WORK WITH ME

Hi, I’m Miriam the girl behind the lens

And hopefully your new photographer. As a proud mom of a sweet little boy who’s keeping me busy when I’m not behind the lens, I know exactly how it feels to raise and wrangle a family. You wish you could freeze all those precious moments so you can forever remember how they felt. My goal is to capture authentic and raw memories of you and your loved ones and preserve all the sweet little details that mean the world to you. 
Whether it is you chasing your sweet wild ones through a field, a family fishing adventure, a romantic and intimate engagement in the mountains of Virginia, playing with the chickens in your yard, or simply family photos in your own home to make it extra special - I’m here to document your family life - with all the little perfect imperfections.
Let me tell your story through my lens. I can’t wait to meet you!

Love Notes

We had such a wonderful experience with Miriam Dudley Photography! From the moment we met her, Miriam made us feel completely at ease—no awkward posing, no stress, just a relaxed and fun atmosphere. She has a natural way of guiding you through the session so it feels effortless, and the results are absolutely stunning. Our family photos turned out even better than we imagined, beautifully capturing our personalities and genuine moments together. We will treasure these photos for years to come. I can’t recommend Miriam enough if you want gorgeous images and an experience that feels comfortable and enjoyable!

Miriam was an absolute dream to work with! From the very beginning, she was professional, detailed, and incredibly well prepared. On our wedding day, she captured every special moment with such care and creativity. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the day all over again — every laugh, tear, and smile is perfectly preserved. Her talent and attention to detail made our wedding truly unforgettable. We couldn’t be happier with the results!

I honestly could not rave more about my whole experience with our family photo shoot. It was amazing, she took her time with my son and explaining comfortable positions for us to take pictures in. All was natural poses nothing awkward and her speed to getting out photos back to us was less than a week! And she sent little surprises through out that week which was super exciting in the middle of a work day haha. As an 8 month pregnant momma she made me feel amazing. 10/10
