Family, Maternity, and Newborn Photography in Richmond, VA
A couple of weeks ago, I introduced albums as a beautiful, simple way to keep your photos together after a family or newborn session. They look amazing together in a book, and you can look at them anytime you remember that you want to look at them and remove them from the shelf. Albums are […]

I felt a little click-baity writing the title for today’s blog. The Truth About Aspect Ratio. Like there’s some sort of dramatic reveal.

I’ve had the privilege of watching this blended family grow and transform in so many beautiful ways, and I want to tell you about them while I introduce you to their newest member.

Way back in August, I decided to update the gallery wall in the family room. I’d been printing photos for months, and it was time to put them in frames and update our look. I took down the old photos and then went to the beach. Then when we returned, I didn’t rehang new photos. […]
