It was an absolutely GORGEOUS day today as we welcomed home the heroes of the VFA-81.  The skies were blue, the sun was shining and the temperatures cooled just enough to make it picture perfect!Remember this little sweetheart?  One of my favorite newborn photos ever!Well, she’s 7 months old now, and her Daddy came home […]

It’s a GIRL!! There are so few surprises in life anymore – I always get a *tinge* extra excited when I hear that a client is waiting to find out the gender of their child when he/she is born!  And then being asked to photograph the moment of their birth becomes that much more exciting. […]

It was a HOT ONE last night when we trekked all the way out to Smithfield to try out a new location! We originally had talked about this session on the beach, but I usually dissuade those with babies under 2 from the beach unless they are very comfortable little beach babes! The humid air […]

Sweet Allison was a FAB sleeper for me!  I just love when I start to take a newborn’s legs out of her clothes and then just curl right back up as if they are still all curled up in the womb!  That is my first clue that a baby is ‘fresh’ and ready to be […]

Last weekend, I had the chance to head out to the beach and photograph this expecting momma.  She’s due to have her princess in about three weeks, so we joked quite a bit about the fact that I’ve had THREE mommas who have given birth the night of or day after our session!  (Seriously!)  But […]

Every birth is amazing – no matter the length, the type, the place, or the circumstance.  My favorite part of being a birth photographer is that every single birth story is different.  It’s always fresh and new and exciting…and beautiful.  Witnessing the moments before and right after a new life is a true honor – […]

Here are three of my “Milestones Babies” – those who have chosen to take advantage of my Milestones Package to come see me at 3, 6, and 12 months.  Lately, I’ve been recommending that we hold off on our session until a particular milestone is met rather than simply scheduling the session for exactly 3 […]
