Rich Vibrant Lifestyle Sunset Maternity Sessions

Charlottesville & Richmond Virginia

Pregnancy is a fleeting, beautiful chapter in your journey to motherhood, and a sunset maternity session is the perfect way to capture this special time. The best time for your session is typically between 30-36 weeks, when your belly is beautifully round, but you’re still feeling comfortable. However, I welcome earlier and later sessions as well! (Learn why I love this window for maternity photos here: [Best Time to book your maternity session])

Sunset sessions take place one hour before the sun sets, ensuring we capture that gorgeous golden glow that makes your images feel dreamy and timeless. We have incredible locations in and around Charlottesville to choose from, offering a variety of stunning backdrops, from rolling fields to mountain overlooks. (Explore location options here: [blog link])

No matter your vision—whether it’s a flowing gown in an open field or a cozy, intimate setting—I’ll bring it to life with artistic, warm, and emotive images that celebrate your journey into motherhood. With over 70 gowns available in my client closet, you’ll have access to a beautiful selection to complement your session—at no additional cost.

Let’s plan your perfect sunset session and make sure you have beautiful memories of this incredible time!

“Give Angela 8 Stars Out Of 5.”

Is there some way to give Angela 8 stars out of 5? She is incredible! She took maternity photos of my wife, and when I saw the first proofs, I had to simultaneously pick my bruised jaw up off the ground and wipe a tear from my eye. She perfectly captured this beautiful, fierce, and loving woman, as she carried our first child. We will treasure these photos forever. I couldn’t wait to ask my wife about her “modeling session” after she got home, and she talked nonstop about how warm and personable Angela was. Angela did an incredible job helping my wife feel confident throughout their session and made it a very enjoyable experience for her. Needless to say, it was a complete no-brainer for us to turn around and book newborn photos with her!

“It Was A Dream”

Angela is a treasure! I worked with her on my maternity session and it was a dream. She made me feel beautiful and helped me create a vision outside of what I thought was possible.
This was a maternity session for my third pregnancy and my only maternity session! I decided I really wanted to capture this time in case this was my final time. She invited me into her studio before my session to try on dresses and she has a huge collection to choose from. I highly recommend her! Thank you for everything Angela!!

“A Comfortable Experience”

Angela took both my maternity and newborn photos. She went above and beyond to make it a comfortable experience for myself and my baby. She was a joy to work with and was very responsive to any questions or concerns that I had. Also her pictures are out of this world! She is so talented!

“We Love All Of Our Photos”

Angela is an incredible photographer for maternity, newborn, and milestone photos! She was very patient with our 1 year old and got our newborn to sleep through the whole photography session. Her studio has tons of props, swaddles, and maternity gowns to use so you don’t have to worry about those things. We love all of our photos taken by Angela.
