I'm a natural light photographer specializing in families and children in Loudoun County, Virginia. I have two young boys of my own, so I know how hard it is to capture the perfect family photo. I also know how difficult and uncomfortable children (and parents!) are when they are forced to sit still and pose for traditional photo sessions. Photo sessions with me are relaxed and fun. We may wander downtown Leesburg, or chase ducks at the local park. We will definitely get some pictures of laughter, and we may get a few of pouts or even tears. But when you look back at your pictures after the session, these will probably be some of your favorites. Because we're capturing a moment. And the moments are what life is all about. Session Pricing Starts at $150

Where Did the Summer Go?

I can hardly believe that it’s August 31 today.  This summer has flown by for the Nelson family.  In less than a week, I’ll be welcoming home my first grader from his big first day of school!  As we move into September, I am excited to announce that I am completely booked for weekends through October....
