I CAPTURE STORIES OF AUTHENTIC CONNECTION & UNRIVALED LOVE.

YOUR STORY IS WORTH PRESERVING.


Parenthood is beautiful, yet messy. Completely love-filled, but challenging. So often days feel as if they creep by, yet then suddenly, they have all passed. Parenthood is fleeting… Let’s preserve the beautiful chaos of real moments in your life.

Maggie Williams Photography, Charlottesville, VA

Having Maggie photograph our family was a dream. I don't think my family members were expecting to have so much fun having their photos taken! The images Maggie has created for our family will be cherished forever. She was able to portray so accurately and beautifully our family and our relationships with one another, and she captured so many treasured details about our children in these images that can now be preserved and enjoyed for years to come.

A beautiful compilation of images telling the story of real folks. It feels like a visual version of folk music; sweet, true, plain and honest and hauntingly beautiful.

The Experience

  1. Let’s get to know each other! Send me an email and we’ll schedule a time to chat. I want to hear all about the stage of life you’re in and what you envision for your photos!

2. Once we decide we’re a good fit, the magic begins!

You’ll be involved in the creative planning so we can make your photos as true to you as possible. But don’t worry! I’ll be there to offer guidance every step of the way! From location, to wardrobe, to taking care of your little ones during a session, I’ll be there to lend support. I’ll also send you an in-depth questionnaire to help me get to know you better.

3. During our time together, you can expect gentle guidance, lots of encouragement, and a tender heart.

4. After your session, I’ll add a touch more magic to your photos and your perfectly curated gallery slideshow will be delivered right to your inbox. You’ll be able to download your high-resolution photos comfortably from your own home.

“Maggie is incredible. She is so kind and makes you feel completely comfortable and loved while she gently gives you tips on where to sit and angle yourself for the best outcome. Having just done a session with Maggie, I left feeling amazing, empowered and beautiful. Seeing the photos from our session for the first time literally took my breath away, the quality of her photos is simply magical and I will treasure them always.”

A CELEBRATION OF BODIES

Our bodies are incredible. As parents, our bodies are used to nurture, provide for, and to love our children. Many parents’ bodies grow and nourish tiny human beings. Every body changes throughout life. Every body remains unique and beautiful. Every body deserves to be celebrated. Take the time to practice true self acceptance and honor your body just as it is during this stage of life.

If you’re growing a baby, let’s document your glorious belly and shed some love on any other transformations that accompany your journey into parenthood. Those who have just given birth, let’s pay homage to your incredible body—perfect and swollen, milk-stained or scarred, yet so in love with the masterpiece it has created. Those of you who are months or years deep into parenthood, let’s celebrate the wonderful and the messy adventures that come with being a parent. Let’s love your gorgeous body exactly how it is and preserve the connection you have built with your child.

These sessions are for all parents—expectant, birthing, non-birthing, adoptive—you all deserve to be celebrated.
