FAMILY, MOTHERHOOD & LOVE FROM VIRGINIA BEACH TO CHARLOTTESVILLE
I believe with a passion that children should be photographed giggling, sliding down bannisters, running, getting into things, rolling in the sand, getting food on their faces, belly laughing, playing in the waves at the beach, laying on mamas lap in no particular way, messing with their siblings, and just being.
I am a family photographer who loves the real stuff, the documentary, the baby dimples, the rosy cheeks, the messy hair, the family pets, the dishes in the sink, the in-betweens, and all the little details we lose over time that make each day in this world so sweet. If you felt a little piece of you light up, keep reading.
I KNOW HOW VULNERABLE IT FEELS TO SHOW UP FOR FAMILY PHOTOS
When it comes to planning family sessions, I want everyone comfortable and happy even more than I want the best light. I love to recommend spots your kids get excited about and are already comfortable with, and outings they enjoy. My family sessions are very child-led and unstructured, with plenty of time for meltdowns (which are so common and do not phase me!), running around, taking it easy, and yes! plenty of "smiling at the camera" photos I know mean the world to you.

love note from clients,
Molly was such a fun photographer to work with. I have a 4 year old, 2 year old, and 4 month old and she captured the busy-ness and magic of this stage of life with them! The candid photos were unbelievable and the pictures were more precious and special than I could have imagined!

We found Molly through a friend’s recommendation to shoot our daughter’s newborn photos. She had me fill out a questionnaire prior to the shoot to give her an idea of our vibes and style of photos we wanted. Molly gave us EXACTLY what we were looking for- a casual, mostly candid depiction of our life in our home with our new baby. She was so kind and patient with us, as we needed to stop multiple times to breastfeed. Her close-ups of our baby are so precious. We will cherish these photos forever. Thank you, Molly!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Molly shoot our engagement photos! Molly's friendly, relaxed, and easy-going demeanor put us at ease and allowed us to fully soak in the experience and have fun. The photos were everything we could have hoped for and more and turned out absolutely stunning! Highly recommend <3

How we got amazing photos with a 2 year old that was OUT FOR BLOOD is absolutely beyond me. Molly came through with two camera awkward adults, a grumpy toddler, and a 7 year old comedian. Thank you so much for capturing our little family in the best way. I am so thankful to have these moments in pictures.

Molly was wonderful! She did a maternity shoot for my partner and I and the photos came out better than I could ever imagine. The angles and the lighting and everything was just perfect. Thank you Molly for a wonderful experience and making our greatest journey that much better! Highly recommend her to anybody!
