Virginia & Eastern North Carolina
Portrait Photography

Joyful portrait photography meant to be an heirloom and legacy to your family.

Have you ever stopped to wonder what your great-grandparents’ lives were like? Maybe you have some pictures that have remained in your family that help tell your family’s story. Maybe you have pictures of your parents and grandparents that you can use to revisit life in the past with them as they share their story with you and your children. In this day and age, there are fewer and fewer printed photographs of people. If we lost our ability to pull up our images on our cell phones or social media to share with our kids about what they were like when they were little, an entire generation would be without any images of themselves throughout their childhood and into adulthood.

I have this picture sitting on my desk as a reminder that I need to print my pictures. Someone in my family took this picture of my cousin and I snuggling in with our Mamaw. I don’t remember this moment at all. But being able to see this moment in print is such a gift.

Session Tip Guide

The beauty of a moment is that it’s fleeting. By its very nature, it slips through our fingers, making it that much more precious.

Should I get my hair and makup done?

 highly recommend having your hair and makeup professionally done. Even if you don’t wear a lot of make-up a professional make-up artist can even out skin tone and accentuate your eyes. It will make you feel more confident in front of the camera, and will make your skin glow in your images.
