Meant to be in every way possible. ♥️ When you meet Kathryn and Ty you immediately feel like you matter - it’s really a special thing the way they pour love and kindness into people. It was amazing to watch all the LOVE they give so beautifully returned to them on their wedding day. It was an honor to capture and spend the day with them. My heart is full, my life rich for knowing them. 🥰

In 2013, I embarked on a journey that would forever shape my life and career. Signing my first dance studio contract with the Brandon Ballet was more than just a professional milestone; it was the moment I discovered my deep love for dance photography. Capturing the grace, strength, and emotion of dancers has been a sincere passion ever since.
Fast forward to today, I have been working towards my Mastery Certificates and that has offered me some awesome opportunities to submit my work. I’m so excited to share that my studio photography work with Stavna Ballet was recognized on an international stage. I am beyond honored (and still a bit giddy!) to have placed 1st AND 2nd in the NAPCP International Portrait Competition in the Studio Portraiture category!
This achievement is incredibly special to me because dance photography holds such a joyful place in my heart. Every session, every dancer, every moment captured is a testament to the beauty and artistry of dance and I love to see that art combined with the artistry of photography.
I am so super grateful to my clients, past and present, who have trusted me to preserve their memories and showcase their talent. Your support and belief in my vision fuel my creativity and passion every day.
Thank you @sliceoflimephoto & @lillianfparker who assisted me at these sessions and are two photographers who inspire me everyday
And the most special thank you to @elinorfollmer & @maeve.kd for sharing your talent with me <3
Thank you to the judges & @napcp 💛
My sweet Addy..
I have had the absolute privilege and JOY to have this sweet girl in front of my lens since 2018! I have LOVED watching her grow into such a lovely young girl lady!

In March we celebrate women, strong women💪
National Rosie the Riveter Day honors the women who stepped up during World War II and completely shifted what was possible. They didn’t just fill roles… they redefined them.
I live for the “We Can Do It!” energy! And guess what friends?
It is Still here. Still showing up.
I see it in so many of you every day… building, leading, loving, pushing forward… and it makes my heart so happy ❤️
📸 @missscaseyface - this is for you, always leading, loving, building, growing and being badass. 💪
We had an outdoor plan… but Virginia weather had something else in mind. As we waited inside the venue for the clouds to roll by I wanted to make the most of our time together.Girl.. I got you, let’s make some magic! This is why you hire a photographer who knows how to adapt and make it work 😉 FYI.. @emily.berger6 .. you nailed it 🔥
Little did I know one idea could turn into this…
a journey, a gathering, a moment I’ll carry with me for a long time.
An idea → a portrait → a plane ticket → a gallery wall →
surrounded by the people I love, celebrating something that began quietly and grew wings.
Atlanta, the walls, the laughter, the togetherness… all of it made my heart very happy. 🤍
Endlessly grateful to NAPCP for honoring this all of our work and the stories behind it.
Welcome to my sweet studio 🩵 Bookings are open for professional headshots, fine art portraits, Senior formals, family sessions and so much more! Come get cozy and spend some time with us! (we have tea and snacks 😊)

2016
10 years in a blink of an eye
So many things the same, some different - I relocated from Florida to Virginia.. leaving was hard.. many tears were shed. Moving to a town where I didn’t know ANYONE was one of the scariest things I’ve ever done.. BUT I did it and since then I’ve rebranded, my studio has a home in the heart of @independencegolfclub ( the BEST family a gal could ask for!), I have made RVA home and have found family and community I never knew in 2016 even existed.
Still in ❤️ with photographing seniors
Still rocking the cateyes 👓
still very very VERY much love what I do! 📷
2025. You were good to me 💛 You brought me happiness, health, the most kindest clients and the most bestest partner in crime- Natalie.
Thank you to all my clients who trust me with these precious moments. I’m forever grateful to be a part of your stories. 💛
