Happy New Year! As I step into 2026, I’m slowing down, reflecting, and exploring the beauty of heirloom portraiture — timeless, simple images designed to preserve childhood exactly as it is in this fleeting season. This winter creative experiment has me dreaming of what’s next, and I can’t wait to share more of what I’ve been creating.

Getting into the holiday spirit with tree farm mini sessions at Haven Wood Farm in Berryville, VA! Tucked away in Clarke County, this stunning tree farm has the kind of charm that feels pulled straight from a holiday movie — rows of evergreens, open rolling hills, and a peaceful quiet you can only find out in the country.

Crisp fall air, rolling mountain views, and the sweetest family of four. This golden hour session was filled with soft light, tiny baby snuggles, and all the cozy chaos that makes young familyhood so beautiful.
