“To Have and to Hold”

They’re powerful words, aren’t they? They symbolize the beginning of a journey, and follow us through our lives as we live them alongside those we cherish. They ring true through generations, through having children and holding them, through ups and downs, highs and lows. And they’re the words that come to mind when I think of the value of memories. They should be tangible, for yourself and for others- “to have and to hold.”

As the daughter of a professional photographer turned professional photographer myself, I have had many years of experience both in front of and behind a camera. Unless you have model experience, chances are it is somewhat intimidating to have your photos taken professionally. Rest assured, you are not alone! Even seasoned photographers like myself can be incredibly camera shy, but the trick is to be prepared, be comfortable, and be confident.

I’ve had my own family photos done enough times to know that being self-conscious (especially as a woman) is a real thing. With a little forethought and the guidance of a professional photographer, you can definitely avoid the awkward angles and unflattering posing. When it comes down to it, if you don’t love the way you look in your photos, then you won’t love them, want to display them, and get that continual investment that I want you to have.

That’s why I am committed to making you look your best and feel your best during your family session. And in the end, I promise I will deliver my very best work to you. If you are a sentimental soul looking for high-quality heirloom pieces to pass on to your children, then you're in the right place. My dream is for every family to have tangible symbols of a life well lived, a family well loved. From basic prints, to albums, wall art and more, I am a full service Richmond family photographer.
