Hi there, I'm Audra. I'm a Virginia fine art photographer based in Charlottesville. I was born and raised in a small Georgia town, but I fell in love with Virginia in 2015 and decided to stay. My journey into photography began with writing and capturing life on paper as a poet and through my career in wedding editorial for publications like Zola and Borrowed & Blue. My love of seeing incredible images as an editor showed me the beauty of documenting moments beyond my pen and has helped me hone my passion for photography. And now I spend as much time chasing down perfect sunlight as I do chasing down perfect words.
When I'm not behind the camera or tucked away somewhere with a book, you can find me enjoying life with my partner Charles, styling my 1920s home, or snuggling with my Frenchie pup, Finny.

“A precise emotion seeks a precise expression.”
— Jeanette Winterson
Life is weird. Life is wonderful. Life is poetry. I believe those three statements with all of my being, and I've felt deeply all of my life that every little moment that makes us laugh, that reminds us of those memories tucked away deep in our hearts, that give our lives meaning are incredibly special. I love what I do and I cherish the moments I get to be behind my camera because I know that I'm helping the individual in front of my camera find ways to cherish the things that matter, whether that be a wedding day surrounded by beautiful moments of love and laughter and those that make our hearts happy or during a boudoir session where someone learns to let go and love themselves for the beautiful work of art they are.
It's the little things that matter and photographs give us the gift of letting us hold a little bit life's incredible, imperfect beauty in the palms of our hands.
Why I Love What I do
The moments that make up your life — the ones that you tuck away in the quiet parts of your heart — shouldn't just be felt, they should be seen too.
