Something I've been sitting with lately: I want t Something I've been sitting with lately:

I want to build something that feels worth returning to.

Not just technically good work, which I care about deeply, but a whole experience that families actually feel at ease inside of. Where parents leave thinking 'that was so much better than I expected.'

That's the thing I keep coming back to as I make changes this year. Not bigger. Not fancier. Just better, in the ways that actually matter to the people in front of my camera.

I'm still figuring out the shape of it. But I wanted to say it out loud, because I think the families I want to work with will get it.
If you've been quietly wondering whether your baby If you've been quietly wondering whether your baby will 'do well' at a session, this one's for you.

I've been doing this for over 15 years, and I also spent years as a NICU nurse before I ever picked up a camera. I've learned that the parents who worry the most are usually the ones most present in the room. That presence shows up in the images.

There's no version of your baby that isn't worth photographing.

Which of these slides felt most like something you needed to hear? Drop a number in the comments (2, 3, or 4) for the slide that landed, or feel free to send me a message if something came up for you while reading this.
There is a version of motherhood that looks polish There is a version of motherhood that looks polished and put-together.

And then there's the real one.

The one where you haven't slept more than two hours in a row. Where you're not sure if you're doing it right. Where you love this baby more than you knew was possible and also desperately miss being able to eat a meal while it's warm.

That version is the one I'm thinking about.

If you're in it right now, I see you. This season is heavy and beautiful and exhausting in ways nobody fully prepares you for.

You don't have to have it together to deserve to be remembered in it.
They don’t stay this little… but somehow it happen They don’t stay this little… but somehow it happens faster than you expect.

Watching families come back for milestone sessions like this is one of my favorite parts of what I do. From those brand-new newborn snuggles to a curious, personality-filled 9-month-old—it’s always the same baby, but everything has changed.

If you’ve been thinking about documenting this stage, this is your sign.

Every newborn session starts a little unpredictabl Every newborn session starts a little unpredictable.

Tiny humans run the show — not me 😅

But this moment right here?
This is why we take our time.
This is why I don’t rush your session.

The calm always comes.

And when it does… it’s magic.
Parents always tell me before their session: “I’m Parents always tell me before their session:
“I’m so nervous my baby won’t cooperate.”

But newborn sessions are slow, calm, and completely baby-led.

There’s time for feeding, snuggles, diaper changes, and breaks.

The magic isn’t perfection — it’s creating timeless images during this tiny season that goes by way too fast.

Your baby does not need to be “perfect” for beautiful portraits.
That’s my job 🤍

Save this if you’re expecting.

Every session you see starts here—layers of wraps, Every session you see starts here—layers of wraps, tiny outfits, headbands, and more baskets than I can count.

Organized? Depends on the day.
Functional? Always.

But this is where the magic actually begins #charlottesvillephotographer #charlottesvillenewbornphotographer
Boston bound ✈️🏃‍♀️ I am flying out today and I’m Boston bound ✈️🏃‍♀️

I am flying out today and I’m officially heading to Boston getting ready for Monday… I’ll be running the Boston Marathon this year! My bib number is 22769 if you want to track along.

I know so many of you have followed my running journey over the years, and it means so much to have your support—whether you’re cheering from home or just popping into my stories this weekend. I’ll be sharing lots of behind-the-scenes, race prep, and (let’s be honest) probably some nerves too.

This one feels special.
