Family, Maternity, and Newborn Photography in Richmond, VA
If you’ve been here for a while, this might feel redundant, but after a full year (sigh) of not seeing many people, I won’t assume you know who I am anymore. So, allow me to (re) introduce myself and why I’m here, which might answer the question of why you’re here. Let’s actually start by […]

“HELLO ALLISON!!!!” I heard a small voice shout through the screen door as I pulled my gear out of the car. “MY NAME IS AVERY!!!” I walked around the house to the backyard while Avery and Stephanie finished getting ready inside.

Last week was my daughter’s first week of daycare. I went through the full range of emotions, including but not limited to guilt, elation, sadness, doubt, and freedom (freedom is an emotion), all on repeat.

Then, I use software to edit those photos on my computer. Afterwards, I present those edited photos to you in an […]

I’ve mentioned before that I’m working on a “shoot around the house” project this spring. I actually started this 100 day project on Valentine’s Day, a whole month before we went into isolation procedures, and I had no idea when I started that it would be the way I would cling to photography this spring.

My two year old is in a properly curious stage. He loves to go into my office and stare at the books and doo-dads on the bookcase, admiring all of “Mama’s books.” He’ll sometimes ask me to pull down big old photo albums for him because he likes the color of the bindings. Inevitably, he […]

Angie’s eyes were wide with questions and a little anxiety when she grabbed me after church on Sunday. “HOW did you get a year’s worth of photos into one album?” She was referring to my social media post on Saturday, where I showed off my new milestone album. It features 10 spreads (20 pages) of […]
