Charlottesville Cake Smash Photography Session

Sweet Gabby and her 1st birthday! I love cake smash photo sessions and I loved watching this girl get into her cake! Another milestone session complete with this family. I am sure going to miss photographing their beautiful children!

I’m Angela, a newborn and baby photographer. Before photography, I was a NICU nurse. As a mom of two, I know how fleeting these moments are and love creating timeless portraits to celebrate them. When I’m not behind the lens, I’m running marathons, knitting, or enjoying Disney vacations with my family.

When you book a newborn session with me, you’re not just getting beautiful portraits—you’re getting a peaceful experience. I only schedule one newborn session per day, so there’s never a rush. Your baby sets the pace, whether that means extra snuggles, feeding breaks, or a little time to settle. 💕

My studio is warm, quiet, and designed to keep both baby and parents comfortable. Every little detail is handled with patience and care, ensuring timeless images you’ll treasure forever.

Why NOT to Book Me as Your Newborn Photographer! 🚫👶📸.
I’ll be honest—hiring me might be dangerous. Here’s why:

1️⃣ You might get tired of me constantly repeating how cute your baby is. Seriously, I won’t stop. Every pose? Adorable. Every tiny stretch? Precious. Every sleepy smile? Perfection. I can’t help it! Be honest… who here has heard me do this on repeat. I have zero self control.

2️⃣ You might feel overwhelmed by how many amazing photos you get. When I say your gallery will have 40-50 beautifully edited images, I mean it. Choosing favorites? Impossible. Just accept that you’ll want them all!

3️⃣ You might start wanting another baby just for another session. I’ve seen it happen. You’ll swoon over the cozy, squishy, perfectly posed photos and suddenly think, hmm… maybe just one more! Not responsible for any unexpected baby fever. 😉

So, if you’re okay with these “risks,” we should probably book your session. 😆✨

📸 Behind the Camera…and on the Run 🏃‍♀️

When I’m not in the studio capturing your precious moments, you’ll probably find me logging miles on the road. Running is my happy place—a small part of my day where I can clear my mind, push my limits, and connect with others who share the same passion.

💡 Here are a few things you might not know about me:
🌟 I started running in my late 30s after struggling with my weight for most of my life.
🌟 I run 6 days a week averaging 40 miles a week (and hit 50+ during marathon season!).
🌟 I adore racecations—there’s something magical about exploring new places through running.
🌟 The best friendships in my life? Most of them began with a pair of running shoes and a shared path.

Running has taught me discipline, resilience, and the importance of celebrating milestones—lessons that I carry into my work as a photographer. Just like running, photography is about the journey, the moments in between, and creating something meaningful.

Are you a runner too? I’d love to hear about your favorite races, routes, or how running has shaped your life!
