Some seasons are busier than others. Typically, I recommend booking portrait sessions at least one month in advance. For lavender portraits, if you are in need of a weekend date, I recommend reserving as early as January 1st. October fills fast, so at least 2-3 month's notice is recommended. Weddings are typically booked about one year out. For at-home newborn sessions, you can get in touch as early as you'd like, we will put your estimated due date on the calendar and I will keep my schedule flexible around baby's due date!

The editing is where the magic happens! I edit all of my photos before putting them in your galleries, I do not give out RAW files. My editing style is light and bold. I like my lights light and my darks dark, which creates creamy skin tones and deep contrast to my final images.

My shooting style is relaxed, fun & spontaneous. I do a mix of posed and candid shots during sessions, and love shooting the landscape we are in just as much as the portraits. While I offer posing tips throughout our time together, I also like to sit back in order to document your family's authentic interactions.  I will not be wearing cute clothing because more often than not, I will be on the ground before our shoot is up in order to get eye-level with the younger (and sometimes four-legged!) members of the group.

Field & Farm portraits are my most popular sessions located at Seven Oaks Lavender Farm during their peak lavender season in the month of June. Seven Oaks is a gorgeous pick-your-own lavender farm near Gainesville, Virginia. I have worked alongside owners, Deb & Edith, for seven years now and serve as their farm photographer, shop worker and product maker. It is one of my all-time favorite portrait locations - if you've taken a look at my gallery pages, you'll see a lot of sample images!
