Time moves too fast, but memories don’t have to

Time moves too fast, but memories don’t have to fade.

Mamas, I see you. You blink, and suddenly your tiny newborn is sitting up, giggling, and growing faster than you ever thought possible. The baby phase? It’s fleeting. And while cell phone snapshots fill your camera roll, they don’t quite capture the pure innocence, delicate features, and sweet expressions that make this moment so precious.

That’s why I’m offering Timeless Heirloom Portraits—classic, black-and-white images that preserve your child’s early years in a way that will never go out of style.

These portraits are designed to be artwork—something you can display proudly in your home and pass down for generations.

💭 Imagine gifting your child a portrait like this when they’re grown—a piece of their childhood frozen in time.

Now booking heirloom portrait sessions in my Charlottesville studio. Sessions are simple, stress-free, and designed for busy moms who want to preserve this moment before it slips away.

Think you missed the “perfect” window for newb

Think you missed the “perfect” window for newborn photos? You haven’t! While the ideal time for those sleepy, curled-up poses is between 7-21 days, we can absolutely capture beautiful newborn portraits up to 3 months old—we just adjust our approach!

✨ Under 3 weeks: Classic sleepy, posed images with wraps and props.
✨ 3-6 weeks: A mix of wrapped and awake shots, often with sweet eye contact.
✨ 6-12 weeks: More expressions, stretches, and adorable connection moments with parents.

Every stage is precious, and there’s no such thing as “too late” for capturing your baby’s first portraits. If you were worried you missed your chance—don’t be! Let’s chat about how we can create something beautiful, no matter your baby’s age.

📅 Limited last-minute openings available! Message me today to grab a spot. #newborn #newbornphotography #newbornphotographystudio #charlottesville #cvillemoms #crozetmoms #crozetnewbornphotographer #charlottesvillenewbornphotographer

Parents, have you ever hesitated to book a cake smash because you were worried about something? Maybe your little one doesn’t like new textures, or you’re afraid they won’t touch the cake? Or perhaps you’re dreading the cleanup?

I want to tackle the biggest cake smash concerns and make these sessions stress-free and FUN for everyone! Drop your biggest worry in the comments, and I’ll share my best solutions! ⬇️✨

(And if your little one has already done a smash, tell me—did they dive in or barely touch it?) #cakesmash #smashsessions #cakessmashphotographer #crozetva #charlottesville #cvillemoms #cvillephotographer #charlottesvillebabyphotographer

“The studio waiting room is getting a much-needed makeover! So far, we’ve updated the walls (still need a skim coat, sanding, and paint), but new lighting, prints, and chairs are coming soon. I’m still undecided on the curtains—what do you think? Yay or nay? Can’t wait to share the full transformation!” #charlottesvillephotographer #newbornstudio #newbornphotographystudio #cville #charlottesvillenewbornphotography #crozet

A Little About Me—The Fun & The Weird Edition!

A Little About Me—The Fun & The Weird Edition!

Hey there! I’m Angela, a newborn photographer who spends my days capturing squishy little babies and my nights doing things that might make you raise an eyebrow.

🦶 I have to sleep with one foot outside the covers. Don’t ask me why, but it keeps me cool, and now it’s a non-negotiable sleep habit.

🍏 I put salt on my green apples before eating them. Try it. Trust me. Life-changing.

🥣 When I dip crackers in soup, they must have peanut butter on them. It’s the perfect mix of salty, creamy, and cozy.

🤯 I’m absolutely obsessed with pimple-popping videos. Dr. Pimple Popper? Yes, please. Blackhead extractions? My happy place.

📸 When I’m not snuggling newborns (with my camera), I’m probably out running, editing, or planning my next Disney trip.

What’s a weird or random fact about you? Tell me so I don’t feel like the only oddball here! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
