Hey there, I’m Melissa. My superpower is to freeze time & create memories that you’ll want to relive for years to come. If you’re looking to book family photos in Richmond or Charlottesville Virginia, you just might be in the right place. My style is natural and joyful photographs.
Time to plan for family photos!
Summer plans are ramping up and family photos in the mountains or any of the other wonderful locations Virginia has to offer, would be the perfect addition to your summer. If you’re a resident, we could also consider portraits at your home. If you’re visiting for vacation, I will help you set up all of the details before you travel so you know exactly what you need.
Time passes so, so fast. If you’re like many, the last time you had family photos may have been when your youngest was a newborn. Let’s not miss any more time. Life is only going to be this way for so long.
