This cutie pie has waited a long time to see her Daddy.  Remember how adorable she and her mommy were back when I photographed them to send pics to him while on deployment?  She’s even cuter now, if that’s possible! We hung out together at Norfolk International Airport on Monday evening waiting for Daddy to […]

The USS Eisenhower returned from a 7 month deployment this week – it was my third homecoming in three days, and definitely the hottest day to be outside, but well worth it to capture such a special event.  What an amazing experience!  The news organizations estimated 20,000 people were waiting at Norfolk Naval Base for […]

What an awesome experience to be at the fly-in homecoming of a squadron at Oceana Naval Air Station!  My husband has always said that the jet noise you hear in this area is just the “sound of freedom” and that rang so true while I was attending this special event.  These guys were gone for […]

I am very excited to share with you a special birth – a VBAC (somewhat rare in this area) at Chesapeake Regional Medical Center!  This new little guy’s daddy will be returning from deployment this week and missed his entrance by only a few days.  But, I was there to capture each moment for them!

How can you not smile at this – pure birthday cake joy!! This little girl in her rainbow tutu was just about the most perfect little cake smash model!  She smiled, she played with the icing, she took bites of the cake, she smeared it on her hands…oh, and she even tried SITTING on her […]

Ah, the sweetness! I was so excited to have a newborn girl during what seems to be a summer season of boys…not that I don’t love the little guys, but sometimes headbands and pink is just refreshing!  🙂  This little princess has a very tough mommy – her birth story is something straight out of […]

WOW.  Can I say that again?  WOW!  I am overwhelmed with the response to my Summer {Give} Mini-Session fundraiser for the Davis Family.  We have raised nearly $1300!!  Oh, happy day!  Not only that, but I was contacted by quite a few of you who opened your hearts to the Davis’, offering supplies, job information, […]

One of my favorite spots downtown was the site of my recently family session.  My camera absolutely loved this family (okay, I did, too) with the teenage daughter who was stunningly beautiful, a 4 year old son who was so cooperative that I didn’t know what to do with myself and three adults who smiled […]

This little man was too cute in his birthday outfit…but NOT excited about cake.  Typically, once a baby gets a taste of the sweet stuff, they don’t turn back.  Not this time – maybe he would have rather had broccoli.  Ha ha! We did manage to get him interested….a bit.  (As long as the animal […]

I was honored to be asked by a fellow photographer, Christene of CS Photography, to be present to capture the birth of her second child.  It was my first time photographing a “surprise” gender, which made it even more exciting!!  Christene’s husband was not due to return from deployment until after her due date, so […]
