ARTHUR TURNS ONE | MILESTONE PHOTOGRAPHER | STAFFORD VIRGINIA

FIRST official outdoor session of 2025 and it was an amazing one! This sweet baby boy celebrated his first birthday and completed has milestone package with me!! I have LOVED every second of our sessions together and his first year flew by in a blink of an eye! I had the absolute pleasure of capturing his milestones every 3 months from birth and just adore this sweet baby. I have known his parents since high school and also had the joy of capturing his big sister’s first year!

I love seeing this family grow and truly am honored to have been there for every milestone for their kiddos! We did a pie smash for his big sis and wanted to keep with that theme! We were super lucky with temperature and the forecast because March can be a very tricky time in Virginia! But the weather was amazing so we moved the session outdoors and started with family photos at the creek. When it came time for the pie, Arthur wasn’t too sure if he liked the creek but staying true to a one year session, we got a fun mix of smirks, cries, and a messy face covered in blueberry pie! It was perfect! Here are some of my faves!

S FAMILY MATERNITY | MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER | WOODBRIDGE VIRGINIA

March maternity sessions can always go one of two ways in Virginia with its crazy weather. HOT or FREEZING and for some reason there never seems to be an in between! This session took place on my birthday so I knew despite the bizzare weather forecast it was going to work out and be amazing. :) All week leading up to our session temps were chilly but manageable but the weekend hit and we were forcasted in the 40’s and WIND!! SO MUCH WIND!! The temp was SO COLD and there were 30+mph wind gusts. Talk about a wild forecast! With maternity sessions, time is not always on our side when the weather is absolutley bonkers! And with weather this year being so unpredictable we trusted our gut and my incredible clients trusted me to work magic!

The entire session was freezing and windy BUT these two ROCKED IT! They embraced the elements and captured increible photos!! At the end this brave mama even braved the freezing water so we could get those gorgeous water shots!! I am so in love with what we captured. I absolutley adore this couple and couldn’t be more excited to photograph their journey into parenthood! Here are my favorites!

R FAMILY | MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER | COLONIAL BEACH VIRGINIA

I have had the pleasure of photographing this family for many years now! We met when they had their gorgeous little girl and have been capturing their memories and milestones ever since. When I found out they were expecting baby girl #2 I was over the moon!! We took full advantage of a flash storm emptying out all of the summer traffic and we had Colonial Beach to ourselves. This session was so much fun to capture and I am obsessed with all of there photos we got!! The best part was getting in the water at the end :) Cannot wait to meet their little girl in just a few short weeks!

Here are some of my favorites:

ELIZABETH IS ONE | MILESTONE PHOTOGRAPHER | STAFFORD VIRGINIA

Sweet Elizabeth is already one!! I cannot believe it! It feels like yesterday that I received the “she’s here” text!! This little beauty is one of my dear friends baby’s and have had the pleasure of watching her grow over the last year. She is such a smiley happy girl and those chunky cheeks are too precious. For her one year session we lucked out with a gorgeous 70ish degree day with incredible glowy light. Bugs weren’t out yet and we just had a blast capturing some stunning photos of this little lady. I cannot wait to see her continue to grow and see her personality continue to shine! Here are some of my faves!!

BABY ISABELLA | NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER | STAFFORD VIRGINIA

Meet sweet baby Isabella! This gorgeous little lady came to see me mid January for her newborn session. She is the daughter of a special friend whose senior photos I shot many many years ago!! I couldn’t believe how fast those years have gone and getting to see her become a mommy is such an amazing gift. This little girl is so loved by her mom and dad and it is clear they are going to be phenomenal parents. And lets be honest they made one ADORABLE kiddo!

My favorite thing about working with new parents is having the ability to connect and hear all about their journey to parenthood. Everyone’s story is unique and I love being able to share in their excitement. Those sleepless nights and newborn cuddles dont last forever and being able to savor them is so important! In a matter of weeks this sweet girl will have hit new milestones and changed and I am thrilled we were able to capture these when she was 13 days new.

Check out some highlight from our session!! And if you are interested in learning more about my newborn sessions shoot me a message!
