Richmond family photographer

Family

As a family photographer in Richmond Virginia and a mom to a redheaded little boy, I know all to well the anxiety of taking family photos. This is why I take pride in providing a laidback portrait experience for you and your family. 

My approach is to allow your children to lead our session (or sometimes the husband) and to guide you with what I like to call playful posing. If your children want to explore, we will explore. If your kiddos want to be cuddled, then we will cuddle. It's all about them while getting photos you will love!

THE FAMILY EXPERIENCE

I recommend scheduling your family session about 1-2 months in advance, especially during peak seasons like spring and fall when availability fills up quickly. Planning ahead ensures you have flexibility with dates and can find the perfect time to capture your family at its best.

WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY SESSION?

Choosing outfits for your family session doesn’t have to be stressful!

After booking, you’ll also receive my style guide and access to a Pinterest mood board with outfit inspiration.

WHAT DO I WEAR?

If you’re not sure where to go, don’t worry! I provide a curated list of beautiful locations to choose from, with options ranging from open fields and woodlands to cozy, in-town spots and scenic overlooks.

what location should i choose?

Yes! I travel up to a 50 mile radius free of charge from King George, VA.
