Graceful Perceptions

Hi, I am Grace! I am a Charlottesville native with a passion for capturing life’s precious moments. I picked up the camera roughly five years ago, and have been following my dreams of becoming a full-time portrait photographer ever since. I was born with Mild Cerebral Palsy, so I know what it is like to have challenges. I fell in love with photography because it allows me to express who I am fully, overcoming those physical challenges. Behind the lens, I truly feel free. I’m able to capture the beauty I see within us as human beings. I truly get to connect with everyone I work with, and there is not a more rewarding feeling than that.

From a young age, I have always loved connecting and building relationships with others. As someone who has struggled with my own insecurities, I strive to use my passion to help others feel and value their true natural beauty. I aim to do this by making my clients feel comfortable and valued through our time working together. If you'd like to inquire about a session, please consider emailing me first instead of matching the lead, as thumbtack does charge for each one! Thank you! 😊
