I wonder if your kids will remember this part. No I wonder if your kids will remember this part.

Not the details of the day. Not what everyone was wearing. Not where you went or what you ate for dinner.

But this.

Being little enough to climb onto Dad's shoulders.

Being wrapped around Mom.

Walking down a familiar path together.

Feeling completely safe because your whole world is standing right there beside you.

We spend so much time trying to make sure our kids remember the big things.

The birthdays.
The vacations.
The first days of school.
The holidays.

But childhood is really made up of thousands of ordinary moments that we don't realize are extraordinary until they're gone.

One day, these boys won't fit in their parents' arms like this.

They won't reach for Mom's hand.

They won't ask Dad to carry them.

And this family will look different than it does right now.

That's why I love family photography.

Not because I need everyone perfectly posed and smiling at the camera.

I want to give you photographs that take you right back to what it felt like to be a family in this exact season of your life.

Because this season is going to go by much faster than you think.

So I'm curious...

What is something your kids do right now that you hope you never forget?

There are some things you don't realize you'll wan There are some things you don't realize you'll want a photograph of until years later.

Like this.

Your hand wrapped around your baby's tiny hand.

Your wedding ring still on your finger.

The hand that has held your partner's hand, wiped tears, changed diapers, carried a car seat, rubbed a sleepy back and probably done approximately 47 things at the same time.

And now it's holding the tiniest hand you've ever held.

I think that's one of my favorite things about newborn photography.

Yes, we photograph their little noses and their eyelashes and their toes.

But I also want to remember you.

The new mom who may be exhausted.

The mom who is still figuring everything out.

The mom who can't believe this tiny person is actually hers.

The mom who doesn't feel like herself yet, but is already everything to someone else.

Because someday those tiny fingers won't fit inside yours anymore.

And someday you may look back at this photograph and realize just how much changed in that season of your life.

If you could freeze one thing about this stage of motherhood forever, what would it be?

The tiny hands? The snuggles? The way they sleep on your chest? The way they reach for you?

I want to know. ❤️
One day, you’re going to miss this. Not necessari One day, you’re going to miss this.

Not necessarily the sleepless nights or the endless laundry or having someone constantly attached to your hip.

But this.

The little hand reaching for yours.

The way your baby grabs onto you without even thinking about it. The way they fit against your chest. The little things they do every single day that you don't realize are becoming memories while you're living them.

And I think that's one of the hardest things about motherhood.

We're so busy getting through the day that we don't always recognize the moments we're going to wish we could go back to.

This is why I love photographing details like this.

Not every meaningful photograph needs to show everyone's face.

Sometimes it's a tiny hand wrapped around Mom's arm.

Sometimes it's the way Dad holds a baby's head.

Sometimes it's the little feet that won't stay still.

Those photographs tell a story too.

And years from now, when your baby isn't a baby anymore, you may not remember exactly what you were doing that afternoon.

But you'll remember how small that hand felt in yours.

What is one little thing your child does right now that you know you'll miss someday?

Tell me. I want to hear them.
Almost 16 years doing this. It sounds crazy saying Almost 16 years doing this. It sounds crazy saying it out loud #charlottesvillenewbornphotographer
These are the moments I want you to remember. The These are the moments I want you to remember.

The way they laugh together. The little ones who can't sit still. The way your kids still reach for your hand. The personalities that change so quickly from one year to the next.

Family photos don't have to be perfectly posed or perfectly behaved. In fact, some of my favorite images happen in between the poses.

Just your family, exactly as you are right now.
Okay, I need to know what you think… If I offered Okay, I need to know what you think…

If I offered a few VERY limited studio mini sessions in November for holiday photos, would you want one?

I'm thinking something simple and beautiful in the studio, with a holiday-inspired setup that feels classic and timeless rather than overly themed.

Perfect for updated family photos, Christmas cards, grandparents, gifts, or just because you want beautiful photographs of your kids during this season of their lives.

I know many of you have asked about family photos, and I'm already completely booked for regular family sessions for the remainder of 2026.

So I'm considering opening a very small number of studio mini sessions in November.

Before I plan anything, I want to hear from you.

Would you be interested?

And if so, would you prefer:

A. Early November
B. Mid November
C. Late November

Tell me in the comments. I really want to see if there is enough interest before I decide whether to offer them.
A full session is everything ❤️ #charlottesvillene A full session is everything ❤️ #charlottesvillenewbornphotographer
