About Portrait Sessions

All collections include hand-edited high resolution digital images with two download options - one with full resolution images ready for printing, the other with social media sized images ready to share online. All photos are delivered in password-protected online galleries with download, sharing, and printing privileges and easy access to optional print purchases through a service integrated into your photo gallery.

Travel within 30 minutes of Broadway, VA included for all sessions. Travel fees waived for Warrenton on select dates. For standard portrait sessions, you can expect a multi-image sneak peek within 48 hours and a full gallery delivery time of 2 - 3 weeks. All packages subject to Virginia sales tax.

Returning clients (for both weddings and portrait sessions) receive discounted sessions!

We're grateful you're here. 
Let's jump in.

We want each of our clients to have the best experience with us. Thus, we take a limited number of sessions per year. We would love one of those sessions to be you!

Senior sessions are some of our favorites because they’re all about capturing you—your personality, your passions, and what makes you unique. We want your photos to stand out, reflecting who you are in a way that feels natural and authentic. That’s why we love incorporating meaningful locations, like your family farm or a special park, and personal touches—whether it’s your favorite books, sports gear, or anything that represents you. Let’s create something that’s truly yours!
