Virginia + North Carolina Family + portrait photographer
hello friend...
I’m Maranda!
I’m a family & portrait photographer serving the NC/VA area (or wherever the love is). It is my mission to create images for you that you can look back on for decades to come and create a space for you that feels comfortable, authentic and inviting while we are working together. I know having photos taken can seem intimidating or stressful, but it doesn’t have to be! I love keeping my sessions fun and letting your love do the talking and I provide you with all the information you need to be prepared for your session or big day!

If you’re here, you are probably searching for the perfect photographer for you... HI!
comfort, emotional connection and a timeless approacch
I believe in capturing the quiet glances, the loud laughter, the messy joy, and the tender connections that make your family uniquely yours.
Preserving all the little details you never want to forget
Families
Maternity
Newborn
When I think about updating family photos, it’s more than just snapping a few photos.. I want you to remember exactly what your babies and you as parents were like during this season of your lives. I want you to look back at these images and think what a precious time it was and be able to see all the little tiny details of who they were and are so they are never forgotten.
Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, full of anticipation, strength, and love. My maternity sessions are designed to celebrate you and the incredible life growing within.
Those first hours & days with your newborn are fleeting and extraordinary. My newborn sessions capture the raw, unscripted beauty of your baby's first moments—whether in the hospital, birthing center, at home or in studio. These sessions focus on the quiet details: tiny toes, first yawns, and the deep connection between you and your newest love.
let's connect!
Whether you envision a serene outdoor shoot or a cozy in-home session, we’ll create timeless images that reflect your unique story. Let’s honor this powerful chapter with portraits that you’ll treasure forever
Love notes
Highly recommended Maranda for all your photography needs!
“She captured our wedding in September and she did an amazing job! She is super awesome to work with and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We couldn't have picked a better photographer to capture our very special day! We will definitely be booking with her again!”

Maranda did my bridals and wedding photos and she did absolutely AMAZING.
She was so sweet and the kindest sole. She listened to my wishes and went above and beyond my expectations! She has wonderful communication and her turn around time for getting our wedding photos back was quick and exactly what she said it would be. I will forever recommend her!

Maranda is extremely talented. We had her do fall family photos this year and she did an amazing job capturing our family and personalities.
Maranda was patient and very good with all of our kids and managed to get them all looking at the same time. No easy task. I will be booking Maranda again for our next session.

We hired Maranda for our wedding & it was the best decision we could have made. She sent us an amazing gallery of photos for our engagement photos & I can’t wait to get our wedding gallery back. She was so helpful, organized, creative & loving. She was there for every special moment of our day! I really couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture our wedding. Thank you so much!!
