It’s HARD to think of at home family activities that will keep the kids happy and the parents sane! In each new phase of parenting, I find myself poking around Google and Pinterest trying to find ideas that will keep us occupied and connected — and off of screens. For Father’s Day last year, I […]
For the last several years, my bread and butter has been at-home family sessions. HOWEVER. There are times when a home session just doesn’t make sense. Some families are into travel and adventure, some have outside passions they want to incorporate into their photos, some homes are under construction, and sometimes families just DON’T WANT […]
I know a lot of us are ready for spring, but like it or not, snow is in the forecast for tomorrow. This might be the last snowy week of the year (hopefully?), so why not take some time to capture your family’s snow day vibes? The images will become more and more special over […]
If you’re spending 2025 spring break in Richmond, VA, check out my ideas for family spring break activities! I’ll share what to explore in RVA and the surrounding areas, as well as ways to keep the kiddos occupied if you’re staycationing or working from home. I have only traveled for spring break one time in […]
Meet the Moeslein family. They recently did an at-home family photo session with me, and absolutely CRUSHED IT with their outfit choices.

Winter family sessions often take place at home because the February landscape isn’t so inviting where […]

When Abby and I were in the process of planning their at-home family photo session, she mentioned that her 21 month old, Gabe, loves to cook, so she wanted to get some shots of their little family making breakfast together. I thought she meant that he liked cooking the way my kids liked cooking at […]
The thing I love most about this session is how naturally it unfolded with so little prompting from me. We are able to get quite a few shots of the whole family together without me really posing or directing anyone, which is so rare! It was really more like a documentary family photo session than […]
In the last few months, I’ve fallen in love with the possibilities of natural light studio photography, especially for families who love that lifestyle photography approach. I had the opportunity to photograph the Latham family a few weeks back, just after Christmas, and I just love how these turned out. So much joy and connection, […]
this time of year is perfect for my favorite kind of in-home lifestyle family photography session. Bare feet, window light, cozy sweaters. Maybe a cup of coffee or tea. It’s all about the hygge vibes of being cuddled up with family.
