VIRGINIA WEDDING & FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi! I'm Molly

that's my why

My nana has one of those beautiful, detailed, perfect, silly, sit around the fireplace for hours kind of love stories that every now and then over a holiday, someone will ask her to tell again. Out come the photo albums, and even though we have all heard this story and seen these photos so many times, we are captivated. What a gift it is to be able to feel the love from a time I wasn't around for. Photos remind us, they are evidence of the way we loved each other and the things we loved - they make us go, "oh my gosh remember when...!"

and when done right, they ground us in what is really important to us in a time when it is so easy to let the day to day take over the magic in our lives.

I believe with my whole heart that your life & your relationships are a work of art, and I truly want you to see your story as beautiful & unique as I see it. My photography is honest, straight from the heart, and full of joy & love.

Families & couples in love.

based in virginia and traveling wherever your story leads us

it's all about capturing how you felt. 20 years from now, what we have to help us remember are the photos

here's the thing

Time is a thief and someday these images are going to be someone's old photos.

Think about those old albums your parents have. Those photos are timeless, they feel like a warm hug from another time, they put a smile on your face... Why? Because they aren't trying too hard to be perfect, and they show your loved ones as they are in the little moments that tell a story. That's what I want to give to you. That's the kind of work your story deserves :)

Molly captured organic moments....laughing, playing, just being us....the camera seemed to disappear

Molly gave us exactly what we were looking for- a casual, mostly candid depiction of our life in our home with our new baby. We will cherish these photos forever.

The closson family

From the very first chat, we felt so comfortable, like we were talking to an old friend. She's so down-to-earth and truly gets what you envision for your special day.

love notes

before you keep reading...

I want to give you photos that feel authentic to you, focusing on the memories that you'll treasure decades from now. We see so many photo trends come and go - but if there's one thing I'm so confident about it's that you and your genuine feelings, laughter, tears, whatever it is, will never ever go out of style.

I could just bring all of my couples and families to the same beach or field and run through the same series of poses, but where is the fun in that? There would be no life to those images, and isn't that why we're both here? To hold in your hands proof of a life spent loving, laughing, feeling our feelings, hugging our loved ones, holding each other tight, running barefoot through the sand, taking tequila shots, watching our babies giggle and learn about the world, and everything in between.

To give you images that feel like alllll of that + more, there has to be mutual trust and a willingness to do this together. If you're down to share with me what kinds of memories make your heart beat a little faster, we'll be a great fit.
