CHARLOTTESVILLE & CROZET PHOTOGRAPHER READY TO CAPTURE YOUR next BIG MOMENT
Meet Adele
Fall in love with your loves & life all over again!
I know the meaning of remembering important moments
As a solo, couples, children, and family photographer, I capture the images that frame your milestone moments beautifully, no matter how big or small. Whether it's a couple's quiet love story in Crozet, a growing family's chapter as they enjoy the early years in Ivy, or your toddler's fleeting little-kid years living near the Blue Ridge mountains, my hope is that you'll look upon your images with fondness and happiness, remembering where you were in time in these chapters of your treasured story that is all your own!
– Annie Leibovitz
It's one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like, it's another thing to make a portrait of who they are.
Many people are camera shy or tend not to know how to place your hands or sit in a way that accompanies your mood… let me be your guide by finding the best lighting, framing, and feel so that you bring in your natural glow with the contentment, purpose, and expression that makes you… YOU.
From deep family connection to professional purpose, I look past the surface to bring your true story to light.
You live life in a fast, spontaneous flow. You snap phone selfies and capture daily silliness—and you should! But how do you truly honor your most defining milestones when phone quality falls short? And how do you capture that genuine, radiant glow you see in your kids every day without them freezing up for a camera?
That is where I come in. I don't just take pictures; I capture the warmth, the depth, and the authentic energy of the people you love most, creating art out of your real life.
Let’s Capture Your spark!
preserving the beautiful chapters of your life
About your photographer, Adele.
I feel such a deep honor and sense of purpose taking your portraits in gorgeous lighting surrounded by stunning, natural surroundings to help you to recall the fond times and special memories that hold the most meaning for you!
When I was a little girl, I remember looking at photographs of my family and noticing how they evoked a sense of timelessness. I wondered about these people in my world… how they felt, what they thought about, and how they loved each other. I was especially drawn to photographs because they were a split second in time that would never happen again… and I was curious about what the people in the images were saying to each other, or how they felt on special occasions, or the way that style shaped the way they dressed in their time of youth. We cannot always go back in time, but portraits and images can recapture our stories and recall the special moments that truly tell our story, like a fingerprint.

Photography is my passion outside of my full time work as a counselor ~ it seems they are related in understanding emotions & reflecting them back to my clients.
When I edit and develop client’s galleries, I always give it a day to let them rest & come back with fresh eyes before sending them to you.
My favorite part of photographing people is hearing their laughter ~ that is where the magic is!
