I haven’t had time to post much here lately, but I’ve been enjoying lots of horse shoots and lots of sunflower shoots this summer! If you missed out on sunflowers, by the way,, just shoot me your email address and I’ll be sure to send you sunflower booking dates for 2021 as soon as I have those set up. I’ve also created some new blocks of fall mini-sessions specials to accommodate everyone who might be looking for Christmas card photos—check those out on my offerings page.
Spring is here!
I’m enjoying a busy spring, between engagements, petting farm portrait specials at Flat Creek Farm in Amelia, and a few maternity shoots. It’s been great meeting everyone! You can follow along for the latest work on my Facebook page.
2021 Update!
Alright friends, I have my 2021 updates up on my site! I've created a few new offerings for regular sessions and mini sessions, plus a few specials for spring and Christmas that you can book any time here online. This year will be a little different from the usual--I'm doing some added coursework, so between that and my full-time job, I will be running at about half my usual photography capacity until 2022 so that I can properly keep up with things. However, I plan to add a few more blocks of mini sessions in order to accommodate as many of you as possible, especially for the fall season season for those seeking Christmas cards and family portraits, and I'm looking forward to seeing you!
I have too many fall sessions to share here, but I’ve scheduled daily posts for the next few months on Facebook, so follow along there if you’d like to see some of my recent work.
Family photos at the beach!
I love it when clients ask me to help them make their vision come true—this family had hoped for pink skies and beach photos, and that’s what we got! It was a nice chance for me to get out and explore a bit, too.
Sunflower sessions!
Sunflowers summer 2020 are a wrap! I shot these during the Alvis Farms 2nd Annual Sunflower Festival in Manakin (a few minutes outside of short pump). The sunflowers were spectacular, the field was huge, and the sunset was great the night I was out there! Looking forward to more—if you’re interested, contact me to ask about some later-summer options at additional farm location or catching me during next year’s summer special at Alvis Farms :)
A 2020 graduation shoot (with cows)
My client loves cows and just graduated, so she asked if we could do a celebratory shoot hanging out with some cows. SAY NO MORE! This is my most favorite sort of thing.
Many thanks to Richlands Dairy Farm for hosting - your girls were very sweet as always!
M's Senior Graduation Shoot
This year’s celebrations look a little different, but graduation is a big deal nonetheless! I enjoyed meeting this awesome senior at Double B Equestrian to shoot some celebration photos before she heads off onto her next big venture with the class of 2020.
Fall and Winter Wrapup - thank you, everyone!
I am long overdue for a blog post on my site, but after entering a very busy season, I prioritized getting galleries delivered and am finally catching up on sharing some of my work with the rest of you now that shooting has wound down a bit over the holidays! 2019 was a great year and I am thankful once again for all the clients and friends who have supported me and helped me continue to build business. Here are just a couple images from throughout the fall and winter to show you what I’ve been up to—head to my facebook page to see many more updates and sneak peeks, as I post sessions more frequently there as well! I’ve also updated my offerings for 2020, and I’ve added a new package for those seeking black background images and wall art of their horses. Happy new year, friends!
Sam and Amber | Married
Sam and Amber had a beautiful Mechanicsville wedding last week! I loved their wedding colors and all the greens in their florals. More importantly, they had a beautiful celebration to kick off their next adventures surrounded by great friends and family! Congratulations, guys! View their highlights gallery here.
Little Red Wagon One-Year Session
Waylon is turning one! The last time I saw him, we shot his six-month photos. It has been neat to watch all these little babies growing up so fast!
Horse+Rider Portrait Sessions at Pine Crest Farm
I love getting out to meet new barns, and I somehow had not yet been to Pine Crest Farm until this month, for a set of awesome horse and rider shoots with lesson riders and some boarders. This barn is right behind the facility where I did my first CVSJA jumper show quite a few years ago, out in Manakin. Beautiful place, beautiful light coming through the driveway trees, and a wonderful barn family that I enjoyed meeting of the course of several days! Thank you all for having me, Pine Crest! Here are just a few from some of those sessions.
Senior Horse + Rider Portrait Session
L wanted her senior photos with Sampson, so that’s what we did! We got a beautiful September evening with lots of sunset light and Sampson was a good boy. Can’t beat that!
More sunflowers!
As I edit through the latest round of shoots this week, I have to go ahead and share a bunch from last Thursday's mini sessions at Alvis Farms LLC. Editing this sweet mom-daughter duo made my day! We had a great time out in the sunflowers--I'm doing one more set out there tomorrow while the flowers are still in bloom, and then we will just have to wait until next year to get back out :) See lots more from this mother-daughter shoot here.
Lulu's Big News
Lulu the Frenchie is having puppies soon—her announcement session is one of the most unique things I’ve gotten to shoot. We had a great time! Check out the rest of her sunsetty session here: https://laurasieglephotographyllc.passgallery.com/-lulu
Dale + Dolly
I recently had the opportunity to capture some special memories of Dale and Dolly for their lovely owner. It was a beautiful morning!
Mike + Sarah | Married
This couple got married at the Jamestown 4-H setting, which provided a lovely view of the James River and some handy beaches for wedding party photos. They had a beautiful day and I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to capture it! View more from their day here.
Erin + Will | Married
It is hard to beat a barn wedding when that barn is right in the backyard of your childhood home. Erin and Will picked a beautiful day to celebrate with friends and family and they transformed their Amelia County family farm into a pretty awesome venue for a wedding day! Congratulations, guys! See more highlights from their day here.

C's Cake Smash
It was great to see this little guy again—I shot his newborn images a last year :) He wasn’t so sure he wanted to get dirty, but he did find out that icing tastes pretty good.
2018 Fall and Winter Family Photo Catch-Up...and More Ponies!
Fall is usually a busy season, but this one was certainly the biggest I’ve ever had. Here’s a little bit of what I was up to with my “regular” portrait work, and since there were plenty of horse sessions this fall, those are in here too! Keep up with my work on Facebook.
Baby M
I shot this couple’s maternity session, so it was awesome to get to meet the whole party of three a few weeks later! Congrats, guys! See lots more here.
