Family, Maternity, and Newborn Photography in Richmond, VA
It’s a funny thing, when you become an aunt or uncle. At least for me, being very new to this experience, I’ve found a new connection to my brother and sister-in-law that I didn’t have before. When I arrived at their Norfolk home in January, a mere two weeks after my niece was born, I […]

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.

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 […]

If you’ve ever shopped for picture frames to hang photos in your home, you may have balked at the price of said frames and gotten discouraged from creating your gallery. Discouragement due to lack of options or cost can stall a project indefinitely, which is no good when you just need to get stuff done. […]
