"🎄 This little bundle of joy is part of our December baby boom! It's been such a treat to meet TWO sweet newborns this week, with two more coming before we say goodbye to 2024. My studio has been filled with cozy vibes and festive cuteness, and I couldn’t be happier. 🍼❤️

January is looking bright and has a few openings left for those winter newborn sessions. If you're expecting, let's capture your little one's first milestones in a warm, artistic setting. Message me to book your spot before they’re gone! 💌 #NewbornPhotography #CozyAndCandid #BabyLove #JanuaryAvailability #newborns #charlottesvillenewbornphotographer #crozetnewbornphotographer #stauntonnewbornphotographer

Just look at all this love! 🥹💛 Big brothers

Just look at all this love! 🥹💛 Big brothers and sister snuggling their newest addition—there’s truly nothing sweeter and they were SO much fun to photograph. Capturing these moments for families like yours makes my heart so full.✨

December is already pretty full, but I might just be able to squeeze in another session... because moments like this are too hard to resist! 📷

What’s your favorite holiday tradition? 🎄✨

What’s your favorite holiday tradition? 🎄✨
This season is all about making memories. ❤️

When the kids were younger, we used to drive around and check out the tacky lights in Richmond. In recent years, we’ve started visiting the lights at the Boar's Head Inn instead—it’s local, festive, and everything is all in one place!

Advent calendars are a must in our house because everyone loves the daily countdown. 🎁

We’ve also tried a few other traditions over the years (some more successful than others):

The Elf on the Shelf? He’s officially retired. Let’s just say he had a habit of napping in the same spot for days.

Cookie baking? Not my strength. Precise measurements and decorating aren’t my thing, and my cookies often turn out dry and overcooked. But I do love eating cookies that others bake! 🍪😄

What traditions bring joy to your holiday season? Drop your favorites in the comments—I’d love to hear how you celebrate!

✨ Expecting a December baby in Charlottesville? Let’s make this season even more magical! 🎄👶

Hi, I’m Angela, a local photographer who lives for capturing those fleeting newborn moments. I know how busy (and exhausting!) this time can be, but trust me—those tiny fingers, dreamy smiles, and sweet sleepy poses deserve to be preserved forever. 🥰

Here’s why a December baby is extra special:
❄️ Cozy, wintery vibes make for stunning, timeless photos.
❄️ We can incorporate soft holiday touches—think twinkle lights, neutral tones, or even a sweet nod to your family traditions.
❄️ Your little one’s first professional portraits will be absolutely magical.

My studio is warm, inviting, and fully equipped for both you and your little one to feel at ease. (I even have a collection of props and wraps so you don’t have to worry about a thing!) 💕

✨ Newborn sessions are best within the first few weeks of life. Spots fill up quickly, so if you’re due this December, now’s the time to reserve your session.

📩 DM me to chat about your vision or book your spot today. Let’s create something beautiful together! #CharlottesvilleNewbornPhotographer

What to Expect at Your Newborn Session with Me! 🍼✨

Let’s be real: newborn sessions are a little unpredictable, but that’s what makes them special (and fun!). Here’s a glimpse of what’s bound to happen when you step into my studio:

💩 Yes, your baby will probably poop or pee. On me, on you, or maybe on one of my props. And guess what? That’s completely NORMAL. I’m ready for it with extra wipes, blankets, and zero judgment. It’s all part of the experience!

🔥 It’ll feel warm—like a cozy day at the beach. Babies love a warm, snuggly environment, so the studio is kept toasty for their comfort. Don’t hesitate to step out, grab some water, or cool off if you need to.

🧘‍♀️ You might arrive stressed but leave feeling grateful. I know getting out the door with a newborn can be an Olympic event. But once we start capturing those sweet moments—tiny toes, yawns, and cuddles—you’ll realize it was all worth it.

Every session is full of laughter, love, and a whole lot of adorable chaos. Let’s make it a day you’ll always remember. 💕

Photographing this sweet newborn last week brought

Photographing this sweet newborn last week brought back so many memories of my own two, both born so close to the holidays. There’s something extra special about holiday babies.
December is fully booked (thank you!), with the unknown of due dates I have a few spots left on my waitlist.
I’m now scheduling for 2025. If you’re expecting, I’d love to create something timeless and beautiful for your family. Let’s capture those first snuggly, sleepy days!
