I believe with a passion that children should be photographed giggling, sliding down bannisters, running, getting into things, rolling in the sand/dirt, 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 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.

family, motherhood & love in Virginia & beyond

"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."

"We had a wonderful experience working with Molly on my maternity photo shoot! She's super good with natural lighting. The pictures came out gorgeous and were exactly what I was going for. Molly is easy to communicate with and helped my camera-shy husband feel at ease during the process"

- Rena

"Molly was literally so amazing. My husband & i are from tx and were needing a photographer for last minute pictures, the first time we scheduled we didn’t end up making it due to having to go out of town & she made effort to fit us right in when we came back. She’s the sweetest person ever. Jt & I lovedddd our pictures!molly is amazing at what she does & we didn’t have not one bad picture"

I get inspiration from things you do in your everyday lives

I'll have you guys walk together, laugh together, and sit cozy & lazy like you might watching Netflix on a Saturday night. I won't be putting you in editorial poses and readjusting you from head to toe, but I'll get those images that are 1000% you because we created real memories instead.

Your session should feel calm and effortless, and there's a good chance your face will hurt from smiling once we're wrapped up! My #1 inspiration is literally you and what makes your love so special.
