After chatting with her on the phone, I wanted to do something a bit different for this maternity client, so we met down on the Boardwalk at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront.  It was one of the only nicer days we’ve had this week, but boy did it end up getting WINDY!  Thanks, D, for being so flexible – I hope you enjoy this little peek at your session.

And I can’t resist posting this one – gorgeous, isn’t she?

Another amazing birth – this time at the Naval Hospital.  This mommy was cool as a cucumber – she spent most of her labor texting with a smile on her face.  Baby Kaylor’s birth was just like in the movies.  The nurse asked her to give a little push and then said, “Okay – DON’T PUSH!” and called into the hallway, “I NEED A DOCTOR IN HERE!”  This baby boy came into the world in a hurry.  Here are just a few of my favorites to share before the slideshow is put together.  Enjoy!

A few of my favorite people are featured today in this Sneak Peek!   Miss “H” recently turned one (remember her Cake Smash?) and her mommy wanted to capture this time – the exploration, the wonder, the laughter, and the precious nursing relationship they still share.  It was so much fun hanging out together again and when I left, I asked if it would be okay for me to share a few nursing shots on the blog and she replied, “I’m a Lactivist!”  I think these photos show an incredibly beautiful connection between a baby and her mommy!

I just love her expression here – pure excitement!

I am so excited to share one of my new products with you – the Standout Board!  I absolutely love these and love that they come in just about any size! Standout boards are thick, lightweight, and finished with a black edge.  The image is mounted directly on the board and finished with a lustre coating that makes it just pop off the wall!  My favorite part?  They come ready to display on your wall with hanging holes on the backside!  No frame needed, no additional cost!  How cool is that!?

I ordered one for myself and was blown away when it arrived!  Taking pictures of pictures is not my calling, but I wanted to show you how these look.  Here is the 8×10 of my kids that I ordered.

And a view from the side:

I will be offering all of my Storyboard collages with this standout board mounting included.  Here is one that a client ordered (this is a 16×20) and I thought it was gorgeous!

Here is the backside so that you can see how it hangs and a close up of the corner to see how nicely it’s finished:

As you can tell, I’m super excited to have this product for my clients and hope to offer similar products that allow you to display and treasure your photos forever!  After all, what good are pictures if they’re stuck on your computer?  Be sure to get them on your walls!!!

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birthday to you! Turning 4 is a BIG DEAL -  I hope you have a wonderful day today, my little friend!

I met with one of my favorite families last night after rescheduling no less than three times since November.  The weather was not cooperative in 2009, but the New Year seems to be much more favorable – what a gorgeous evening!

I am glad I got to capture this grin for you to remember his special birthday milestone:

And don’t forget about Little Miss Cutie-Pie’s milestone!  It’s not every day you turn 9 months old!

Here are a few more of my favorites to share with you.  Your full album will be ready for preview soon!

As you can see, I’m trying a different style with my previews – I’d love for my fans to leave a comment and let me know what you think!
