A mom to two amazing young girls, a wife to an incredibly supportive husband, and a life long creative who is overly passionate about documenting life. We are all living a story, our story, and I truly believe that the single best way to pass our story from generation to generation is through photographs. And no, I don’t mean digital photography, I mean real deal photos and albums, artwork displaying our personalities, our big (or little) moments, and who we are as people.
I believe in documenting once in a lifetime moments, but also making sure to not overlook the ordinary details that add the fullness to our lives. I believe we are all our best when we are the most comfortable. I believe in honesty and kindness, and I operate my business accordingly. I believe in community over competition. I believe in telling stories through photography sessions - to say “a picture is worth 1,000 words” seems trite, but we have only our memories and the images we take to preserve the incredible moments that life sends our way.
I’d love to hear from you today so we can start documenting your days!
Located in Fairfax Virginia and serving all surrounding areas.

Prices shown are session fees, which include pre-session consultations, photography, professional image editing, and a private viewing gallery. Fees stated also include a certain amount of files, products, and/or gallery store credits. For more information, please message me!
I typically don't offer promotions or discounts, however, if you follow my Facebook or Instagram accounts, you will be notified of seasonal mini-session packages, savings on files or prints, photo albums, and more.
Milestone sessions start at 20 minutes of photography, Family and Newborn sessions start at 45 minutes of photography.
Files, prints and products are available for purchase directly through your viewing gallery. Any prints or products purchased through your gallery will be fulfilled by a professional lab and shipped directly to your home. The gallery store will have stand-alone pricing for files or prints as well as package pricing for multiple files or print packages.
I do! Anyone who books a session after mentioning that they were referred to me will receive 15% off their gallery purchase (must provide name of client who referred you). Anyone who successfully refers someone to Adria Michelle Photography (meaning, the referral books and completes their session) will receive 15% off their next session fee (not valid on mini/promotional sessions).
Yes. To reserve your session date/time (or for Newborn & Fresh 48 EDD), I require a retainer fee. This is due at time of contract signing. The balance of your package cost is due 1 week before your session date.
Want to add a maternity mini to your newborn session? Or maybe book a few different milestone sessions to document babies first year? Let's chat - I offer several different package options that can be modified to fit your needs!
I offer a few mini session opportunities each year, available on a first come, first served basis. Be one of the first to find out about mini sessions by following me on Facebook or Instagram!

"Adria was amazing! She met us in the hospital to take our Fresh 48 shots of our newborn baby and they were fantastic! She captured the special moments we were sharing with our new daughter and the love in the room. I appreciate her style and the lifestyle images she got. They are memories that will last a lifetime! She was very sweet and professional to work with. She promised a sneak peak within 24 hours, but I had the sneak peak that night, and THE WHOLE ALBUM in a day. Incredible turn around time!!"

"I highly recommend Adria. She is very friendly and put the girls at ease right away. Our girls are a little older (11 and 15) and she was so great with them and made them laugh and have fun with the session...We had such a hard time choosing which ones to get as all the ones she sent me were so good. She captured our girls great smiles while they were surrounded by beautiful, natural backdrops at a local park. We will definitely be using Adria's services again!"

"After looking through countless local photographers, Adria's photographs caught my eye. I loved her natural, relaxed style of photography and how she doesn't over-edit her photos. Adria was lovely to work with, replied to emails very quickly and thankfully was available on the day we wanted to have photos taken! We love the photos she took for us - she must be some kind of magician as my toddler son was determined to explore instead of staying with us. Her turnaround time was impressive and very appreciated"

"...She gained my daughters trust right off the bat! As a parent you're always bribing and doing whatever it will take to make your little ones smile! We had no worries about our daughter smiling during this session. We've never had a photographer who was eager to know what we wanted in a session, areas we're self conscious about (the questionnaire is so amazing), or allow your little one to get behind the lens and snap away! Looking at our gallery we're blown away!"
