Maternity Session: Shavona | Mariah Springs Photography | Danville, Virginia Photography

These maternity sessions are making my jaw drop! Look at all of the gorgeousness. I seriously cannot wait for this precious baby's arrivals so I can take some sweet Mommy & Me shots and some Daddy kisses and some little toes along with that sweet little face! There is no doubt that this child will be gorgeous; I mean, look at the parents! Stunning! Loved everything about this session! 

A Very Special Maternity Story: Summer | Mono/Di Twins | Mariah Springs Photography | Danville, Virginia Photographer

A Very Special Maternity Story: Summer | Mono/Di Twins | Mariah Springs Photography | Danville, Virginia Photographer

It was a Sunday. I had just come home from church and was stressing about who knows what—the laundry, work, my child, the dog. I never really check my inquiries on Sundays, but for some reason on this particular Sunday, I sat down at my computer to check them. It was then that I met Summer. It was then that I hung my head in tears and prayer for her, for our world, for all of the strong Mamas out there that I admire so much, and it was then that my troubles became nothing. I snapped into reality and was incredibly humbled, moved, and in awe of Summer and women who endure such tragedy.

Hudson is ONE! From his gorgeous in-home session all the way through his 3 months, Sitter session (6-7 months), 9 months, AND 1 Year Session, this little man has been a pure JOY! He is one from my first round of First Year Plans ever, and let me tell you, its the pure joy that I get from getting to know these sweet babies and their families that makes me continue with my First Year Plans! Hudson is a doll! He can light up a room with his smile and those pretty eyes! Happy birthday, little man!

Maternity Session: Tafton | Mariah Springs Photography | Danville, Virginia Photographer |

Eeek! When in bloom, must use! THIS SESSION! YES YES! So, yes, I was that crazy person in the pouring down snow (that's right it SNOWED this day randomly) cutting off this branch from the tree in my front yard. I bet everyone riding by got a hoot out of that (because I'm less than graceful ha!). But you guys, LOOK at these. They turned out so PERFECT! I love the colors and the simplicity and that SWEET EMMA! I just can't. I'm so in love and can't wait to meet their newest addition.

Jericho's Visit to Home Depot

Jericho's Visit to Home Depot

I've been on a roll doing all of the shoots and ideas that have been on my mind! I just simply haven't had the time, but guess what? I'm making the time now! This stuff has been too much fun to NOT do! I love this boy right here, and he's only this little for a very short while, so hey, let's throw on a tool belt, some overalls, and a hat and go say hey to some folks over at Home Depot. And let me tell you, we may have looked like some crazy people, but he made a lot of people smile this day...including me. 

Our Saturday: An Easter Egg Story

Our Saturday: An Easter Egg Story

I often have to stop and remember just why I started taking photos in the first place. Sure, I thought it was fun and creative, but I originally started taking photos because I knew that I would have kids of my own one day, and I wanted to document our lives together. I am not only an organic portrait photographer, but I’m a lifestyle photographer too. I call my style a combination of the two, and I absolutely LOVE capturing the little things in life like this: our Saturday coloring Easter eggs together in the kitchen! 

Mommy & Me Specials 2017

Mommy & Me Specials 2017

This was one of my FAVORITE days EVER as a photographer. I am in LOVE with these images. So, I offered a special with the launch of my new studio for Mommy & Me photos this year. This special came with digital images and access to my studio wardrobe, and let me tell you, these ladies ROCKED it! I loved this day and these images so much that I am DEFINITELY going to start offering this special annually. I can't wait for next year's sessions already! You ladies are GORGEOUS both inside and out, and I am so thrilled that you have these images that will last a lifetime. Your children will cherish these when they are older and will pass them down to their children. Thats the beauty of photography...freezing time for just a moment.

A Painting Party with My Jericho

A Painting Party with My Jericho

I find myself constantly telling people that their babies "are only little once," and I realized that I've been working so much that I've neglected to hold onto my own memories lately. I wanted to take photos of my boy, but he's getting older and more annoyed by photos each day (ha!), so I needed something that would not only allow us to spend some time together, but something he would think was COOL and FUN! And we nailed it! Jericho had a blast and now has his first painting to hang in his room!
