I showed up to every session. The laundry is a different story. I share that not to complain but because I think it's worth saying: showing up doesn't require having everything handled first. It just requires showing up. That's true for me on a Tuesday morning run. It's also true for families who come into the studio mid-chaos, under-slept, and convinced they're not ready. You're more ready than you think.
